Spore Spotlight

Hello everybody! This summer, we were able to accomplish some of our long-standing goals! We got accepted into Mass Challenge, partnered with a lab, took part in the MIT I-Corps program, connected with manufacturers, and participated at TiE Boston.

We are also excited to announce we have begun fundraising and will be opening a pre-seed round shortly.

Keep reading to learn about some of our most recent accomplishments and endeavors:

MC Innovate

We had an amazing experience in Dallas at MassChallenge’s MC Innovate, where startup companies like ours came together to explore new frontiers!

MC Innovate reinforced how a strong community is the foundation of a successful startup, highlighted the immense value of networking, and provided insight on creating effective business models. We were very fortunate to connect with like-minded individuals, learn from industry leaders, and gain insights that will shape the future of Vitaliti. After an invaluable experience, we are officially Mass Challenge alumni. 🎓

Home Cleanovation Challenge

Vitaliti pitched at the MC Home Cleanovation Challenge. The purpose of this challenge was to showcase innovation in the fabric or home care industries. As one of the finalists, we had the privilege of receiving valuable feedback from senior leaders and executives at Procter & Gamble! The winner will be notified in the next few weeks and will be rewarded a partnership with P&G!

TiE Women’s Pitch Competition

Members of the Vitaliti team had the privilege of witnessing one of our co-founders, Andrea Crewe, give her pitch at the TiE Boston Women's Pitch Competition! Andrea was one of the 6 finalists chosen from a pool of 36 applicants! 🌟

It was an incredible opportunity to pitch alongside an inspiring group of female founders, receive valuable insights from the TiE Boston team, and gain access to the invaluable resources that TiE provides.

Startup Week Boston

We had a great time at Startup Week Boston! It was incredibly valuable to learn from experts in the industry and connect with other entrepreneurs. As we continue our journey, we're excited to put their insights into practice. Here are some of our key takeaways:

• Investors are not just interested in your product; they're interested in you as a person. Building relationships is as important as building your product.

• Rejection isn't a dead end; it's a learning opportunity.

• Building a personal relationship with your legal team fosters trust and ensures smooth collaboration.

• Daily processes should not rely on memory alone but should be so well-organized that anyone can step in if needed.

That’s all for now!
