Spore Spotlight

by Vitaliti

Hello everybody! We have some major company updates. We are excited to announce that we have developed a proof-of-concept device! We are now undergoing feasibility testing by culturing mold at Boston College and are gearing up for customer testing this summer. Additionally, we are continuing to exercise non-dilutive grants and competitions to support our current product development. Keep reading to learn about some of our most recent endeavors and how you can help turn Spore into a reality! 🌟

Go-To-Market Strategy

In order to better hone our target demographic, we are currently undergoing our second round of go-to-market interviews. If you or anyone you know has a mold story to share, we’d love to hear it. If interested, please reach out at [email protected].

Additionally, we are conducting user research to gauge interest and gather information that will inform our product development. Your insights and feedback will play a pivotal role in refining Spore. We'd greatly appreciate it if you filled out our short User Research Survey below. Thank you!

Andrea’s Visit to Boston

Andrea's recent visit to Boston brought the Vitaliti team together in full force! Not only did we get to watch her deliver a captivating talk about her experience with design thinking, but we also had the opportunity to ideate together in person! We are very grateful for these moments of connection and creativity.
