Recognition

Recognized across Europe.

Competitions are not the product. They are external proof that the idea has survived pressure, pitching, feedback, and comparison against other young ventures.

Proof wall

External validation without pretending to be finished.

1st

Blue Ocean Entrepreneurs Competition

Europe-wide first place. A strong early signal that the positioning and ambition travel beyond a local school context.

Top 5

STARTUP TEENS Health

Selected among the top health projects. The next hurdle is public voting until June 12, 2026.

Top 14

Jugend grundet Germany

The original modular sensor idea was strong enough to reach the national top 14 before the team shifted strategy.

Timeline

Momentum, not mythology.

Meet the team

The frustration that started it

Mateo becomes dissatisfied with subscription-based wearables and starts thinking about an open-source fitness band.

The first public version

The team submits the original concept: a main PCB with round body-sensor modules and an open-source modular software idea.

The network expands

Roman and Mateo meet experienced startup and hardware people, opening the path to sharper strategy and faster prototype feedback.

B2B becomes the primary market

The team moves from "for everyone" to pilot partners: research, safety, GBU-Psyche, neuromarketing, wellness, and specialist open-source users.

Main PCB manufactured and tested

JLCPCB manufacturing, assembled main boards, Seeed XIAO nRF52840 Sense platform, and round sensor-module PCBs ready for assembly validation.

Public proof and pilot search

Blue Ocean Europe first place, STARTUP TEENS Top 5 Health, and a clearer website funnel: talk to pilot partners, show the hardware, keep the open-source path alive.

Live now

STARTUP TEENS voting is a short-term conversion moment.

Until June 12, 2026, the site can carry a focused voting strip. After the deadline, that section should become a regular proof block or be removed to keep the site timeless.
