What have we been up to.

As many entrepreneurs know, the growth from a great business idea to the industry changing presence they fight so hard to become founders take on several roles. Some of these roles, or hats as we like to say, are well within your expertise, while others are not so much. In the absence of a truly gifted document writer, or documentor, aka blogger, I'd like to give you a brief overview of the last few months, as well as our current status, and upcoming challenges.

Lets go back to March of this year, fresh from the return of the founders trip to Silicon Valley, we pushed our vision forward. Having learned and experienced a lot from the VC's and other successful entrepreneurs we regathered our growing team, added experienced individuals to fill the missing knowledge gaps, and began the steps toward our MVP and Beta platform.

We settled into our offices in THEA The Athens Business Incubator who have been very helpful in giving us resources, access to a great network, and providing access to competitions and conventions to help us build awareness.

The MIT Enterprise Forum Greece MIT-EF was in full swing and the guiadance we received from our mentors gave us the direction we needed to make steps forward without making the mistakes that send us crashing. From the 25 semifinalist companies involved in the experience and competition we were vast underdogs ready to show our potential. We also invited to attend the MIT entrepreneurial Boot Camp in Boston US, a great experience and fantastic networking event that last over a week.

Moving through April and May we saw many challenges come at us. From development issues to finding avenues to build awareness. The Pioneers.io convention in Vienna was a great way to get the ball moving. Finding great support again from THEA (the Athens Business Incubator) we met with some great and very open investment groups, and other entrepreneurs. We even were able to solidify a partnership for our infrastructure, a big thanks to Softlayer for aiding startups and helping bring us another step closer.

May also brought us some great news, having passed into the semi-finals of the MIT-EF as well as the Hellenic Entrepreneur Award, we had 2 very big goals ahead of us. Making the finals for both of these very competitive groups. With a great effort from our team, and many sleepless nights we did just that. Now comes the real push! Just making the finals isn't the end goal, but it is a great accomplishment for us, always the underdogs, it re-assured us that we have something special here.

Summer time, with the political turmoil in Greece starting to take center stage on a global level. The drive for us to succeed only grew. 


We saw opportunity by keeping much of our team here in Greece as a way to give other entrepreneurs here a success story to follow. The finals of both the MIT-EF and HEA did not go our way, but the encouragement we received from many there, as well as the lessons we learned had a great effect on us.

August saw us closing in on our MVP release, and began our Beta user program. Without launching a formal request for beta users, we received more then 200% of the requests we thought we would, including a broad spectrum not just in Tutoring experience, but also in geo locations. A launch of our early MVP level platform met with many challenges, but the team pushed through them putting in the long hours needed to produce our working engine.

Now that you have been brought up to the present, check out our September blogs, containing some GREAT information, news and announcements.
