After the Hackathon
We were invited by SCWorks to present our application
We applied to the Monterey Bay Startup Challenge to bring this idea to the next level, seeking funding, investments, and financial advisors.
Unfortunately we weren’t able to secure funding and halted production on March 2020 to focus more on our studies.
Future
As of June 19, 2020 we slowly picked this back up as a hobby to bring it back as a mobile app. Check us out on Github!
