About Vice-Principal ResearchNot all the benefits of the Wings accelerator, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Partnerships and Innovation카지노 게임 컬렉션s (QPI) program for startups, are found in the official curriculum. For entrepreneurs used to working on their own, having the chance to meet others involved in the same journey can have benefits, especially during COVID-19. That카지노 게임 컬렉션s true even if that connecting takes place via a Zoom call. For Erin Huitema and Behshid Behrouzi, the CEO and COO respectively of Alucia Lingerie, such a casual encounter helped them to establish a relationship with one of the leaders in their field.
The two engineering students (they graduated in 2021) founded their company as part of the Queen's Innovation Centre Summer Initiative program in 2019, with the goal, says Huitema, 카지노 게임 컬렉션to revolutionize the bra industry with our designs.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Their intent is deeply serious. 카지노 게임 컬렉션If a woman doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션t enjoy full mobility, she cannot put on or remove a conventional bra by herself,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Huitema says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Currently there are no attractive bras for women with arthritis or even minor shoulder injuries that make them feel confident in what they're wearing. Accessible bras do exist, but they are geriatric and medical-looking.카지노 게임 컬렉션
카지노 게임 컬렉션We카지노 게임 컬렉션re making something that카지노 게임 컬렉션s unique on the market,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Behrouzi (the two trade off seamlessly when speaking). 카지노 게임 컬렉션Using universal design principles, we have developed a clasp that makes it easy for users.카지노 게임 컬렉션 There are bras out there that purport to be 카지노 게임 컬렉션adaptive카지노 게임 컬렉션 in their construction, says Behrouzi, but in fact aren카지노 게임 컬렉션t. A wearer would still need help. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We are currently in the process of applying for a patent, with the expertise and support of QPI카지노 게임 컬렉션s Patent Team,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Huitema.
The two learned about the Wings accelerator through the WE-CAN (Women Entrepreneurs Can) Project led by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Partnerships and Innovation (QPI). 카지노 게임 컬렉션We were using a lot of their services and attending their events,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Huitema. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Kerry Ramsay, the Project Manager, suggested we join the Wings program.카지노 게임 컬렉션 They weren카지노 게임 컬렉션t strictly an early-stage startup, but she suggested they could still benefit from it.
카지노 게임 컬렉션The program was absolutely incredible,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Huitema. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It was so, so beneficial, and the people who run it were lovely. COVID카지노 게임 컬렉션s been difficult for a lot of businesses, including our own카지노 게임 컬렉션it카지노 게임 컬렉션s been hard to stay motivated. The program really centred us over the summer [Wings ran from early June to late July] and gave us a nice blueprint to progress.카지노 게임 컬렉션 카지노 게임 컬렉션We definitely saw productivity spikes after every session,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Behrouzi, 카지노 게임 컬렉션whether it was just Erin and me discussing ideas we had come up with during the sessions or networking with people we had met through the program and leads they had given us.카지노 게임 컬렉션
One particular lead, from a fellow Wings participant, has already proven particularly beneficial. Hearing about Alucia Lingerie카지노 게임 컬렉션s product, Scott Selbie, the CEO at Theia Markerless, offered to help. 카지노 게임 컬렉션He introduced us to Julie Steele,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Behrouzi. Julia is a professor emerita at the 카지노게임사이트 of Woolongong in New South Wales, Australia and founder and former director of the Biomechanics Institute there (home to Breast Research Australia). Steele has the distinction of inventing the world카지노 게임 컬렉션s first bionic bra, which can increase or decrease support as needed. 카지노 게임 컬렉션He [Selbie] heard about our mission and thought it strongly aligned with her research,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Huitema. Steele now serves as a mentor to the two young women. Selbie 카지노 게임 컬렉션also really highly recommended that we speak to Veterans Canada for funding because our bra would be beneficial for amputees as well,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Behrouzi. Although Theia Markerless, like the other Wings participants, was involved in a very different business, they were still able to connect: 카지노 게임 컬렉션Regardless of the industry you카지노 게임 컬렉션re in, it카지노 게임 컬렉션s all the same process,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
Come early 2022, Alucia Lingerie plan on started their kickstarter round of fund raising. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We카지노 게임 컬렉션ve done a lot of testing, a lot of validating, and we are now at the stage of getting the money and actually producing the product,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Huitema.
카지노 게임 컬렉션But we will definitely be tapping into the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s innovation community in future,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s been remarkable for us so far.카지노 게임 컬렉션
