Our first year as a company is drawing to a close. It is therefore time for us to say thank you! To everyone who has supported us in our mission and shared our vision. While we successfully completed our crowdfunding campaign at the beginning of the year, we were still busy finalizing our go-live. But even before we could make Eye-Able available to everyone, we had a second reason to celebrate: we won BayStartUP and made it to the final of the Bavaria-wide business plan competition!
In April, the time had come: Eye-Able is ready to make our partners' websites accessible to even more people! We started directly with the first ministries that equipped their websites with Eye-Able and were thus able to start directly with successes - yeah!
We continued with our vision, which of course we had to bring into the world. Software can help even more people to participate in the digital world - we are still fighting for that today! So we took part in the Bavarian Digital Prize and launched our first trade fairs in the second half of the year! After the municipal trade fair in Tulln/Vienna, we had the chance to be one of the last 30 start-ups out of hundreds of applications to present our assistance software at the GROW SUMMIT in front of big names from the start-up scene. In the same week, we then went on to Dortmund to make websites even more accessible at the opticians' trade fair.
The last quarter of the year started with another trade fair: At the KOMMUNALE in Nuremberg, we had a home game, so to speak! Over a total of two days, we were able to further improve the digital accessibility of local authorities and had lots of great conversations and inspiring feedback. With a pile of cookies, we can now look forward to the Christmas season - and thus to planning for the new year 2022!
In general, there is really only one thing left for us to do at this point: Say thank you. Without you, the first year of the company would definitely not have gone like this. So a big Gracias, Malo, Thank you, Shukriyaa, Spasiba, Arigatō, Asante, Merci - here's to a happy new year!
Finally, a short message from our Managing Director to you:
