The EXIST Start-up Grant has not only provided financial support, but also created a valuable platform for growth, learning and networking. When we set out to start our own startup, we were aware that the journey would be a demanding challenge. Thanks to the scholarship, we were able to develop and advance our ideas and move forward with Advanced Additive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

During our time with the EXIST start-up grant, we have not only developed our company, but have also grown enormously on a more personal level. The challenges and accomplishments we have encountered along the way have taught us to be more resilient, determined and creative and to bring these qualities to Advanced Additive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As the next chapter of our start-up journey begins, we would like to wholeheartedly thank everyone who has supported us on this journey. Our thanks go to the EXIST start-up grant<\/a> team, our mentors and advisors from the ROCkET Start-up Center<\/a> at Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences<\/a>, who will accompany us on our future path. And finally, to everyone who believed in our vision and accompanied us on this amazing journey. Your support has made a significant contribution to our current success, for which we are all deeply thankful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What have we achieved in the last year of EXIST funding?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

During our funding period we have achieved a lot with the help of the EXIST funding. It has been a overall great learning experience, allowing us to test different ways to improve our software<\/a> and learn more about start-up expertise and how to build our business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We also made many new connections that are important for our Advanced Additive. Attending several trade fairs like Formnext and events helped us learn more about our industry and meet potential customers. We have also worked on improving our business plan, making sure it fits our vision and mission. These achievements and many more have built a strong foundation for our future growth and success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Although the official funding period of the exist founding grant has now ended, our commitment to Advanced Additive and our vision remains unchanged. We are very much looking forward to continuing to use the lessons learned and the support we have received to scale the start-up and reach new heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

On that note, we close this chapter with a deep sense of gratitude and look forward to everything that lies ahead. The EXIST start-up grant has not only helped us to lay the foundations for Advanced Additive and further develop our software, but has also shown us that with passion, determination and support, anything is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, EXIST start-up grant, for the past year full of new experiences and opportunities!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
