Sequoia at One AI Forum 2024: Results

Last weekend, the biggest international AI forum in the CIS region took place in Minsk.

The event spanned two days. The first day was exclusively for investors, partners, startups, and VIPs. The second day was open to everyone interested in high-tech and AI.

Sequoia was selected from over 200 startups and earned both a booth to present our product and a spot as one of 20 startups allowed to pitch in front of the jury.

Preparation for the Forum

Understanding the importance of the event, we made extensive preparations:

• Printed stickers and sticker packs.
  
  
• Announced our participation on social media and our blog.
  
  
• Updated a pitch deck and refined our pitch.
  
  
• Arrived at the venue on Thursday to set up our roll-ups near the entrance to the Pitch Stage.
  
  
• Invited a photographer who captured numerous photos and videos.
  
  
• Played Sequoia’s promo video at our booth throughout the two days of the conference.

All these efforts paid off.

The Results

There were many benefits to participating:

• We introduced a large number of people to our product.
  
  
• Reconnected with long-standing collaborators.
  
  
• Networked with investors, business leaders, speakers, and other startups.
  
  
• Received invitations to upcoming events and several collaboration offers.

Additionally, participating in such events has a significant team-building effect. The team sees the tangible results of their efforts and becomes even more motivated to continue developing Sequoia.

Sequoia in the TOP-10

Our most notable achievement was being named one of the TOP-10 startups at the forum, based on the jury’s votes.

As a reward, we were invited to participate in the organizer’s acceleration program, which includes attending a follow-up conference in the UAE.

We expect to be contacted soon with further details.

Conclusion

We are pleased with the results, but what excites us most is the growing trend. Men of various ages came to our booth and asked us to share more about Sequoia. With each conference, we see more of this kind of interest.

This is yet another sign that the focus on men’s health is gaining momentum and that Sequoia’s success is on the horizon.
