𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟏𝟓 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏. Yesterday, I stepped onto the stage at the 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐬 to do something I’ve never done before - pitch my own startup, 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐈𝐨𝐓. After years of managing high-load architectures and complex security layers, there is a completely different kind of adrenaline when you’re standing in front of a community of entrepreneurs, pitching a vision for the future of agriculture. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐈𝐨𝐓? We are focused on bringing AI and automation to the agricultural industry. The goal is simple but ambitious: to use IoT and intelligence to solve real-world inefficiencies in how we grow and manage food. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐰 Because the same principles of "Zero-Failure" and precision that we use in fintech and infrastructure are desperately needed in the soil. A massive thank you to the organizers and the jury for the opportunity and the invaluable feedback. Olga Bondareva , Elvir Galimov , Ivan Novikov , Aziz Satarov , Eldar Sharaf , Oksana Malysheva 🇺🇦 , Ilya Pyatnitskiy, MD , and the team really fostered a great environment for local founders to share their ideas. This was my first pitch, and it was an incredible experience. I’m excited, a little exhausted, and more motivated than ever for what’s coming next. This is just the beginning of the Demetra IoT journey, and I can’t wait to share more about the tech and the vision behind it. 𝐓𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤: 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡?
