It revolves around one question: how to turn a working prototype into a product and a company that can succeed on the market.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of each evening is a moderated conversation (fireside chat) with a startup founder who has completed the journey from idea to customers or is right in the middle of it. The talk covers development, funding, manufacturing, finding customers and mistakes. It is followed by questions from the audience and networking. Special editions add startup pitches with feedback from investors.<\/p>\n<p>The series is led by <strong>Ricardo Monagas<\/strong> from <a href=\"https:\/\/luma.com\/uppersky\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uppersky<\/a>, in collaboration with the association <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makemore.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Make More<\/a> as part of the EPIC-X project and PrusaLab, where the evenings take place.
