AgeTech Collaborative™ from AARP’s Post

Last week Gregory Raiz and Enyu R. hosted their 1st ‘#DitchtheDeck’ event at Venture Café Cambridge. Ditch the Deck was different in that there were no pitches, at least not your standard issue one. For this event, it was pure product demo. Get on stage, get your product up and running, and go. This first event highlighted five #startup companies with the opportunity to literally show the crowd what their product can do and included. Logatot: Voice Assistant for In-Home Child Care Providers. AutoPCB: Automated circuit board design tool. Devrio: Virtual home improvement estimates using 3D video scans. Adaptive Reader: AI to adapt reading materials to a different grade level or language. FRQ Technologies: AI agent for health care clinicians. In standard Demo style, some demos wouldn’t cooperate, but our startup peeps would persevere, delivering some top notch presentations to a crowd of fellow startupers, #investors, creators and basically all-around great crowd made of the #Boston startup ecosystem. Won’t be the last one as this proved to be a home run, looking forward to the next event. Kudos to Greg and Enyu for a great event.

Last night at Startup Club ZA, we pitched FlexiGyn on stage - and the feedback was beyond meaningful! There’s something thrilling about standing in front of a room full of brilliant minds, each with their own wild and wonderful solutions to the world’s problems. It’s a testament to what happens when you gather divergent perspectives under one roof - it’s not just innovation; it’s adaptability on hyperdrive. Three core takeaways from last night: 🧠 Perception is Reality: Sometimes the magic isn’t in what we create, but in how we frame it. FlexiGyn is a solution for improving women’s health, but it’s also a statement on convenience through first principles. What truly resonated last night was realising that the audience didn’t just see a product; they saw a tool for infrastructure. It’s a reminder that sometimes the perception we create is the most powerful part of our pitch. 🌍 The Ecosystem Effect: A single, isolated idea has a limited shelf life. But when thrown into a dynamic ecosystem, it takes on new forms, new functions. FlexiGyn came alive last night - not because of our presentation alone, but because the room was buzzing with other entrepreneurs’ insights, investors' questions, and a collective drive to tackle bigger problems. Ecosystems don’t just support - they evolve ideas. 💡 Adaptability Through Divergence: The strength of adaptability lies in how many viewpoints you can pack into one room. Our pitch wasn’t just shaped by our vision for FlexiGyn but by the conversations, critiques, and connections made after. Different minds, different industries - when we think differently, we become different. A massive thanks to Startup Club ZA for creating this platform and Mathew for leading an incredible ceremony. The magic isn’t just in the pitches; it’s in the way this community powers forward, shaping the future of healthcare, tech, and beyond. #MedicalDevice #WomensHealth #FlexiGyn #FemTech
