This is where it all started

I first had the idea for YOURSSENTIALS back in 2021. That was three years ago now. At that time, the concept was not yet finalised like it is today and I started to create the first sketches and amateurish 3D models. I ordered a small case on Amazon and also a foam that I could cut out myself to build a first prototype and visualise the product.

First Steps

Since then, countless hours of work have gone into the product. As there is no comparable product, it was incredibly difficult to find the right contacts. I made phone calls and wrote email after email. Nobody could really help me, or the offers for development were far too expensive. To be honest, the project often stood still for several months because I was still studying and working in the meantime, so there simply wasn't enough time.

At some point I found a company in England that wanted to develop the product with me and could also build a prototype for a price I thought I could afford. For the first time, real engineers worked on the product and produced professional sketches and models. The development was quite expensive, which is why I ran out of money when the prototype was supposed to be built and the project was put on hold again for many months.

Current state of development

Through many more emails and contacts, I came to a start-up counselling service. They couldn't really help me there, but I was given an important contact for a local company. I was also recommended a start-up school and given an initial intro to help me build a network and get important information. I am currently part of this startup school and I have already been able to make important contacts and learn a lot. I also work with that local company that implements exactly these kinds of projects for start-ups, has experience and can therefore help me a lot. We have already found a manufacturer and are currently in the design phase to realise the prototype as quickly as possible. I hope that the prototype can finally be finalised this year so that I can take the next steps. You will hear about it!
