Pync founder Varin Claire Trisopa comes back to Parsons ELAB two days after her public launch.
Description:
Last spring, Varin Claire Trisopa pitched Pync at or Elab’s Narwhal Tank. This fall, she’s back at ELAB with a $1M raise and a product that launches to the public on November 10.
Pync Inc. is a hardware + mobile app startup building AI-powered pet health solutions. It combines intelligent hardware, biometric monitoring and preventive care so pet owners can catch problems before they become emergencies.
Join us for an honest conversation about what really happens between the pitch and the raise: how the product evolved, what she’d do differently, and the lessons (and mistakes) along the way. After that, get your hands on the freshly launched product in a live co-design workshop. Test it, question it, and help shape what comes next.
