Starting a business during coronavirus outbreak

The last time we met the three of us physically, we hadn't even made a decision yet to work together.

We met at Shapira Cafe in Tel Aviv. We arrived with vehicles. Public transportation was already less attractive...

By that time we had already realized that ordering custom parts is one big headache. We decided to build a solution.

The next two and a half months were surreal. Coronavirus provided us with an opportunity to provide critical components for medical devices and save important time.

In a world where you can't physically meet and everyone has more time at home, we met online with hundreds of potential customers. Sometimes 15 a day.
We built a network of manufacturers that will allow us to continue receiving more orders.

Phones and packages that come home with ventilation machine components. It's easier to open doors this during these crazy times.

Then we built a product. Simple. At first it was fragile. Then, at least, it worked. It is now able to analyze production requirements and build automated quotes. exciting. It allows us to turn to more acquaintances, supply more orders, serve more people.

So here we go, first step in the dark. I'll try to share as authentically as possible (whenever possible). especially about the problems and hard things.

It might end tomorrow. Judging by the statistics, odds aren't exactly in our favor. In the short time we have already learned that most if it will go wrong somehow and that we'll need to find some way around.

But it will probably be fun sometimes.

And if you reached this far: If you know procurement professionals and engineers in manufacturing companies / medical devices, we would really appreciate it if you introduce them to us!
