[PRISM] A radical detour from your usual workday?

It's picture day! A behind the scenes look at the filming of our product demo (feat. Helen the hand model).
What we're working on:

Happy "Not Monday!" This week, we’re taking a detour from our usual workday (not that we really have a stereotypical work day) to travel to San Francisco in order to pitch to VCs and take a trip around the Silicon Valley start-up ecosystem. This is a capstone trip as a part the 8th cohort of Startup UCLA's Summer Accelerator. We've been practicing our pitch, and while we are not looking to take on VC funding at this time, it will be great practice for us when we are ready to take on an investor. Finding the right investor is like, dating and jumping into a relationship, and we know right now that we're taking time to *work on ourselves.*

Some other quick updates:

🦄 We contracted a technical designer who's worked at TOMS! Now that we've tackled the user experience and function of the bag, we are working on elevating the brand and its style.
📹 We just finished filming our demo of the bag. We are debuting the video demo during our pitch at Lightspeed Ventures and it will be live soon with our new website!
💌 Would you like to test our new bag (for free) or become a PRISM ambassador? Send us a line, we'd love to hear from you!
📅 This month in numbers (Early August - present day):
