If you're reading this post, it's less than 48 hours until the official launch of CASTIQ.
You might think everything is ready now. The products are developed, the first boards produced, the website is up, and the packages are waiting to be shipped. The reality, however, is a little different.
As we write this, we can think of about a hundred things we absolutely "just want to quickly" improve. Swap out another image here, adjust some text there, check packaging, sort modules, review instructions, and of course, constantly ask ourselves: Have we really thought of everything?
The past few months have been a mix of excitement, frustration, motivation, and countless hours of work. After work, it wasn't off to the couch, but to the workshop. Prototypes were printed, discarded, improved, and redeveloped. Many ideas worked, others ended up directly in the trash.
And that's exactly what makes starting a business at a young age so special.
You don't have huge budgets, large teams, or departments for every problem. Instead, you simply do everything yourself. Development, production, marketing, website, customer service, shipping, and in between, your normal everyday life.
Of course, we're nervous. After all, an incredible amount of time, energy, and passion has gone into CASTIQ. At the same time, we're really looking forward to finally seeing how you like our products.
Not long ago, CASTIQ was just a spontaneous idea between two friends. Now, we're about to equip the first customers with our own products.
No matter what happens in the next few days: We are incredibly proud of what we've achieved so far and grateful for everyone who has accompanied us on this journey.
Now it's time for the final sprint.
And then CASTIQ finally goes live. 🚀
