T6. After a range of meetings and discussions, you built a strong partnership with a clear goal and new products and market directions pre-defined.

You and your 4 new partners are eager to start the research and development process!

You believe that all together you have everything you need, your great design and coffee industry expertise, a research lab with a portfolio of coffee-related technologies, components supplier, coffee distributor with high-level e-commerce expertise, and even your last-moment acquisition to the partnership an international association of baristas to support the fast international expansion of your new products!
