I have to admit, I just didn't have the heart to write two articles about the last two days at ChangeNOW. I dragged myself home, ate, and went to sleep. The key is to do it quietly, because you really don't have the energy to say a word
But I can say that the last two days were much more intense than the first. The last day in particular was open to the public, and there were countless people who simply came to hang out and chat - including about our project
There’s something quite inspiring about this. When people tell you that what you’re doing is necessary and important
Here’s an important point for any startup: you need to verify in practice that it’s not just IMPORTANT AND NECESSARY to you as the creator, but that it also resonates with people. And I’m not talking about marketing, the market, or other important benchmarks - just a simple, human “yes,” as in, “this is important to me.”
It really motivates me to keep working on the project, notwithstanding all its challenges
A little context for the photos in the header and some of the photos in the article itself. At a certain point while working on the project, we found a way to simulate pain as closely as possible - not that it was strictly necessary, but there is one point to make. It’s pretty hard for us guys to explain and understand what painful periods and chronic pain are like, but we found a way to give a rough idea of what it feels like. The photos show the results of the experiment, which the girls really enjoy - and some not so much... Well, you get the idea
“Finally, he gets it!”
That was the phrase we heard most often over the past few days
Special thanks to Yulia and Eugénie, who answered our call and helped out at the booth over the course of these two days
