Hi there!

We are the HYKESters

We empower consumers to make their own decisions

Here is our story

HYKE wins a pitch competition
Idea stage
Summer 2019
Why did you buy that particular item? What if you had more money to spend? Would you buy that very item again? For Ph.D. people, these questions are enough to start a journey. We participated in the Evolution program by Genesis to validate our idea, interview users, and customers and, more importantly, build the minimum viable product.
We ended up winning the first place prize of the PitchNPick competition!

Learning, Planning, and Execution
Fall 2019
Time to learn, build, test, and repeat. We participated in Volta Leap, Y Startup school, Propel Phase II, and pitched to join the Genesis Enterprise program. Enterprise is an incubator program designed to help technology startups grow their business and get to Product-Market Fit. The product is getting ready, and we're testing it for the beta release.
HYKE Beta launch
Beta Release
Winter 2020
Beta is where the maybe gets clarity. We designed a trial run for testing our product with targeted users and customers. Meanwhile, we participated in the Disciplined Entrepreneurship workshop by Bill Allet and learned how to translate technology into an innovative new product.
