Quarterly Update: Hell Yeah, We're in the Trenches!

Hot damn, what a savage three months! Last newsletter, we were toasting wins, but this quarter? Full-on Valley of Death madness. Some called us gloomy, but screw that, as founders, we live for this grind.

Scaling's a Beast

Prototyping? Cakewalk, shiny demos had us feeling like rockstars. But scaling with killer quality? Bloody hell, so many variables. We've dug through stacks of battery papers, but real talk on how to manufacture? Almost nonexistent. Trade secrets force us to experiment like mad scientists to make every unit flawless.

Marching through the Valley Of Death

Team's Leveling Up

Our interns, Sachin, Chandeep, and Lahiru, were straight-up legends, burning the midnight oil to dial in our setup. We've also brought on new rockstars to the crew, growing our squad with fresh talent who share our passion for tackling the tough stuff. Now, we're hunting for precision-driven hustlers who live for challenges and get sh*t done. Consistency's our obsession, every product's gotta be spot-on.

Isaac, the Norwegian Wizard

Last month, we hosted Isaac from the University of Western Norway of Applied Sciences. This guy's a genius, dropping bombs like, "Coin cells? Easy. Pouch cells? Whole new beast." He rolled up his sleeves, spent weeks in our lab, and helped us crack gnarly problems while working on his own project. Big ups to Professor Dhayalan for sorting this out for us, total game-changer!

What's Next? Big Moves

• Nailing Consistency: We will master production consistency, no excuses.

• Hiring a Battery Guru: We need a hands-on veteran from China for a three-month stint. No slide-decks and consultants, just someone who's battled cell production quirks and knows the ins and outs to get in and work with us.

• Battery-Free IoT for Farmers: We learned supercaps don't just replace batteries, you need clever electrical design to slash costs. Our IoT devices will last 10 years, laugh off Sri Lanka's brutal heat, and cost half the Rs 30,000 market price, aiming lower with each iteration. Why? I'm fed up driving to my Puttalam farm only to find the guy didn't water the crops or spread fertilizer, yelling doesn't cut it. Heartbreaking. Our device sends daily SMS or spreadsheet updates on soil moisture and nutrient levels, so I can call that bugger and say, "Water the damn plants!" It's simple, cheap tech to keep that drives value for my crops.

We're scrappy, we're growing, and we're building a moat out of this "hard" sh*t, like a wise professor once said. Soon, we'll invite you to join this wild ride and push boundaries with us.

Have a super July, talk soon!
