Announce
S.Lab recently won the IT Arena 2023 Startup competition and secured seed investment from ZAS Ventures. Moreover, the product itself is astonishing: it offers hemp-based packaging for nearly anything. S-Lab's goal is to replace plastics with biodegradable packaging made out of hemp and mycelium. You can join us live or listen to a recording later. Feel free to leave your comments before the stream, and we will answer them during the live session.

Intro: plastics are bad (photos of an orange in plastic bag)... Script:
- What was the story behind? What are your entrepreneurship story?
- At what time of the process you decided to focus on packaging?
- Why packaging and not “plastic bags” — plastic bags are not the first problem with plastics (and quite easy to avoid)
- Are the biodegradable packages bad for logistics? So iPhone should be sold in 30 days after manufacturing, not years? Does this limits you?
- Please tell me story about your first paying customer?
- That you’re from Kyiv is helping or not? I mean in EU there are billions invested into recycling already and these factories should work, while in UA there almost no recycling and it could be easier just to stop using plastic? (Like 5G in India — they had no 2G, 3G and got straight into new tech withou legacy tech that business still need to get money from.)
- How your (manu)facturing looks like now?
- In the last year youv have paricipated in every event in Kyiv, Ukraine (IT Arena) and I think in EU too, how you as a CEO are overcoming this? How you life changed in the last year?
- What is TAM for a market you're targeting?
- What is your vision with S.Lab? What you're trying to achieve?
- After packaging where you want to go?
- What is your biggest win, what you did and you’re proud of? • What is your biggest obstacle?
