After the victory, the startup raised 25 million dollars in capital, entered the US market, and currently serves over 1 million patients worldwide.The second-place project, FluroSat, also achieved great success. After participating in the competition, the startup attracted investment from Microsoft and later became part of Regrow Agriculture. Currently, the company has raised over 60 million dollars, with giants such as Microsoft, Airtree, and Cargill among its partners.

At the event to be held on August 19 of this year in partnership with Stripe, the 8 best selected startups will present their projects. The jury will consist of prestigious investors, international media representatives, and technology experts. The following prizes are provided for participants:- Startups in the top three will receive commission benefits of up to 15,000 dollars for payments processed through the Stripe system;
- The main winner will receive a direct ticket to the Startup Battlefield 200 list at the prestigious TechCrunch Disrupt conference held in San Francisco in October;
