Hi everyone,
It’s hard to believe that it is already the 3rd festive season here at Millo!
Christmas will always be a special time for us because, back in 2016, right at the end of the year, we have received our the very first investment from three business angels.
These people took the highest risk putting their family money into a team of two and a prototype fixed in an aluminium pipe. I would like to take this opportunity and say a massive thank you to Mr Vladas, Mr Vigantas and Mr Domas – without your help we would have never made it.
During the last month, we have made all the necessary adjustments to the product to be produced with our local partners. During this process, some additional product improvements were made. At the moment, we are specifying commercial offers from all the suppliers and signing long-term contracts. Overall, we are on a steady course to start manufacturing as planned at the beginning of 2019 Q2.
As a team, we are constantly growing – two new members have joined us recently. Please meet Rolandas, our new software lead engineer. For the past ten years, before joining Millo, Rolandas has been working on medicine dosage pumps – highly precise medical machines for hospitals. In his last venture, he was engineering fuel injection solutions in Nanosatellite propulsion systems – a truly cosmic experience.
We are also super excited to have Aivaras onboard as a Chief Commercial Officer. He was one of the top executive team members who grew the Deeper company into a well-known international player. Deeper is a tiny fish-finding sonar that can turn any amateur fisherman into a pro within a few minutes. By the way, it is a perfect man’s gift for this Christmas!
We hope that you are having a great time in preparation for Christmas.
Together with Aivaras, we have made a special Xmas smoothie for you - check it out!
Healthy Mint Chocolate Smoothie:
- 1 banana
- 5-7 almond nuts
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- fresh peppermint leaves
- cinnamon- some ice
Lots of love!
Millo Team
