RESY, a startup member of UCAL Innovation Hub, had a very valuable experience participating in this immersion program. The team gained new perspectives for their product design, new alternatives for tech solutions and business model.

During the immersion, it became clear the relevance of data and the importance of identifying key metrics. With this insight, we have started to implement A/B testing and to define key performance indicators for our initiatives. This will be very useful when developing our own virtual assistants platform.
