Product Development
Achieved
The Solstis team has moved beyond the concept stage. We have been actively designing and prototyping the physical smart supply station — including the housing, internal layout, and guided user experience. This is not just a concept. It is a functional system being built, tested, and improved in the real world. The product combines real supplies with real-time guidance, so users are never left guessing what to do in the moment.

l design of the station, and the integrated workflow. In addition, trademarks have been filed for the Solstis brand name. These filings establish an early claim around the company's ideas and create a strong foundation for the patent strategy as the product evolves.
Ongoing
Solstis has conducted hundreds of discovery conversations with potential users, administrators, and stakeholders across college campuses, hotels, schools, and homes. These conversations have confirmed real demand and shaped the direction of the product. Solstis also competed in the Boston University $50K Hospitality Innovation Competition, reaching the semifinal round — demonstrating that outside evaluators see genuine potential in both the problem and the solution.

Early Funding
Achieved
Solstis has raised early funding that has supported product development, prototyping, and pilot readiness. This funding has helped move Solstis closer to being a testable, deployable product — and has allowed the team to invest in the tools needed to build and refine the system properly. This was real startup funding, not just a student project.
In Progress
Solstis is now putting early versions of the smart supply station into real-world environments to learn how people actually use it. The goal is to test the product outside of theory — tracking what supplies are used most, how people respond to the guided experience, how clear the instructions feel, and where the system can improve. This allows Solstis to gather real usage data, validate demand, and make the product stronger before a broader rollout.
