<aside> 👋🏻 Wouter here!
It’s been a hot minute since I wrote our first Lanced Journal and a lot has happened since then. So I will not waste another minute of your time and dive straight into what we’ve been up to over the last couple of months.

For the past 3 months, Lanced has been part of the CultTech Accelerator. The program included weekly workshops, pitch practices, community meetups, and open office hours with experts from the Tech & Culture sectors.
We had the pleasure to be mentored by Shiraz Mahfoudhi. Shiraz is currently the Chief of Staff at Hotjar and previously worked for Malt and was a VC at Speedinvest. Together with Shiraz, we took a deep dive into the business foundations of Lanced. I cannot thank her enough for all of her support, advice, and work 🙏🏼.
On June 2nd, I took the stage to pitch Lanced during the Demo Day of the Accelerator. Both Stavya and I traveled to Vienna, Austria where we also joined multiple events of Vienna Up ‘23.
The Pitch includes a short demo of our (current) product. If you’re curious to see the pitch, you can watch it below👇 !

Besides working on the business fundamentals of Lanced, we have not stopped working on our product. On June 12th, we will be launching the Dali Update of our platform. Yes… we are naming each product update after an internationally acclaimed artist 🤓.
The Dali Update is mainly intended for the artists on Lanced. With this update, we have focused on creating a more web-app-like experience for artists.
This is what the Dali Update includes:
We focused on upgrading the artist web app because we wanted to provide them with more incentives to continue using Lanced after they found work. We do this by creating a place where they can showcase their work and portfolios.
