We are thrilled to announce that QTex AI has secured first place at Hackfort 2025! This esteemed event, held annually in Boise, Idaho, brings together the brightest minds in technology and innovation. Our team, led by founder Chris Dagher and myself, Oliver MacDonald, presented our flagship product, PartWise—a conversational search engine designed to help electrical engineers find components 99% faster than traditional methods. PartWise also assists with availability, sourcing, and generating product carts, streamlining the engineering workflow.​

Hackfort has always been a hub for showcasing technological advancements, and this year was no exception. Competing against a plethora of innovative startups, QTex AI's victory underscores the potential and impact of our technology in the engineering industry.​

Our first-place win came with a $4,000 cash prize, which we are investing directly into expanding our marketing efforts and hiring our first employee. This strategic allocation aims to accelerate our growth and enhance PartWise's capabilities.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the organizers of Hackfort 2025 for providing a platform to share our vision. This achievement fuels our commitment to revolutionizing component search and procurement with AI-driven solutions.​
