After an intense selection process with 85 applicants for the first round of SoPact we are now proud to present this spring’s SoPact’ers – seven passionate startups ranging in both ideas and backgrounds. A group of people growing ideas that really matter.
Being in the selection process, finding a group that will not only be in it for the long run themselves, but that will also contribute to each other’s growth was important to us and we truly believe that’s what we’ve found here. We are very proud to see these seven ventures onboard and we couldn’t be more excited to get to know them and see their progress and impact the upcoming months.
We’re not going to keep it from you any longer; it’s time to present our beautiful SoPact’ers. Here they are:
