Can you believe it's already April? It feels like we rang in the new year just yesterday, but here we are, three months later. As we reflect on the first quarter of 2023, each month had its own theme: January was our 8th anniversary, February was all about friendship (V-Day and Dragobete), and in March we honoured the fabulous women in our lives. Let's take a closer look. ⚡️
From Concept to Reality: The Projects We Brought to Life
At Wolfpack Digital, we're on a mission to build powerful, innovative web and mobile apps from start to end. During Q1, we worked on multiple projects, from cutting-edge mobile apps to sleek web platforms:
- EqualityAI — a US-based startup using AI to solve healthcare's toughest problems by reducing the risk of biased outcomes.
- CAPInside — a German investment platform connecting investors and asset managers through machine learning.
- U-Image — a wireless ultrasound platform bringing affordable, accurate medical imaging to African communities and enabling remote collaboration on scans.
- Primary.Health — health diagnosis solutions that protect the US population through large public and private organizations.
- Banqup — an all-in-one accounting platform helping SMEs, freelancers, and self-employed people manage invoices anywhere, anytime.
A Celebration of Us
In January 2023, Wolfpack Digital turned 8 years old. From the first steps of building the foundation to today, the team has shown tenacity and dedication through every challenge and opportunity, and we look forward to new heights while building our path sustainably.
We kept the celebration simple yet beautiful: gathered at the office, enjoyed cake and prosecco, and watched an incredible lights show in our backyard.
The highlight of the night was reading our colleagues' answers to "What pawprints have we already left in the world, and what legacy do we want to create going forward?" Standout responses included changing the world through our work, creating a greener world, designing apps that change lives, and delivering exceptional quality. Here's to leaving a positive mark, one pawprint at a time!
Women's Month 🌸
March holds a special place in our hearts, dedicated to celebrating the incredible women who have shaped our world. At Wolfpack Digital, more than 40% of our team are women — almost 1 in 2 wolves is a wolfette. Women's Day was celebrated with an elaborate wine-tasting event, thoughtful gifts, and an afternoon together.
Our celebration of women continued with our first-ever charity auction, where we bid on each other's old items and handmade creations — all to support women from disadvantaged backgrounds.
A huge shoutout to Lupi and Andreea, who spearheaded this idea. The bidding was intense, the energy was high, and everyone walked away feeling like a winner.
Our Very First Design Meetup
The quarter ended with our meetup: Design & AI: Applications & Implications. Our designers put together an unforgettable evening of creativity, inspiration, and pure fun, diving into big ideas and mind-boggling insights. A huge shoutout to Cristi and Denisa for organizing it.
The Power of Community 🙌
We take every opportunity to be involved and help our community. Q1 had many:
