Project Highlights
A few of the projects we shipped, evolved, and added to our website this quarter:
3D2Cut — Android release
Following its Web Excellence Award win in the Apps & Mobile (Education) category, 3D2Cut expanded its reach this quarter with the release of its Android app. Built by Wolfpack Digital, 3D2Cut is an AI-powered mobile app that helps vineyard workers learn and practice vine pruning through guided courses, interactive simulations, and immediate feedback. The Android release brings the same training experience to a much wider base of vineyard teams.
Silo monitoring platform for LVLogics
We partnered with LVLogics to develop a web platform that turns IoT sensor data into clear, actionable insights for industrial and agricultural teams. It connects to silo sensors, visualises fill levels and consumption trends, and uses predictive calculations to help teams anticipate material runout before it becomes a problem — with alerts, configurable parameters, and historical analysis for smarter planning and reduced downtime.
Lizzy AI — AI-powered interview screening platform
We also added Lizzy AI to our portfolio, a web-based interview screening platform where candidates complete first-round interviews through an AI-powered 3D avatar. The solution combines real-time AI interviews, visual interaction, and structured evaluation, letting recruiters review candidates faster with live transcripts and consistent screening across roles.
Behind-the-Pack Peeks
11 Years of Wolfpack Digital
On January 19, the pack marked 11 years since Georgina Lupu Florian founded Wolfpack Digital in Cluj. We gathered for a brunch to celebrate — 11 being a number that reminds us of competitiveness and performance, but also of partnership and teamwork.
Delivery Day
Q1 also gave us a chance to celebrate our Product team — the wolves who turn strategy into reality and make sure every project lands exactly where it needs to.
International Women's Day at Wolfpack
For International Women's Day, the she-wolves came together for a makeup workshop with makeup artist Flavia Silaghi, walking through beauty hacks and product recommendations for every skin type. Add good food, relaxed conversations, and plenty of laughs, and it was a lovely way to celebrate the women of the pack.
Wolfpack Digital also marked March 8 with "She's not too much. She's wild.", a campaign reclaiming the word wild as a compliment rather than a warning.
Welcoming Oana Mărcuș to the den
We welcomed Oana Mărcuș — psychologist, Imago couples therapist, speaker, and PhD in psychology with 14+ years of experience — for a session on emotional well-being at work. The conversation explored how the rapid evolution of AI is changing how we work and the stress that can come with it. Building great tech also means taking care of the humans behind it.
Community Involvement
Georgina Lupu Florian at TEDxCluj
Our co-CEO Georgina Lupu Florian took the TEDxCluj stage with a 14-minute talk titled "RE/Framing Technology", a conversation about making sure AI serves people, not the other way around. She explored three pillars of conscious leadership in an AI-powered world: an antifragile mindset that turns failure into fuel, pursuing truth beyond opinions, and taking responsibility for the impact we create.
Innovation Labs: from IdeaJam to the Bucharest finals
The pack showed up at every stage of Innovation Labs. On March 5, Victor Motogna, Head of Web Development, was a juror at Innovation Labs IdeaJam Cluj, where 25 student teams pitched. On March 7–8, Victor returned to the Innovation Labs AI Hackathon as mentor and judge. A few weeks later, Cristian Vîrciu, Head of Product Design, and Răzvan Ciuban, Product Designer, helped evaluate 120+ teams, 41 of which made it into the mentoring program.
GDGoCode Hackathon — Bronze Sponsor
Wolfpack Digital was a Bronze Sponsor of the GDGoCode 2026 Hackathon, powered by the Google Developer Group on Campus at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. Victor Motogna presented on UX/UI prototyping and mentored teams, while Andi Nicolescu, our CTO, judged the final projects.
Launching the Tech Leadership Circle by Wolfpack Digital
This quarter, Wolfpack Digital launched the Tech Leadership Circle, a new open community for tech and product leaders navigating real leadership challenges inside growing organisations. The first event, "The New Leadership Playbook: Growth, AI & Ambiguity," was hosted at our Events Space in Cluj-Napoca by Victor Motogna, focusing on making decisions when the path isn't obvious, integrating AI responsibly, and guiding teams through change.
Hosting "Breakfast & Insights" in Dublin
In Dublin, the pack hosted a new edition of Breakfast & Insights around one big topic: how to build products investors say yes to. Panellists included Sinead Byrne, Majella Murphy, Ronan McGrane, Ultan Sharkey, and our co-CEO Adrian Florian, moderated by Valentin Trif, with Gabriel Olariu welcoming everyone.
Techpreneurs Dublin — founder panel on MVP building
Adrian Florian, Co-CEO at Wolfpack Digital, joined a founder-focused Techpreneurs Dublin panel on what MVP building really looks like today — the reality behind no-code and AI-assisted tools, and where "shipping fast" gets mistaken for validation. Adrian was joined by Jamie A. Fitzgerald and Padraic Kinsella, moderated by Diarmuid Ó Muirgheasa.
Anca Hangea on the "Kids or Career?" panel at Hacking Work
On February 18, Anca Hangea, Product Manager at Wolfpack Digital, joined the "Kids or Career?" panel at the Hacking Work Conferences in Cluj. At Wolfpack Digital, we believe you shouldn't have to choose between being a great parent and doing great work.
Vica Cotoarba at Claim AI Lisbon
On February 25–26, Vica Cotoarba, Head of Mobile, attended Claim AI 2026 in Lisbon, a conference on the future of marketplaces. One insight stood out: 51% of web traffic in 2025 was bots, and by 2028 most site visitors may not be human. When the customer evolves, the product strategy needs to keep pace.
Supporting Give(a)Go in Dublin
Wolfpack Digital deepened its support of Give(a)Go, a Dublin-based tech community built around learning by building. In Q1, we supported their Women Who Build event on March 14 and the Give(a)Go Builder Day, focused on browser-based agents and web-as-interface automation, with builders travelling from across Ireland.
Gina, on stage and on air
It was a packed quarter for Georgina Lupu Florian on the speaking circuit. She spoke at Women in Tech Cluj on "Highly Sensitive Woman Leaders," joined the Leadership Summit Cluj, gave a talk at Daring Tuesday #1, and joined the "Ask Me Anything" panel at Go Green by Civitas. On the interview side, she joined the Evolution Exchange Nordics Podcast for a panel on women in tech, and was interviewed by TVR on being named Diversity Role Model at the Global Startup Awards.
