Wolfpack Digital: Q3/2020 wrap-up. A summer to remember

The moon keeps changing quarters, and so do we! It is time for our quarterly howling wrap-up. 2020 has been a challenge for everyone, and at Wolfpack Digital we have been extremely grateful to keep a healthy, constant growth pace even during a pandemic.

Here's a recap of our third quarter of 2020 👇

Announcements and Milestones

The entire pack is over the moon to announce that this summer we earned 3 awards, 1 certification, 28 active projects, and an amazing 40 Under 40 feature of Gina Lupu, the founder & CEO of Wolfpack Digital:

• 1st place in the top 70 Best Web Developers from Romania in July 2020, according to The Manifest.
• #2 in the Top B2B Leaders from Romania in August 2020, according to Clutch.
• #10 in the Top iOS Mobile App Companies in September 2020, according to Mobile App Daily.
• Georgina Lupu, CEO of Wolfpack Digital, listed in the 40 Under 40 mobile app technology leaders report by Mobile App Daily.
• Wolfpack Digital is certified for Innovation Management by IMP³rove.

Trendsetters and Mentors

• StartITup invited Gina Lupu to be part of the mentoring team. 👩‍🏫
• How to Web Startup Spotlight invited Corina Știrbu to mentor the 40 selected startups. 🔦
• Innovation Labs was part of our quarterly journey once again, both as Silver Partners and through mentoring and jurying with Gina Lupu and Corina Știrbu. 🚀
• We love nature, as you know by now (we even have a site for this called Wolfpack Loves Nature). We also supported Clujul Verde as a sponsor and continued our green initiatives. 🌳
• We supported Help Autism this quarter once again. 🎗
• Techsylvania was hosted virtually this year, but we are partners for good no matter what, so we joined the event as Bronze Partner for the 3rd year in a row.
• We organized a hybrid satellite event: Fintech & Ruby on Rails for startupers and Ruby on Rails enthusiasts to network and discuss reactive components (Vue vs. Rails). Our special guest, Edgar de Picciotto, co-founder of Ikigai — a London-based startup revolutionizing banking and investment services — joined virtually to share his journey of building a fintech application.

Wolfpack Digital took all the measures to keep the team and all partners safe during the pandemic. Most work was remote, and people joining us in the office were carefully monitored, with proper distancing, masks, and sanitizers in place.

Have a safe Q4!

Yours,

The Wolves 🐺
