We said before and even mentioned it in our Manifesto - "We are good at doing web and we do web for good. We love to embrace new challenges, to solve the unknown and we are always looking for opportunities to inspire and get inspired."
February was a month full of inspiration and experimentation.
We were invited by the Social Challenges Innovation Platform to attend the #SoCamp2 event that took place in Brussels, Belgium from 5 to 6 of February.
We got the chance to meet social entrepreneurs from different European countries and to learn about impact measurement, and impact investment and also how to pitch to investors. On the second day, as part of the activities for the second day, we went to the European Industry Days to meet with potential investors and pitch our product. It was a great adventure and we left Brussels filled with hope for a better world.
While part of our team was freezing in Belgium, our developers at home (Sunny Portugal) were experimenting with new technologies. After over a year working with React, our Luis took the first steps with React Native. Using common technologies we already were familiar with, to create simple applications for mobile devices was a fun experiment. We look forward to applying these skills and develop them further in the next real-world project.
