Spherik Accelerator – A Year in Review | 2020
What a ride this year has been. It’s so easy to lose sight of all the growing amid the mundane, this is why we decided to take a look back and remember all the good that happened and what it meant for Spherik and our team. Challenging, as for all of us, 2020 did its best at teaching us to adapt. Being part of the tech ecosystem might have been easier than for others , yet it was different and it felt exhausting at times to adjust so quickly to new ways of doing things. Even so, we did our best to stick to the initial plans and the pandemic did not stop us to pursue our long-planned goals. We launched a new European program focused on the blockchain ecosystem, launched two open calls for startups, had over 350 applications for our acceleration programs, worked with 80+ startups, organised a few online meetups and training sessions and also had some changes in the structure and the management of the organization, with Cristina Juc being appointed as Executive director a few...
