“SOA is an absolute highlight in the startup world. As an exhibitor, I got into conversation with a wide variety of people and was able to network in a consistently pleasant atmosphere. In addition to inspiring conversations, I have also gained valuable collaborations and contacts, whom I still highly appreciate today. Winning Founders Fight Night in front of such a large audience was a special moment — a success that gave me additional visibility and reach. ”
