Today, we are thrilled to announce the winners of our Global Pitch Competition! 🥇 First Place: ToolsEV (Dublin, Ireland) – Empowering independent mechanics to service electric vehicles, lowering costs, and extending vehicle lifespans. 🥈 Second Place: Closure (Loulé, Portugal) – Creating a holistic, trusted workflow for legacy planning and bereavement support. 🥉 Third Place: Hi Felicia (New York City, USA) – Turning networks into a trusted system for hiring and high-quality referrals.
