On January 28th, the Jury nominated three startups from the first round - Eply.be, Enkryptify.com and WeGroup.be - for the final pitching round.

Yesterday, our Jury members cast their final votes.

*drum roll*
And the winner of the first edition of the Jump Start Competition is…

🥇 Eply!

They will receive a full technical audit to validate their architecture, increase velocity, and align product & tech strategy for the next 18–24 months. And tons of insights and tips from our CTOs.

Congratulations also to the runners-up and 3rd place:

  • 🥈 Enkryptify: they win 3 months of CTO coaching—one hour per week with a senior sparring partner for better strategic decisions.
  • 🥉 WeGroup: they will enjoy a private 2-hour session with our CEO to discuss their technical challenges, strategy, and growth plans.
