2. reacting to what’s happening NOW

managed
5. not dependent on large project schemas or organizations
6. not just educating people, but also creating new connections

manage the platform
- we bring various inspirations &
content for their activities - as
an offer

help the developer &
entrepreneurial ecosystem be
active, create great apps and
technology powered enterprises
