The 10th edition of FOUNDAMENTA, the acceleration program for social impact startups by SocialFare, has ended!

Selected through the call FOUNDAMENTA#10, the teams of JoJolly, Freedome, and Aqura/Mosaic have completed the path and presented themselves to the network of investors during a fully online event.

The event was introduced by the panel “IMPACT MAKING. Investing in social impact enterprises: national and international scenarios” moderated by Laura Orestano, CEO of SocialFare, with guests:

• Vincenzo Durante (Head of Employment Area Invitalia)
• Giovanni Ravina (Chief innovation officer of Engie Eps)
• Sertac Yeltekin (Fund Manager of ZingForce, Singapore)

Here is what the presented startups are all about:

• JoJolly [SocialTech] counteracts undeclared work and tax evasion in the restaurant sector – whose peaks of work are particularly subject to periodic fluctuations – through a platform that simplifies the management of “extra” human resources by facilitating and incentivizing the stipulation of regular contracts even in the case of occasional services.
• Freedome [Sustainable Tourism] enhances the Italian naturalistic heritage by aggregating and promoting quality outdoor sports and recreational activities, offering support and market access opportunities to small local operators who work in close contact and in positive synergy with their own territory.
• Aqura [EdTech] has created MOSAIC, a kit of smart objects designed to promote school inclusion for children with disabilities with a focus on Autism Spectrum Disorder, through a proposal that combines in an innovative way technological objects with training methods designed ad hoc.

In the meantime, the analysis of the 186 applications received for the FOUNDAMENTA#11 call is proceeding: in spring the names of the teams selected to access the next edition of the acceleration program will be known.
