Wisefood goes German Accelerator New York City/ Silicon Valley
Both 2019 and 2020 were and still are exciting years for us at Wisefood. Starting with ourcooperation with ALDI via Techfoundersat the end of last year, which has been a great experience for us. We were able to learn a lot and both ALDI and Techfounders gave us advice and support. Our switch to packaging made entirely of paper, for which we have relied a lot on ALDI's support, is progressing steadily despite the current situation and fortunately we can act more and more sustainably. At this point, a big thank you again to our partners in this cool campaign, which we will remember positively for a long time to come!Of course, we are also aware that 2020 is a special year that many startups had imagined and planned very differently. We don't want to let that get us down, but see it all the more as a reason to push our mission forward. Our big goal is to replace one billion plastic straws by 2022 to protect our environment and create a plastic-free planet. With new support, we are well on our way to taking a big step in this direction.True to the motto"never let a good crisis go to waste", we as a company have decided to look ahead positively and are pleased to announce that we are part of thecurrent roundof the German Accelerator New York City and Silicon Valley. A lot of time has passed since the first application, through the pitch, until the start. It's finally starting in October and we can't wait to see what German Accelerator has in store for us in this virtual round. A little background knowledge is of course helpful, so here are a few facts for those who shouldn't be told anything about the German Accelerator program.
