startsocial website and competition platform

The startsocial initiative, under the patronage of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and supported by Allianz, Amazon, Deutsche Bank, SAB, ProSiebenSat.1, and McKinsey, supports social projects by providing free consulting from business experts who volunteer as coaches or jury members. The aim is to sustainably strengthen volunteer engagement through knowledge transfer, networking, and recognition, thereby increasing the societal impact of the projects. To achieve this, a complex annual competition is held, consisting of several phases including jury evaluation, coaching, editing, and awards. A digital application was to be developed to support this competition.
