ROTSA Team

The challenges startups are facing are different to the ones large corporations go through. To overcome them, collaboration, coordination and an open and cohesiave dialogue among all actors is key.

What brings us together is our drive to overcome these challenges and then take on even bigger ones.
We are a team of dreamers, founders, with successes and failures. And this is our way to give back. Through this process, we want to encourage others to do the same.
