Talk:Netguru

Hello,

Please changes the informations as those on the website are outdated:

1. General Descriptions: a. In 2021, Netguru reached zł230 million (US$57.2) income. b. In 2020, Netguru obtained B Corporation™ certification granted to organizations whose previous business activities have been verified in terms of their positive impact on society and the environment. The company joined the community of over 3,200 companies worldwide that have committed to developing a sustainable economic model.
2. International Expansion: In 2022, as a part of their One-Stop-Shop Strategy, Netguru made two major investments. In March 2022, they invested in Pilot44, the San Francisco-headquartered corporate innovation studio. This was the company’s first investment into an American-owned and operated company, leading to a new, end-to-end innovation consulting model.
3. Other Initiative: In 2018, Netguru organized a Disruption Forum in Berlin, where experts and the community discussed the future of the fintech industry. Since then, the Disruption Forum has been organized twice in New York, once in Paris, once in London, and during the pandemic, it was conducted in the form of an online meeting.

1. In 2022, Netguru created an initiative called Hidden Heroes to pay tribute to the pioneers who laid the groundwork for tech that has been vital for the modern world. Their inventions keep the world running, but their stories are unknown. Hidden Heroes reveals surprising connections between great human stories and technologies and ideas that are currently popular public phenomena. The stories are written by Steven Johnson – the American science and technology author, television host, and TED speaker.
2. Awards and Accolades: Netguru was also nominated twice for AWWWARDS – in 2018 for their Mobile Reports and in 2020 for their Homepage. In 2021, Netguru was recognized as a Great Place to Work and one of the 10 Best Places to Work.

@Agnieszka Kukla: Replies to specific requests:

1. General Descriptions: a. In 2021, Netguru reached zł230 million (US$57.2) income. b. In 2020, Netguru obtained B Corporation™ certification granted to organizations whose previous business activities have been verified in terms of their positive impact on society and the environment. The company joined the community of over 3,200 companies worldwide that have committed to developing a sustainable economic model.

   a.  Not done We'll need an independent source for that.

   b.  Not done yet. Instead, I propose the following wording:

   In 2020, Netguru obtained B Corporation certification.^[1] The link to the B Corporation wikipedia page is sufficient to explain what this means without adding promotional language about Netguru.

2. International Expansion: In 2022, as a part of their One-Stop-Shop Strategy, Netguru made two major investments. In March 2022, they invested in Pilot44, the San Francisco-headquartered corporate innovation studio. This was the company’s first investment into an American-owned and operated company, leading to a new, end-to-end innovation consulting model.

    Not done yet. I propose the following wording:

   In 2022, Netguru invested in Pilot44, a San Francisco-headquartered media company.^[2] This was the company’s first investment into an American-owned and operated company. This version removes references to the "One-Stop-Shop Strategy", which is decidedly marketing-speak, as well as the note about "a new, end-to-end innovation consulting model" which is just more marketing-speak.

3. Other Initiative: In 2018, Netguru organized a Disruption Forum in Berlin, where experts and the community discussed the future of the fintech industry. Since then, the Disruption Forum has been organized twice in New York, once in Paris, once in London, and during the pandemic, it was conducted in the form of an online meeting.

    Not done This also needs an independent source. (Yes, we can take Netguru's word for it that these meetings happened. But we need an independent source to verify that this is, in fact, a notable event worthy of mentioning in the article, and not just more marketing.)

4. In 2022, Netguru created an initiative called Hidden Heroes to pay tribute to the pioneers who laid the groundwork for tech that has been vital for the modern world. Their inventions keep the world running, but their stories are unknown. Hidden Heroes reveals surprising connections between great human stories and technologies and ideas that are currently popular public phenomena. The stories are written by Steven Johnson – the American science and technology author, television host, and TED speaker.

    Not done I propose:

   In 2022, Netguru created an initiative called "Hidden Heroes", a series of stories to pay tribute to the pioneers who laid the groundwork for technology that has been vital for the modern world.^[3] The stories are written by Steven Johnson.^[3] This version again pares the excessive promotional text to leave the facts without adornment.

5. Awards and Accolades: Netguru was also nominated twice for AWWWARDS – in 2018 for their Mobile Reports and in 2020 for their Homepage. In 2021, Netguru was recognized as a Great Place to Work and one of the 10 Best Places to Work.

    Not done Such awards are generally handed out like candy, and serve only to allow a company to pat itself on the back. They really don't have a place in Wikipedia articles.

Hi Dan,

Could you please changed it as recommend? Thank you very much.

One thing - there is an information regarding Disruption Forum in Berlin - since then Netguru organized several Disruption Forums: Paris, London and twice in New York. Would you be able to mention it?

Thanks! Agnieszka Kukla (talk) 20:32, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
