Being recognized in a competition backed by some of Europe’s strongest innovation partners is a powerful validation of our technology and our mission.

^{🙏 A Heartfelt Thank You to Alpha Bank & All Supporting Partners}

FinQuest is powered by an incredible ecosystem, and we want to give a special thank you to all the organizations supporting this competition:

Big Pi Ventures, Endeavor, EY, EPAM, Found.ation, IBM, Metavallon, Microsoft & Microsoft for Startups, UniCredit, Uni.Fund, and the Athens University of Economics & Business (AUEB).

Your guidance, mentorship, and support played a major role in shaping the experience — we truly appreciate every conversation and every insight.

^{🧩 The Big Bottleneck We Solve for Large Organizations}‍

Across global enterprises, one major operational bottleneck keeps coming up:

How do you roll out consistent, high-quality training and performance checks across large sales and support teams — without relying on slow, costly live coaching?

Dry Runz eliminates this pain point.

With our AI role-play simulations, organizations can:

• Deploy improvement and quality-check programs instantly
• Ensure consistent, repeatable training across thousands
• Measure communication skills objectively
• Reduce coaching and travel time
• Increase performance and customer-facing excellence
  

This is one of the biggest unmet needs in modern enterprises — and we’re solving it at scale.

^{🎤 What We Presented at FinQuest}

At FinQuest, we demonstrated our core innovation:

Realistic, audio-to-audio AI actors that behave like real customers, paired with instant, structured feedback — and the ability to create new simulations in under five minutes with zero prompting skills required.

This turns training from a resource drain into a scalable, measurable, high-impact experience.

^{🌱 Built Differently — Bootstrapped & Founder-Led}

Dry Runz was founded by Yariv Erel, co-founder and former CEO of JustAd (acquired by Glispa).

We are 100% bootstrapped, focused on product, customers, and meaningful outcomes — not hype.

This award reflects the strength of that approach.

^{🌍 Looking Ahead}

We’re already live and helping organizations elevate performance, communication quality, and team consistency.

FinQuest gives us momentum — and we’re excited for everything coming next.
