The SOSA story
Our journey, like innovation, isn't linear, but always pushing boundaries.
Learn about our past and future
Learn about our past and future
The SOSA story began in 2014 when partners from top VCs joined forces to launch an innovation hub—an ambitious concept at the time. From the start, SOSA was more than just a physical space. It quickly became the epicenter of the local ecosystem, where global innovators met emerging technologies and top-tier talent. Within these bare cement walls, doors naturally opened and deals were strategically closed. As we observed how open innovation evolved, so did our approach. We realized our role was not just about fostering a community but about creating meaningful business value. We experimented with different methods, learning from each experience to discover what truly drives results. We became hyper-focused on delivering tangible outcomes for our clients: multinational corporations, investors, and governments. Over the years, SOSA has expanded to five continents, with each new office marking a new chapter in our story and advancing innovation worldwide.
New York City: Our first major expansion, now a vibrant hub for global corporations and startups entering the U.S. market.
Frankfurt: A central hub for Europe activities, connecting us with a diverse range of industries and innovators.
Singapore: Home to Hatch, our dedicated space for advancing public safety and security.
São Paulo: Our latest hub, where we’re excited to engage with Brazil's dynamic market and its remarkable people.
Next, we introduced SOSA Solutions, offering on-demand best-fit tech solutions. This is where you get SOSA’s validated technologies with the benefit of fast implementation. Our latest offering, SOSA Ventures, marks an exciting new chapter in our story and for our ecosystem. Drawing on a decade of experience and our unique access to cutting-edge startups, we’re dedicated to co-investing with our partners to build ventures that reshape industries and make a global impact. Today, with a decade of experience and hundreds of clients, our mission hasn't changed: to create partnerships between our clients and emerging technologies. We’ve evolved and are constantly anticipating the fast-paced technological landscape, staying ahead of the curve while remaining steadfast in our mission from the start: getting pragmatic about driving real business impact.
