Pontis znamená „most“. Naša práca je založená na spájaní. Seth Godin označuje ľudí, ktorí prepájajú, inovujú a menia, rozbiehajú veci a dodávajú energiu „linchpini“ (osky, okolo ktorých sa točia ostatné kolieska). Ako spolupracovníkov si vyberáme linchpinov.

We conducted research targeting both corporate and individual giving allocated to education. Lack of qualified graduates represents the greatest challenge for leading IT corporations in Slovakia.
We carried out with Accenture and Aptech Europe IT education for unemployed
Carried out Kia Innovation Award
We are a part of A Dost (Enough Campaign)
Po ukončení kurzu Profesionálny tester softvérových aplikácií môžem konštatovať, že to bolo jedno z najlepších rozhodnutí, aké som mohla urobiť. Pri nástupe na kurz aj počas neho som nepočítala s možnosťou, že sa budem reálne uchádzať o pracovné miesta v oblasti softvérového testingu. Ako však kurz pokračoval a najmä po absolvovaní stáže ma stále viac priťahovala možnosť práce v IT. Po absolvovaní kurzu som si poslala žiadosti na pozície testerky a ... dnes mám dream job 
