As Jüri announced last week, ArcticStartup.com's ArcticEvening event is coming to Tallinn next Wednesday, Jan 28th, at Von Krahl. In cooperation with OpenCoffee Tallinn and Connect Estonia. As the initially planned 100 seats filled up really quickly, the organizers increased it to 150. And at the time I'm writing this, there are some 28 still left. So sign up now, if you missed from the first batch. I will be there sitting in a panel with Allan and Taneli...
Täna jõudsin lõpuks Tallinna teiselt OpenCoffee'lt ka läbi käia. Kokku oli tulnud meeldivalt eri valdkondade rahvast (nagu kuuldavasti ka esimesel) - tehnolooge, ettevõtjaid, riigiametnikke ja investoreid. Ebaeestaslikult öeldi ka võõrale tere ja kohaloldud aja jooksul vahetati laudu, et uute inimestega juttu ajada. BarCamp Latvia korraldajad olid oma roadshow raames ka Eestist läbi astumas. Suurelt ette võetud, hetkel olla registreerunud 400 inimest ja eeldavad veel paarsada lisaks. Eestist hetkel registreerunud 17. Väiksema ringi vestluste põhjal tundub, et vähemalt ühte Eesti...
Et aidata Jüril inimesi kokku kutsuda: Paluks infot levitada: järjekorras teine tehnoloogiainimeste kokkusaamine OpenCoffee leiab aset sel neljapäeval, 10. jaanuaril 9-11.00, samas kohas kui ennegi: Tallinna Kesklinna Scotland Yardis, Mere pst 6E. Kõik huvilised on oodatud. (vt ka varasemaid OpenCoffee-teemalisi postitusi siin)...
Jüri on tänuväärselt võtnud vedada esimese OpenCoffee korraldamise Tallinnas, mida Saul on juba mõnda aega tagasi tagant utsitanud: Juba sel neljapäeval kell 9.00 hommikul toimub esimene mitte-ametlik tehnoloogiaettevõtjate, -investorite, -arendajate ja -huviliste hommikukohvi vormis kokkusaamine OpenCoffee Tallinn. Ürituse eesmärgiks on omavahel paremini kokku viia tehnoloogiavallas tegutsejad, olgu need siis ideede generaatorid, tänased või tulevased ettevõtjad, tänased või potentsiaalsed investorid. Ise ei ole kahjuks Eestis, aga vähemasti Teller ja Parasiil on siin plaaninud Skype'i poolt ürituselt läbi hüpata. Kevadel käisin Londoni...
Saul & the team have softlaunched Seedcamp and the applications for the first event in London in September is now open. Why? Europe has so far under-delivered in terms of globally successful technology startups. From securing funding to developing the right network, young entrepreneurs in Europe face challenges in building globally competitive technology businesses. Through the provision of seed capital and a world class network of mentors, we want to provide a catalyst for Europe's next generation of entrepreneurs....
Saul published his slides from the NextWeb conference. We had a good lunch with him a few months ago on the philosophical topic of supporting the seeding European ventures (and OpenCoffee as one of the tools for that). I would have loved to hear him on stage of course, but still the deck provides some pointers for further thought or at least some reassurance against the skeptics out there thinking that there is no chance for tech success outside the...
I attended today's OpenCoffeeClub event, the one in London. It is a loose framework of entrepreneurial meetup events that Saul Klein recently kicked off, as part of his recent broader initiatives to encourage interaction between and raise the confidence of European entrepreneurs. The 90 minutes I was able to spend at the event included a grande latte and a series of quite interesting talks with several people. As I was wearing a Skype t-shirt, most of the contacts evolved around...
