JOIN 6 WEEKS INNOVATION CAMP IN BERLIN: APPLY NOW

Palomar5 is a non-profit initiative that brings together 30 of the most inspiring young innovators for an innovation camp. You’ll surely ask yourself: What the f*** is an innovation camp??? Imagine an old factory in Berlin, where 30 international youngsters with big ideas live and work together for 6 weeks. First they will ask what working environments of the future should look like, then they’ll transform their ideas into tangible solutions.

Unlike many conferences and think-tanks, Palomar5 wants to bring together people that don’t just talk about new ideas, but actually want to make them happen. And they will provide you with all the tools you need: a big space, experts, work methods, tools, sessions …

From the many applicants, 30 people will be carefully chosen. There isn’t a right or a wrong profile. From scientists to artists, designers, hackers, entrepreneurs and philosophers, everyone with curiosity, ideas and power to implement them is highly encouraged to apply.

So, if you would like to fly to Berlin and be part of the camp from October 9th to November 24th, if you are willing to bring in all your passion and energy, if think that you have the drive to change our world, APPLY. (http://palomar5.org/get-involved/application/)

Pitch your Startup! No. 5 _ July 19th

Laughing is good for you! And this "Pitch your Startup!" session had most likely the most laughs of all thx to Abdul Karriem Kahn - a very interessting Tech Guru from the valley. If you want to see more of him you should check out his introduction to agile development for non-techies on Startup School.

Also special thx to Stefano Bernadi from thestartup.eu who supported me again as a judge. Keep an eye on his blog in the next weeks. He will be launching a very interessting program for entrepreneurs on Startup School.

The session had three very different but very interessting ideas this time.

First Gordon Oppenheimer pitched his idea of an online directory for teachers and parents called OurStudents.info. A slim and practical tool bringing the PTA online. There is a number of ideas he has to leverage the community for various business models. If you are interessted I recommend to watch his pitch. He is welcoming every kind of feedback.

Juan Juan came second with a wonderful niche product targeting the 4 Million Filipino People in the US.  The site is combining successful practices of social networks, business directories and online news to a compelling site that shall unite the Filipino Community in the US and abroad. Juan certainly a has good experience and a lot of drive for this project. If you are looking for an investment - don't hesitate to get in touch with Juan to find out more.

Jason Katzer had his second debut on Startup School pitching his current venture Eatmylunch.com and Lunch30.com. Two wonderfully helpful pages that make your daily life easier by helping you to find the right place to eat lunch plus letting you order online. If you know restaurants that are interessted in distributing online in the US - eatmylunch is a quick and convenient way to outsource your online checkout system and to get online promotion
