I was recently invited to teach an introduction course to The Lean Startup and Customer Development at Startup Pirates Maastricht at the University of Maastricht.

Recently I had the honor and pleasure to attend Ash “Running Lean” Maurya‘s talk at the first ever Lean Startup Circle Cologne meetup.
After his talk, Ash and one of the Lean Startup Circle Cologne initiators, Kamil Barbarski, sat down with me for an interview to talk Lean on camera for zoomm.me.

Panel discussing what’s next for the European Plan
I was delighted and honored to be invited recently to Global Entrepreneurship Week Maastricht to attend a panel discussion with Thorsten Jelinek from the World Economic Forum, Saskia Vossenberg a Consultant and Entrepreneur in Gender Studies and
Jo Martens from Startups.be about what’s next for Europe, and especially the role of government and education in supporting the creation of more successful startups and founders.
I argued, as is my pet peeve, for a more scientific (the hard science kind) and experiential approach to economy, government and education where we dare to test more and also radically different things and let the data – not politics – drive the decisions on what to implement and what is working.
To cheers from the audience – and a bit of grief from the World Economic Forum representative when I pointed out that economics is a social science, not a hard science, and that it has possibly done us more harm than good so far.
Recently I had the honor to be invited to share my startup lessons learned and introduce students to The Lean Startup methodologies at the Northern Institute of Technology Management (NIT) in Hamburg.
The Northern Institute of Technology Management is an international business school, located in Hamburg, Germany. It was founded in 1998 as a public-private partnership of the Hamburg University of Technology and sponsoring companies.
Someone wrote a summary of their take of the lecture – so I don’t have to. Also see my previous lecture at the University of Cologne on the subject for more details.

What are your first thoughts that spring to mind when I mention Timisoara, Romania? Birthplace of the 1989 revolution? Chances are that your answer would probably be something like “Huh, where?” and not “a modern tech hub with a nascent startup scene and brilliant infrastructure”.
