Lean Launchpad @ University of Cologne
Teams presenting their progress
Great things take time. A year from when I was invited to Stanford to be trained by Steve Blank, we finally made it! This week, I started to teach the Lean Launchpad curriculum at the University of Cologne, more specifically at the recently launched university incubator named “Gateway” – the perfect place for it.

So I’m currently in Singapore, catching up with my entrepreneurial friend and fellow GEAP scholar from Deusto Bilbao, Meri Rosich and visiting her startup Quality Time Lab which connects families over distance.
If you have grandparents living away from your kids or if you are traveling a lot away from your kids, you should really check her apps out.

Startup Weekend Mafia Representing in Kuala Lumpur
So I’m currently in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and I haven’t been here for more than hours before I see this guy in a Startup Weekend t-shirt sitting at the next table across from me. And of course I just have to go over there and ask him about it and introduce myself. Turns out it’s Ahmed Khanji, Startup Weekend Sudan organizer! Felt like we have known each other for years! It’s a small world and the Startup Weekend Mafia is everywhere! This is why I love volunteering for UP Global / Startup Weekend! <3
It’s Ahmed Khanji!
