Let’s Facilitate – Hello Leipzig!

The first SW Leipzig is a WRAP! What a Weekend!

The first SW Leipzig is a WRAP! What a Weekend!

I love to help people discover entrepreneurship and to help spread the word on the methods anybody can use to start their own next big thing. In fact, I love it so much that organizing the Startup Weekend Cologne, being an Instructor at NEXT Cologne and organizing the Hacker News Cologne Meetup isn’t enough. So to do more, I’ve now become a facilitator for the Startup Weekend organization!

So what does that mean? That means that I’m volunteering at least two long weekends a year to be shipped around the world to help moderate and facilitate a Startup Weekend in your city – so contact me or tell SW HQ you want me to rock it with you! I’m looking very much forward to meeting so many new awesome people!

And I’m losing my facilitator virginity this very weekend at the awesome Startup Weekend Leipzig (and if you HURRY there’s a very few tickets still left). So see you in Leipzig or at a Startup Weekend near YOU! :)

On NEXT Cologne Q1 2013

So we brought Startup Weekend NEXT to Cologne as one of the first few cities in the world back in December 2012 and now the second cohort of the program in Cologne recently finished.

Here’s a little update on how that turned out.

Startup Weekend NEXT is an intensive five week educational program to help more startups survive by having the startup teams getting out of the building and into the real world applying customer development and business model generation to help validate their startup idea and find their product-market fit.
