Vi tror också att den här typen av intensiv-innovation kan vara oerhört värdefull för nästan vilket företag som helst. Därför vill vi nu hitta företag som kan tänka sig köra en “innovation camp” eller “hack day” internt. Vi anordnar, inspirerar, fixar mentorer, utvecklare och designers (om det behövs) och ni står för idéerna och förändringsviljan. Vi kan lova att det innebär en energikick för ditt företag.

Kontakta oss så berättar vi mer! Maila erik at startupgarage.se eller ring +46704-924681. Vi hörs!

What’s a Startup Weekend? Here I am trying to explain it:

Why learn, share, hack, pitch?

• Learn. When you learn you grow. When you grow, opportunities arise. So – learn much and learn often.
• Share. Sharing your knowledge and your passion is the best way to get feedback and improve. It also helps you gain friends. Plus, it’s a really nice thing to do.
• Hack. Hacking is building. Hacking is testing out new things. Hacking is mashing stuff together. Hacking is remixing. When you hack you invent and you build at the same time. That’s a very good thing for a startup to do.
• Pitch. What you’ve built is useless if you can’t explain the value and sell it. Selling is an art and pitching is the packaging.

Here’s the status so far:

• We will hold a camp and it will be for 2 days, probably over a weekend.
• The camp will most likely be held in April 2010 in Malmö or Lund in the south of Sweden.
• We’re still looking for a good place to be. Any suggestions?
• We’re not planning to have “big names” come and do a speaker session. This is an action-oriented unconference. Not a lean-back, sit-and-listen traditional conference. Basically, we want it to be a mix of 24 Hour Business Camp and Sweden Social Web Camp with a startup focus.

Watch this space for more details.

Update: no startup mini camp this year but two Startup Weekends coming up! Don’t miss it.
