I just finished a “startup-experience” weekend in Denmark. Together with a team of other students we had to be innovative, trying to solve some educational problems by innovating new solutions. The process was very educational. Very simply put, we started from the beginning, how to define a problem we would like to work on. Then we went through the whole process, covering everything from how to define a problem, to eventually create a business model, that considered financing, distribution channels, basically the whole aspect of launching a new product.

Eventually, after two very intense (but very educational) days, we ended up with a solution to a problem. We had to do a “Pitch”, which was a huge challenge, but also really fun to try.

In the end, I had a great weekend, got into contact with some really cool people, and of course I learned much about entrepreneurship. I also learned that the idea is not enough by itself, the motivational drive is a key factor of success. I would recommend this program for anyone who has the slightest interest in entrepreneurship, or if you are just out to meet some inspiring people!

All the best for everyone who attended this weekend, I had a great time. Marco
