When everything is possible
Here is a little story I want to share:
I went last weekend (Nov. 21 – 23) to Startup Weekend Hamilton; More info in links below:
http://www.globalstartupbattle.co/
To be honest, I’ve never heard about it before. However, I’m trying to network as much as I can, so I went. I got scared a little when I realized it was “makers edition” and mostly about machines, electronics, etc. Almost gave up when I saw there was no women! But I stayed, teamed up with four great guys and over a weekend we’ve built a startup company and our product – social app! And we won! Even more, we won makers edition with a product that is virtual not a machine 😀 And I was the only woman who finished the challenge. We are the winners for Hamilton!
We are building a social platform “where real connections happen and spontaneous adventures begin”. A place where you can find same minded people and do things together. Our goal is to encourage people to get out. To use computer as a tool for socializing, instead of being your whole social network. To motivate people to real connections in real world in real time 🙂
The next step of the competition is qualification to regional level. We’ve created and submitted promotional video. Now we need to find as many supporters that would vote for us as possible. I’m here to encourage you to vote J

However, I hope that my story doesn’t end here. Because Global Startup Battle, as amazing as it is, it just a first step to possibly the most amazing adventure of my life! We are at this point when everything is possible! Have you been there? How did your adventure turn out?
Please share!
