Last Web Monday and StartupCamp

Yesterday the 12th Web Monday Zurich took place. Starting 6.30pm the LIIP/Nektoon office started filling up with more than 60 Web Monday members enjoying the delicious bagels and enjoying the Amboss beer, white wine and prosecco. Thanks again to LIIP/Nektoon and Andreas Hoffmann/UBS for sponsoring the event!

The presentations showed the great diversity of the Zurich Web Scence: Dorian Selz presented memonic.com, which allows its users to "keep the essential". Andreas Hoffmann presented the outcome of the Web 2.0 Competition run by UBS among the Web Monday Zurich community. He was very pleased that 35 great ideas and concepts have been entered with many ideas for UBS to follow up on. Congrats to the three winners! You can find Andreas' presentation here: http://www.amazee.com/node/257/files
Last but not least Maud Chatelet presented her interesting and useful startup Howtopedia.org, a collaborative platform for practical knowledge and simple technologies that are easily explainable and usable by individuals or small communities for a sustainable and ecological future.

Again it was great fun and I'm pleased to see the community growing with each event. Please contact me if you are interested in presented your startup and/or hosting one of the next events.

I'd also like to announce the StartupCamp here, which will take place on 13 February in Basel. Don't miss it: http://www.amazee.com/startupcamp-switzerland-0

Mick will present a methodology for startups of how to find focus, keep it and execute on it. He'll take some real examples from the audience and demonstrate how to apply the approach. We'll then invite the audience to share stories of focus failure and success through focus, and what their learnings were.
