During a recent startup weekend where some entrepreneurs from around Switzerland were brought together for discussions about business models and other challenges, I got to know Bus2Alps. At first sight the company doesn't seem to offer anything special, but at second sight they are operating in an extremely interesting market: bus tours for students. Actually, they are not just operating in this market - they are doing a great job and they love what they do.
I can recommend to every adventurous student out there to have a look at their concept, especially since their Florence-Sorrento tour has just been voted the No. 2 tour worldwide by more than 800'000 hostelworld.com users. They are largely expanding their offer in 2009, making their tours more accessible from other European destinations than Florence and Interlaken.

Things I'm working on
The question some of you asked me very recently and that I want to answer in this second blog post is: What the hell should andipreneurship mean?
Andipreneurship summarizes my professional life. It means to be busy with a variety of things that are all targeted towards to ultimate goal (maybe I'll get back to that in a later post). I'm currently officially busy with my work at Wuala. Then there are also some private, yet somehow business-related projects running besides that at nights and during weekends.
The extracurricular-non-hobby-part of my activities mainly consists of organizing events here and there and meeting people. Some events are summarized under the Synetgies brand. Besides that, I like to occasionally blog about the Swiss Startup scene. Unfortunately I haven't met my goals in terms of substance of my written contributions to the social web yet.
Just to point that out: Andipreneurship will cover professional and less professional topics but I enjoy and I highly value my private life, which is not supposed to become part of this blog.

Hello World
Of course, every blog has to have one completely useless "Hello World" posting. So here's my fourth or so hello world posting. This time, I believe, it's going to be the last for a longer while because the Blog's name describes a period of my life that I hope to last.
