START Summit 2009

I'm happy to see that many people are announcing the START Summit 2009. It's to be interpreted as a reward for the hard work, the START St. Gallen team has dedicated to the event. The team has done a great job with putting together an interesting program with great speakers, such as Henri B. Meier, Christoph Blocher, Nick Beglinger, Nicolas Berg, etc. A new achievement is the first time START Innovation & Sustainability Award, which will be given to a startup that is pre-selected by Synetgies (Camille, Renato, Tiziano and me) and that manages to convince the top tier jury with members from various fields. The award is hosted by Ernst & Young and startups.ch.

Registration for the START Summit is now open.

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.
