After a successful first startup community year with some very promising projects by end of 2014 we analyze the needs and found some projects we think of and for StartupDorf in 2015. These slides were presented on our 1st meeting in 07. Jan 15 @ "16. Gründerstammtisch" in front of 50 Entrepreneurs, Devs, VCs, Consultants, Movers and Shakers from and around Düsseldorf. We got a lot of feedback and of course some new project ideas.
Ideas are cheap execution is everything. StartupDorf stands for more execution, from entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs.
