Fall is the time when everybody re-gets their bearings. If you’re looking to re-energize your teams or maybe rework your company transformation plans, send your team members to the Startup Weekend des Hauts dedicated to the blockchain.54 hours of involvement and joyA Startup Weekend is a 54-hour long serious game where participants are invited to surpass themselves and transform an idea into a minimum viable product (MVP). They have to work on the product (have a demo) and on its marketing and come up with a business plan. It’s what startupers do on a daily basis but condensed into a weekend.In my previous experience as a mentor, I saw people coming out of their comfort zone and trying to surpass themselves in this entrepreneurship game. And it’s always an awesome human adventure.Startup weekend des HautsPENTALOG hosts at Château des Hauts, its headquarters, a unique event: A Startup Weekend on the BlockChain technology, the first in the world!! For those who are not yet familiar with this technology, it’s about a disruptive solution, high traceability, data inviolability and confidentiality. Thus, something that many companies might need.
