We want to spread an entrepreneurship culture around the world and show that it's possible to build a company right after college or even during a college degree. For us, age, genre, location or professional status aren't obstacles but opportunities to create companies and change the World. There are many ways to change the world and we at Startup Pirates picked entrepreneurship as the way to do it. Our goal is to create one-week startup schools around the world. By making the perfect match between the academic world and the entrepreneurship environment, we want to bring together the latest discoveries done in terms of business models, marketing management, Human resources management and the latest achievements in the technological field. We believe this mix is the secret sauce to make startups successful.
So, join us at Startup Pirates, give us feedback, organize your own startup school, with our help or be an attendee at one of the upcoming events.
3. The Startup Pirate Spirit
Life challenges you every day. You can ignore it or you can jump on board.
We are a group of rebellious and determined young people who believe that
small steps can change the world.
Why are we pirates?
Because being an entrepreneur is an adventure and it doesn't matter if we
travel in turbulent waters.
We believe in transformation. We believe we can revolutionize the rules and
be the change. We can turn the world upside down and conquer the earth
and the seven seas.
4. The Startup Pirate Spirit
We aim to help and foster new ventures that are going to be game-
changers, capable of breaking the rules set in their markets.
This way, we are creating an inspiring and informal environment, together
with a great curricular plan and fantastic experts on the subjects.
We expect to open minds and to provide the tools to come up with, and
to develop some AWESOME ideas.
We want to support irreverence and independence.
We´re pirates after all!
5. Startup Pirates
Startup Pirates is a 7 days event where every people with an
entrepreneur spirit are very welcomed.
It is an program where participants can attend workshops about what
we call the “Survival Toolbox for Entrepreneurs”, such as marketing
management, ideas generation, business model and much more.
During the week, participants will pitch an idea and get the tools to
develop it till the final presentation in front of a fantastic jury panel.
Startup Pirates was developed to take attendees away from their
comfort zone and to make them think outside the box and we want
Startup Pirates to be an incentive to boost entrepreneurship and
creativity.
The program is all about teamwork, critic thought,
learning, creativity and out-of-the-box thinking.
