Startup Pirates @ Porto 2011 - Event Report We asked all the participants to give us feedback about all the sessions, speakers and activities. We also talked with speakers, mentors and investors about their opinion regarding the event and we also draw our own conclusions based on our work on the event and with our interaction with the participants. So now, we are ready to release the report that summarizes the results of the surveys we did. http://startuppirates.org/porto/2011/09/final-feedback/

1. 2011 Event Report

2. Startup Pirates @ Porto
After a very intense week, Startup Pirates @ Porto is now over.
We tried to come up with a program with different activities, several
moments to share ideas and knowledge and some moments of pure
network. We are really proud of all the teams. They did an incredible job
and in the end they presented very solid and structure projects.
Now it’s time to look back and evaluate all the feedback that we had from
the participants, mentors, speakers and investors.
Let's look at the results...

6. The Attendees
We had an amazing group of Pirates. People from 5 different countries
(Portugal, Argentina, South Africa, Germany and UK) with different
backgrounds (eg: Pharmacy, Architecture, Psychology, History of Arts,
Design, IT or Civil Engineering) between 17 and 41 years old.
They did a wonderful job and the best three ideas were selected to be
pre-incubated at UPTEC, our local incubator.

3. Other comments or suggestions
 “Do more startup pirates in Portugal. Include dinner :)”
 “Keep up the great work :)”
 “Better structuring of group discussions (required a bit more facilitation).
Opportunities to reflect on the process. No pictures and noise during the
"developing the inner leader" sessions, please (some of the exercises imply
great focus, concentration and vulnerability and outside distractions
complicate this)
 “the yoga was challenging, but maybe a bit too much so (e.g.not sufficient
warm-up)! better facilitation of the mentor rounds (to make sure we get to
talk with all of them!)”
 “The conditions of the Yoga session weren't the best and it could have been
a problem if more people wanted to participated. Congratulations for the
work done.”
