Thanks for giving me and Awais some time the other night at the CPUG meeting to speak about this and The Hub. I'm really looking forward to ongoing collaboration between E29/The Hub and CPUG.* The Startup Catalyst Youth Mission application deadline is this Sunday (17th of September). This is an opportunity for a fully funded, 10-day mission to San Francisco and Silicon Valley from the 29th Oct to 10th Nov this year. Ideal candidates have these attributes: - Are between 18 and 29 years of age - They have domain expertise (the ability to create things) [This can be anything from software skills to agriculture to design] - Leadership potential - They are startup curious (but there is no requirement to have started a business) - They have a #givefirst approach to life I have checked in with Aaron Birkby (Startup Catalyst CEO) and we only have 1 application from the ACT so far. The ACT has some amazing talent and a single application definitely doesn't reflect the depth of our talent pool. As a Startup Catalyst Alumni, I can say that this mission is truly a life-changing experience for participants. I wouldn't have applied to become E29's CEO without it. Please share this with your networks. P.S. I have also just been confirmed to take over from Colin Kinner as one of 2 Mission leaders on the ground. *For some tips on how to write an application, a friend of mine has written this up to help: https://medium.com/juniordev/3-tips-for-startup-catalysts-future-founders-application-b7579f717e18 * -- Tom Robinson CEO Mob: +61 405 810 144 <0405%20810%20144> Web: http://entry29.org.au/ Coffee: Long Black *E29 Locations:* (1) E29 at CIVIC (https://goo.gl/maps/GGSzZPkQGok ) (2) E29 at UC (https://goo.gl/maps/DHz17nGEYWJ2 ) (3) The Renewables Innovation Hub (https://goo.gl/maps/Cp2dyCQLELB2 ) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
