London’s New School for Creative Startups

How can creative people form sustainable Startups? London’s new School for Creative Startups aims to answer that question for a whole new generation of young entrepreneurs.

I found that universities weren’t doing much in the way of teaching professional development to creatives and they were going out into the world without the training they needed to make a living from what they did,” said Medeia Cohan-Petrolino, Creative Director at the School for Creative Startups. “When Doug Richard convinced me to join the School for Creative Startups I was really excited to develop something that would fill that huge gap in the market.”

Slidecast: Unreasonable at Sea – An Experiment in Transnational Entrepreneurship

By Rich Brueckner | Published January 7, 2013

In this podcast, Luke Jones from Semester at Sea presents: Unreasonable at Sea – An Experiment in Transnational Entrepreneurship.

Unreasonable at Sea is a radical experiment in global entrepreneurship, design-thinking, and education, designed to scale-up effective technological solutions to the greatest challenges of our time. We do this by hedging our bets on the most thrifty, resourceful, creative, and disruptive class amongst us: entrepreneurs. We are a mentor-driven accelerator for tech-entrepreneurs who desire to take their ventures into new international markets, and we choose to work exclusively with companies working on “intractable” social and environmental challenges. We could think of no better way to accelerate our portfolio companies’ ability to scale across borders than to put them all on one ship, align them with some of the world’s greatest mentors, and set sail more than 25,000 nautical miles while visiting 13 countries over the course of 100 days.”

Portland Startup Scene Continues Momentum

By Rich Brueckner | Published July 8, 2012

Over at the design-challenged Oregon Live site, Mike Rogoway writes that Portland’s Startup community is small, but strong.

Portland’s newly minted companies are snapping up software engineers off the street and packing them into offices already bursting with bodies. They’re breaking down walls in the Pearl District to make more room during the day, then sipping drinks and swapping war stories at swanky bars at night.

While the Startup scene in Portland continues to grow, I can only hope that some entrepreneur will someday take out the limping mastodon that is the Oregonian newspaper.
