Entrepreneurship, good deeds and rewards

A while ago I spoke with Boris and Patrick from Fleck about entrepreneurship. Small businesses are the driver of an economy. On one end of the spectrum you have got the masses who for some reason are hesitant to start one, and we have got the serial or even parallel entrepreneurs. (Boris, with http://www.jippie.com/, http://www.preople.com/, http://www.fleck.com/ and hubhop for one is a successful serial entrepreneur).

Although entrepreneurship is high on the agenda of premier Balkenende it is not a course in high or elementary school. Tim draper saw this too and started an initiative called bizzworld (Dutch link) Four weeks ago he was at the university of Eindhoven for an executive lunch, which thanks to SiemensVDO I could attend.

Tim passionately spoke about Bizzworld and entrepreneurship. He even wore wooden shoes for the occasion. After his speech we participated in an reverse auction and are proud to have ONE share in Bizzworld. (this also gave us the change to pitch Souki with Tim, and what do you know next week I’ll be in New York). If you too want to meet up, drop a line: Ernstjan@souki dot com
