Tags: ‘Entrepreneurship’

Read our posts about entrepreneurship and the road to building a company. GoKid started with a simple idea, and since then we’ve been on a journey to developing that idea into a fully functioning product that is in use around the world.

We blog here about entrepreneurship and what it means to us – learning to work with other startups, learning how to pitch to investors, learning to put users first, and much more.

We also blog here about other entrepreneurs and startups we admire and think are doing great things. Starting a company can be a lot of hard work but it pays off in the end when you see your product helping others.

7 takeaways from 2Xin Tech

Yesterday I attended a six-hour long conference on tech and entrepreneurship that was different from any I had been to before. Instead of the usual 90% male 10% female ratio, the floor of the 2Xin Tech conference was filled with women. There were too many to count, but it looked like more than 200 female […] Read more

BlaBlaCar, a simple plan for using excess capacity

A couple of weeks ago I attended a great MeetUp at NYU Stern.

Despite the success of this company internationally, I am guessing you have never heard of BlaBlaCar, a company based in […] Read more
