The seventh habrakstrecha: report on the Boston Mass Challenge

Habravstrechi continues on Thursdays, and tomorrow we meet again. This time I invited a special guest to our get-togethers - Vladimir Shcherbakov, a start-up director and project director webils.ru . Last week, Volodya returned from the United States, where he participated in the annual Mass Challenge start-up competition as part of a delegation from the Scientific Park of Moscow State University .

Mass Challenge is a global event for startups, held with the active support of the city of Boston and lasts 2 months. According to the results of the competition 1 million dollars is distributed. Projects are very different and not necessarily IT (there is a list of projects). The city has allocated a whole floor of a skyscraper for this business. Statistics - mad. More than 500 jobs have been created, a lot of money has been attracted; many projects are starting to make money.

I have long wanted to start inviting interesting people to us who could tell something really new, share some unique experience. The topic of tomorrow's meeting, as you already understood, will be “Startups in the homeland of startups”. Internet entrepreneurs in America, how investors and projects find each other, experience of presentations and how lawyers work and what it matters in the American Internet business - we'll talk about all this tomorrow.

KDPV: at the last meeting

')
How to get to us : if you have read this post, consider that you are already invited. We meet in the cafe "Mart" on Petrovka, 25. Start at 20 o'clock. As the guests of our meetings become more and more, and at the table at the bar we no longer fit, then tomorrow we are on the sofas in the hall with vaults. UPD I completely forgot: follow the announcements and twitter-broadcast on the hashtag #habraparty .

PS I am aware that many are waiting for a report on the last event - it was really interesting. Sorry for the sloop, but since I don’t want to interfere with the reports with the announcements, the story of the last meeting will be later.

Always yours,
