Mind the Bridge - another milestone

Here's my new post about the Mind The Bridge initiative. As you know...Blucape is one of the six finalists and I will give you more and more details during time. Here's the Marco Marinucci's post published on the very interesting Silicon Valley Study Tour network. It says more about the people behind this initiative's first edition (Organizing committee & Selection committee). Really impressive! Marco also sums up the next steps.
Here's a video about the announcement of finalists

A wonderful travel in Puglia

Padre Pio invites me to fly higher

Sure a man can fly if The Lord blows in his wings...!

I spent two amazing days in a wonderful land making new interesting friends.

Here we are!
Someone could think we are strange
...maybe
Someone could think we are crazy
...yeah...a little bit
Someone else could think we are joking

DEFINITELY NOT! ;-)

Blucape is a Mind the Bridge Competition finalist!

First of all I do congratulation to all the people behind this great opportunity for italian minds. You know...big initiatives require big resources and efforts. So very thanks to all of you, from Marco Marinucci (idea's creator) to all the involved people and organizations.


Mind The Bridge goal can be summed up in the attempt to help italian talents to tear down all the italian entrepreneur ecosystem walls (we are not talking only about the lack of high quality VCs!)
If you spend sometime looking to all the involved people you can understand two important statements:
1) italians in Silicon Valley are more and more able of having big impact on those left in Italy because they are very estimated for their achievements
2) americans know great ideas can come from Italy
Here's an interesting reportage about Silicon Valley, Mind The Bridge and italian best business ideas established there
