Anything Goes Lab Two Week Program is up and running and going great! The program is based on my "How to Build Your Startup From the Heart workshop (watch a video of a recent one here.) Over 40 people are participating in the program which combines two weeks of co-working space with a program that helps individuals build their companies from the heart, and create company teams that I call "co-flows." (More on that in later posts.)
Note: The teams on each board are individuals. They are all working on different things, different companies. If multiple people from the same company came to the program, we put them on separate teams. The teams are designed to help each other, not to work on one invention together.
This photo shows folks in co-working mode, but also shows the "storyboard" for each team. Importantly, we also see the Pizza from Oggi Gourmet being unloaded from the dolly. Microsoft bought dinner for the team tonight. Thanks Microsoft! (Abby Fitchner is also participating in the program, and lending her expertise from her days in Agile development.)
The last two days have been amazing, actually. We've created five teams, each with a storyboard like the one here. They are bonding around understanding each other's intentions, inventions, and beliefs. The inventions are incredibly varied.... from GSM base stations to social networking tools, to stylish high heels that instantly convert into walkable low heels.
