I started to build a Technocake community two years ago; still, I lost a lot of my enthusiasm half a year ago when Group Technocake had no more than 60 members on Facebook. So, I thought that I would quit the group.
However, I remain a fan of Steve Blanc’s movement, and his call to change entrepreneurial culture in every town in the world has inspired me to try to change things where I live. “Business Model Generation discussions in every pub” said Jure Čuhalov, and that I something I strongly endorse. Consequently, I took the initiative when I met the Mayor of Slovenska Bistrica at the end of 2012. I explained my ideas, and the Technocake business model. I was encouraged by his support and decided to develop our Technocake community into an entrepreneurial ecosystem.
We will share a working space with the student club of Slovenska Bistrica, where there will be free access to a Wi-Fi internet connection, a place for meetings, pitches, presentations, and seed-camps. If anybody wants to help us and/or join the club, he or she will be most welcome. We believe that we can change our future with collaboration and cooperation in this new co-working space. We want to create a place where we can develop value propositions, build business models prototypes for unique ideas, help each other to find investors, and, through mutual input and support, be successful.
