Bashiba: Where Technology Meets Art

Remo Uherek — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 12:26:26 +0000

Here is the Google Tech Talk of my Venture Leaders roommate Roberto Vitalini of Bashiba. He’s working on a quite interesting approach combining technology, 3D animation, business, art and philosophy.

Congrats to Doodle and Exsila!

Venture Leaders 2008

Remo Uherek — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 16:16:03 +0000

(Swiss National Startup Team)

(My roommate Roberto from Bashiba)

(4 day Entrepreneurship Executive course at Babson College)

(Case Study Starbucks vs. Dunkin Donuts: Coffee at Dunkin stays warm for 2 hours; Coffee at Starbucks only 15-30 min. Learning: An apparantly tiny thing such as a different cup material can have huge implications. The coffee doesn’t matter, its the cup!)

(Jessica Livingston – Author of the fantastic book ‘Founders at Work‘ – her next book will be published next year. And oh btw: I did get my copy signed ;-)

(At Y Combinator – one of the most famous startup incubators in the US)

(Very cool Airport Vending Machine at Logan Airport. There was a Sony-Machine and an Apple-Machine for iPods and Stuff. I almost bought a Sony Noise Cancelling Headphones for $199 but then backed off as I’m planning to buy Bose Headphones ;-)

The trip was very inspiring. If you are a Swiss Startup I highly recommend to apply for this unique opportunity next year.

Congrats Flavio!

PS: He did a video with Dominik, too, talking about Qik (which seems to be quite cool, but still has some performance issues).

Great News: Ecato partners with Shopping.com

Remo Uherek — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 09:00:05 +0000

I love it when I can share good news concerning my friends. Today’s good news is that Ecato partners with Shopping.com. CBS told me about the negatiations about 6 months ago and I’m very happy that they closed the deal successfully. This will bring Ecato to the next level and maybe even opens an exit-door for the future ;-).

Congrats to CBS and Andi! I’m very happy for you!
