What was really useful for us, was the exchange with the other startups as well as the workshops with the different experts. We got in touch with different startups in the music scene as well as other interesting market places.
Miriam & Maddi from SofaConcerts, OuiShare Award Winner 2014
We’ve been very busy since last year’s OuiShare Awards – and remain incredibly grateful to everyone involved for helping us to propel the Common Libraries initiative to such stratospheric heights in such a short space of time – with big plans for the year ahead!
Annemarie from Common Librairies, OuiShare Award Winner 2014
It was a beautiful experience to be with 4 other teams from across Europe and to work together and see the similitudes in the challenges we face. It is not very often that we have such a quality time to meet people that share the same kind of experience in the building of open organisations for the transition towards the commons.
Etienne from Symba.co, OuiShare Award Winner 2014
The extraordinary connection with the other teams and the quality of feedback exchanged among us was just as valuable as the advice from our professional mentors. The fun and friendship refreshed us after a year of hard work - this is one week we wish we could re-live!
Ann Marie & Stacco from Guerrilla Translation, OuiShare Award Winner 2014
It gave us a perfect context in the different sessions to get to the root of key questions we had about Copass with other entrepreneurs from all different countries, backgrounds and industries. We realised what was most important and what we had to focus on in our project.
