The 1st week went by so fast. It was definitely an intensive week but it was also fun.
So, since Monday, all the startups started their engines:
> Welcome & assessment
> Learn methodologies
> Tourism & travel industry future and trends
From NOVA School of Bussiness and Economics (SBE), Madeira Startup Retreat received 8 Master Students that worked closely with the startups on the 1st week. The main idea was to identify the teams and startup strong and weak points and provide a strategy with milestones for the 8 weeks.
These students were followed by Teresa Mannebach, Teaching Assistant at NOVA SBE, that presented everyone with a workshop about Business Model.
We welcomed as well 3 mentors:
Rui Quinta, managing partner – With Company – gave a workshop about Design Thinking. A perfect way to also get everyone to meet each other and learn new ideas about the costumer and products.
Filipe Santiago, managing partner – BlueShift – gave a talk about Tourism Trends and presented the Blue Ocean Strategy with a work-session assessment.
Finally, on Wednesday, Constança Casquinho – Professor at NOVA SBE, talked about Problem Solving and worked together with the all the participants.
