These series of guest posts are written by the teams attending the Tetuan Valley Startup School 2010 Fall edition. This post is from the Labscope team, formed by José Ignacio Galarza, Carlos Hernando y José Antonio Leiva
The fact we hold in our daily life is far from the entrepreneurial way that some of us would like to experiment in our careers. Generally, in our jobs, they reward short term, the ideas thought for immediate results. “Everything is thought of here,” “is difficult to change the course of things that work” or “we already have the ideas too much clear to change now” are phrases that we face in the effort to change reality.
We met TetuanValley Startup School through www.todostartup.com a blog for entrepreneurs with awesome ideas and initiatives. altough it was not the only way and we had already heard of this initiative, if only for daring to mix a term as pure from Madrid and other such related to silicone. It so happened that at that we were starting to think in our own business idea and thought it would be interesting to experiment and learn all we could with them.
Particularly we decided not only to learn but to submit to his view all our possible ideas, alternatives and changes from Labscope, our project: every day we proposed a different view, with something fresh and different and we learned a lot more than we thought, improving and getting new ideas for the next time. Unfortunately, this strategy partly designed and partly run over by our daily led us not to move constructively every day and maybe turn the ideas too. The truth, we explored a good range of possibilities for our idea and we have submitted to all professionals with fresh knowledge and experience.
Have we learned? A lot! We learned how things happen, what to do to start and how to orchestrate a business idea for someone to understand it and be seduced. We were provided with practical tools for strategic and financial management and above all they brought the voice of experience, the voice of those who have been here before by their speeches or just be pure feedback to our proposals in form of painful lashes.
Getting back to pessimistic statements, there is one in particular that catches my attention from time to time: “The other day I had a great idea, but it caught me at work.” Well, for 6 weeks we have been able to share experiences with about 30 people who had an idea and the courage to face his reality to try to materialize it. We can not say for sure which ideas will mature and which will be forgotten, but all have been defended with great effort. Last weeks have been a hell for almost everyone. Now we can
look back and enjoy the time and lived experience or take the knowledge we’ve learned, lashes we have received and incorporated into our bags to move forward on the path by which we asked for help to @jmcobian, @abarrera, @joelovely and the other guys from Tetuan Valley.
In Labscope, we would like to use our last post to thank both the organizers of Tetuan Valley as colleagues who were there. Every comment, every idea, every criticism from TV, Kpad, Serendipio, Veloread, Control+Ad, Automatify, MyCompra, Locialia, Brucut, Magic Tales were all so welcome. Few times in life one has the feeling of being inside a real dynamic environment and generating ideas. This weeks we experienced one of them.
Thanks guys, hope to see you soon
