What a week! It is amazing how many things you can get done once you gather six brilliant minds and work 20 hours a day. It is definitely not a sustainable way to work that many hours a day, but it definitely works out for a shorter period.
Let’s take it from the top with some facts about the MIT Global Entrepreneurship Bootcamp: 6000+ applications, 123 persons admitted, 5 days, 12 hours of sleep (in total), 6 people in one team, 100 solutions (to one problem). 5 pivots, 1 final presentation!
What is my key take away from this week? It is all about the team! We were a team of six, and we worked on a concept similar to my project Trashnology.
What if we could incentivize people from developing countries to pick up their trash, and give them money in return for the trash collected? Not only will we clean up the earth, we will also give everyone an opportunity to earn their own money!
The idea is still just a concept, but I do truly believe there is a market for it. We did plenty of research on the topic, and we even had an expert in waste management on our team! The next step is to find the right market to launch the product in. We found out that Sierra Leone (targeted marketed) has a great potential in terms of impact, but might be difficult to implement the idea. Next step is to find a feasible market for Trashnology and co-founders! Hit me up if you are keen on working with Trash.
