Serious Simplicity

Some guy dug this up from last year’s OpenCoffee event in Paris. (Have a look at the whole set here.)

The guys at OpenCoffee Paris are doing it again this year and looks like it’s shaping up to be a great pre-conference event. (Register here.)

I promise to use my phone less this year and spend more time talking about our newest venture – TakeCharge!

If you can’t make it to OpenCoffee, do check us out on the start-up stage at 15:00 on the 9th of December ;-)

Countdown to our LeWeb presentation begins properly today.

It’s now exactly 15 days until we present TakeCharge to the LeWeb audience on the 9th of December in Paris. We’re on at 15:00 on the start-up stage so be sure to check us out.

Meantime, we’re working overtime to make sure we deliver the best presentation and demo we can possibly put together.

It’s an overnight’s work so it’s not as slick and polished as it might be, but we finally have some content and passable design for our ChargeVentures website in preparation for our LeWeb presentation next month.

Woke up this morning and wasn’t sure whether being selected for LeWeb, Europe’s largest tech conference, was something I dreamt about.

But if TechCrunch says so, it must be true! As I write, we’re planning out the next 28 days to make sure we deliver a brilliant presentation in our 7 minutes and we’ll appreciate your help.

How?

• We’re still trying to raise some small seed funding to help us attend…
• We’d love your feedback
• This week we’ll set up dedicated blogs, website etc… so that will be your chance to help us spread the word.

We’re company #6 on this list!

That’s right! We’ve been chosen as a finalist for the upcoming LeWeb start-up competition. Personally, I’m still in shock. I have no idea how many companies applied but if it’s anything like Seedcamp it was probably quite a few so we’re deeply honored to have made it even this far.

Will write more when i recover :-)

Just read the post about the 2008 LeWeb 3 conference in Paris announcing the dates for this year: 9-10 December.

It’s early days of course but if anyone attended LeWeb 2007 you’ll know that it’s well worth keeping the dates in mind. If this year’s event is even half as good as last year’s it will still be one hell of a conference… and given the organising team’s dedication, its more likely to be twice as good! :-)
