Learn by doing
At the Startup Foundation we believe that the right knowledge and skills are key to the success of a startup. The best way to learn is by doing. This weekend we are busy with our first public Startup Academy weekend this year. The Startup Academy is Startup Foundation's action learning program that gives participants hands-on startup experience. Right now a committed group of awesome founders are working hard to bring their idea’s to life and learn as much as possible in one weekend.
Are you interested in joining one of our weekends check out Startup Academy for more information and just send us an email if you are interested in organising a Startup Academy weekend in your city!
There is plenty of learning for you at home too. In this edition, we have a man that makes founders cry and an article on why demo days suck. Keep it positive, right?
Happy learning!

How to create a culture of innovation beyond the sticky note
"Most of what is considered "innovation culture" is "innovation theater." Having rooms with business model canvases, sharpies and sticky notes is not innovation culture. Neither is opening an innovation lab or working with startup accelerators."
