Find Better Problems write up

Posted on 13th July 2012 by Asi Sharabi -

Last Wednesday we had the inaugural Find Better Problems - in collaborations with our friends from Good for Nothing, SheSays & Hacker News London - hosted at SidekickHQ.

It was quite cool actually. Inspiring speakers, loads of clever friends we love to hang out with, great food. What's not to like?

This one was in-beta-invite-only so if you want to come to the next one please stick your email at the end of the page.

First up was Victor who told the story of Mendeley. From a personal need as a researcher to a 1.8million academc users changing the way researchers collect and share knowledge. 

The ever so brilliant Andrew of Greyworld talked about playfully hacking public spaces, redefining public art and getting the queen to play with your balls.

Next up was lovely Clare of CodeClub talked about their amazing vision and how they got from a drunken rant in the pub to 1800 volunteers + uber celebrities to appear in their promo video. Ace. 

Closing the lineup it was the legendary @Stef. No slides, just a glass of coke and an inspiring personal tale of a relentless pursuit of playfully mixing creativity and purpose. 

Stay in touch for the next one here. 

Keep up the good stuff.
