Andrew Koob, Co-owner of ViewPointSystem (Austria)

Andrew150Having the opportunity to participate at the Founders Space accelerator program was a one in a lifetime experience I will never forget. If I think of it, the program already started weeks before in Vienna when Steve Austin clearly made me understand how things work in Silicon Valley and what I need to learn to make things happen here – Thanks Steve!

Captain Hoff and Naomi as well as the mentors were great and not only spent quality time with companies but were enthusiastic about helping and would go out of their way to meet with us outside of office hours and even after the actual program had ended.

This is certainly well above the norm, therefore my thanks to the whole team! Read More...

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

Bell 2

Review: I just reread THE BELL JAR by Sylvia Plath. It was even more powerful the second time. What a brilliant and tragic story. The fact that it’s based on her actual experience makes it all the more poignant. She captures her emotions and crystalizes them for all to see. Few authors can be this honest and raw in the face of a cruel world.

Rating: ★★★★★
