"The best way to predict our future is to invent it."
(Alan Kay 1971)
Open Sailing aims to design and invent future lifestyles to overcome any possible natural and manmade disasters stimulating people’s ingenuity and sense of solidarity. Might it be global warming or energy conflicts, we are living in a time where we are sniffing the ‘Apocalypse’, finally realising our human part of responsibility as the earth is crumbling. 2012 is a year when a collection of apocalyptic events are rumored to happen. We are taking 2012 as an ideal dystopic symbol we design for. 2012 is tomorrow, we must design quickly using these constraints and invent bootstrapping DIY technologies.
Open Sailing method is to convert apocalyptic threats into design constraints. From our compiled set of threat maps, we found that oceans are the safest locations. Ocean survival architecture became our new starting point, but we need to go further than surviving : how can we live together in this new fluid configuration and remain a hyper-connected intelligent social being? We are trying to make a truly “open architecture” : pre-broken, under-defined, reconfigurable, moveable, pluggable, organic, fluid. Can we reach a harmonious dynamic state of interdependence with each other and the earth? Is this the next step of civilization progress? Will we dissociate our concept of progress with infrastructure and metropolis?

Bootstrapped Brews is a celebration of the things that make Colorado the state it is today: entrepreneurship, beer and charity.
Bootstrapped Brews, now in its second year, is the annual members’ conference (21 & up) of the Bootstrapped Brews Association (BBA). It is an opportunity to connect with like-minded Colorado-area startups, to secure bragging rights for making some of the finest homebrew in town, and to help an amazing cause with 100% of proceeds benefiting Promise Ranch. It is part networking event, part competition, and completely fun. We welcome any Colorado-based company with a startup mentality and a passion for brewing.
How it works
Participating startups will be given a space and a table to set up any promotional materials they like. Additionally, startups will be provided with a bucket (for kegs or bottles) and ice to keep their beer cold. In return, each startup must brew and provide at least 5 gallons of beer by August 1st, 2015 (1 week prior to the event for judging purposes). Startups, you are also responsible for serving your beer at the event.
The bulk of the event will be unstructured, so participants can mill around, visit with fellow startups, and drink plenty of beer. Around 8:00 pm, a panel of judges will share their picks for the best brews (first, second, and third place), as well as People’s Choice, and awards will be handed out.

Went to the event tonight, was organized with participation of several international organizations in the valley: German, French, Russian, Polish, Brazilian and Israeli. Kelly Porter made an introduction stating that he is representing bold white American men in this diverse international crowd:D
Here is the summary for the event:
Investment Strategies for Entrepreneurs in 2011
Financing startups in Silicon Valley has changed in recent years. Entrepreneurs today don't have to rely on only VC funding anymore, nor do they necessarily have to turn to Angels, there are other ways for them to finance their ventures nowadays.
Issues to be discussed:
Are entrepreneurs today financing their startups mainly by bootstrapping or have they found different ways to get their companies going?
How are VC's adapting to these changes? Have they rolled out new financing models or are VC's simply being replaced?
Have Angels and Super-Angels taken their place in getting start ups off the ground?
Is it easier getting financing in other countries now, or do startups still have to come to the US for that?
Moderator:
Kelly Porter, Managing Director, Woodside Capital Partners
Panel:
Sebastian Blum, VP Business Development, cooliris
Daniel Robin, Venture Catalyst & Cleantech Investment Strategist
Lisa Dolev, Founder and CEO of Qylur Security Systems, Inc.
Dave Gravano, Partner at Western Technology Investment
Bjoern Herrmann, Founder of BlackBox

Bootstrapped Brews is a celebration of the things that make Colorado the state it is today: entrepreneurship, beer and charity.
Bootstrapped Brews, now in its second year, is the annual members’ conference (21 & up) of the Bootstrapped Brews Association (BBA). It is an opportunity to connect with like-minded Colorado-area startups, to secure bragging rights for making some of the finest homebrew in town, and to help an amazing cause with 100% of proceeds benefiting Promise Ranch. It is part networking event, part competition, and completely fun. We welcome any Colorado-based company with a startup mentality and a passion for brewing.
How it works
Participating startups will be given a space and a table to set up any promotional materials they like. Additionally, startups will be provided with a bucket (for kegs or bottles) and ice to keep their beer cold. In return, each startup must brew and provide at least 5 gallons of beer by August 1st, 2015 (1 week prior to the event for judging purposes). Startups, you are also responsible for serving your beer at the event.
The bulk of the event will be unstructured, so participants can mill around, visit with fellow startups, and drink plenty of beer. Around 8:00 pm, a panel of judges will share their picks for the best brews (first, second, and third place), as well as People’s Choice, and awards will be handed out.

This rather gorgeous swirling steel sculpture close to the aquatic gardens is called Bootstrapping DNA and stands next to Jodrell Laboratory.
Sculpted by Charles Jenck, it represents the double helix that DNA is.

We are trying to make a truly “open architecture” : pre-broken, under-defined, reconfigurable, moveable, pluggable, organic, fluid. Can we reach a harmonious dynamic state of interdependence with each other and the earth? Is this the next step of civilization progress? Will we dissociate our concept of progress with infrastructure and metropolis?

"The best way to predict our future is to invent it."
(Alan Kay 1971)
Open Sailing aims to design and invent future lifestyles to overcome any possible natural and manmade disasters stimulating people’s ingenuity and sense of solidarity. Might it be global warming or energy conflicts, we are living in a time where we are sniffing the ‘Apocalypse’, finally realising our human part of responsibility as the earth is crumbling. 2012 is a year when a collection of apocalyptic events are rumored to happen. We are taking 2012 as an ideal dystopic symbol we design for. 2012 is tomorrow, we must design quickly using these constraints and invent bootstrapping DIY technologies.

Bootstrapped Brews is a celebration of the things that make Colorado the state it is today: entrepreneurship, beer and charity.
Bootstrapped Brews, now in its second year, is the annual members’ conference (21 & up) of the Bootstrapped Brews Association (BBA). It is an opportunity to connect with like-minded Colorado-area startups, to secure bragging rights for making some of the finest homebrew in town, and to help an amazing cause with 100% of proceeds benefiting Promise Ranch. It is part networking event, part competition, and completely fun. We welcome any Colorado-based company with a startup mentality and a passion for brewing.
How it works
Participating startups will be given a space and a table to set up any promotional materials they like. Additionally, startups will be provided with a bucket (for kegs or bottles) and ice to keep their beer cold. In return, each startup must brew and provide at least 5 gallons of beer by August 1st, 2015 (1 week prior to the event for judging purposes). Startups, you are also responsible for serving your beer at the event.
The bulk of the event will be unstructured, so participants can mill around, visit with fellow startups, and drink plenty of beer. Around 8:00 pm, a panel of judges will share their picks for the best brews (first, second, and third place), as well as People’s Choice, and awards will be handed out.

Another part of project Dollmination is to ensure that Smart Doll is also given exposure at non-otaku events.
In February I attended the worlds biggest mobile conference - the Mobile World Congress which attracts all the telcos, device manufactures and content providers.
I gave a talk about Smart Doll and bootstrapping and even though I wasn't looking for investment, many folks who believed in my product approached me interested in investing in the future doll market.

Bootstrapped Brews, now in its second year, is the annual members’ conference (21 & up) of the Bootstrapped Brews Association (BBA). It is an opportunity to connect with like-minded Colorado-area startups, to secure bragging rights for making some of the finest homebrew in town, and to help an amazing cause with 100% of proceeds benefiting Promise Ranch. It is part networking event, part competition, and completely fun. We welcome any Colorado-based company with a startup mentality and a passion for brewing.
How it works
Participating startups will be given a space and a table to set up any promotional materials they like. Additionally, startups will be provided with a bucket (for kegs or bottles) and ice to keep their beer cold. In return, each startup must brew and provide at least 5 gallons of beer by August 1st, 2015 (1 week prior to the event for judging purposes). Startups, you are also responsible for serving your beer at the event.
The bulk of the event will be unstructured, so participants can mill around, visit with fellow startups, and drink plenty of beer. Around 8:00 pm, a panel of judges will share their picks for the best brews (first, second, and third place), as well as People’s Choice, and awards will be handed out.
