- Morning!
(Turn Up Volume)
Zinc is a social incubator where
54 entrepreneurs come together to build
companies which helps 650 million women and girls
with their mental and emotional health!
The Zinc Bootcamp was amazing but also
really intense!
For two weeks we would meet up every day
in multiple small circles and meet different members of the cohort
because there are 53
potential founders and you want to make
sure that all of them!
That could be quite tough but luckily
they made a little booklet for us
where we can see all the founders together
And every day there were six speeches by
industry experts
First mostly about entrepreneurship
by very successful entrepreneurs who are all experienced in the industry
and then in the second week
all about mental health
which can be quite a downer at times but
to cheer it up a little bit we also went whitewater rafting
(Shutter Sound)
And two of the researchers were actually twins
which both did amazing research in
suicide and stress prevention
And the support we received was amazing
Apart from all these speakers
who came in just to speak with us
there were also famous investors
who just dropped by the office to say hello
and tell us how great this mission is!
And some of the speakers even Skyped in
to make sure that they could speak to us
even though they couldn't be there in
person
And finally we celebrated all these efforts
at our launch event for where over 400 people came together
to celebrate that we are tackling
some of the world's biggest problems
- [Minister of Digital] And now I guess it is time
to hear from the politician
Why are all these people making time to come talk to us
and not to the court of some other startup incubator?
It's definitely because of the amazing network of the founders
No doubt!
BUT I think it's also because we also have a mission!
Having the common goal
of solving the current mental health crisis
among young women and girls
unites everybody in this cohort and bonds them and
makes them work together
But it also motivates
other people to join us and help us on this mission
We're not just here to make money
we're here to help these people
make the world a better place!
And we also got a rooftop terrace!
