12MIN.ME is becoming even more interactive with a new format unlike anything that’s come before. 12MIN.ME START!
Three rooms. Three perspectives. Twelve minutes – that could decide the fate of your idea. Inspired by the Walt Disney method, four people with early-stage start ups or ideas are put through a structured creative process that really works:
In the Dreamer Room, you think without limits.
In the Realist Room, the vision becomes a plan.
In the Critic Room, you identify what’s still missing.
Twelve minutes each room – focused, intense, to the point. And the sparring partners in the rooms? That’s YOU! the 12MIN.ME community.
At the end, each startup summarises its insights in 12 × 12 seconds. Live. In a Recording Box.
All this takes place at Prismeo Lab. One of the most inspiring venues you could wish for.
Do you have an early-stage startup or idea and want to take your idea to the next level? Then apply as a pitch team at hamburg@12min.me.
