Hi everyone,

I’ll keep it short. We didn’t get it. However, I have a few thoughts to share with everyone regarding my experience here in Bled, Slovenia.

It’s one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life (really sorry Giao you couldn’t come. I wish you could). We had great speakers (absolutely fantastic speakers I must say), great interactions with youths all over the world. Of course you can check out the photos and videos on ChallengeFuture.org. Regarding the outcome, the winning team is my favorite and my inspiration. They are humble, talented and very cute young people. I agree 100% with the final call and think that ChallengeFuture made the best decision. Of course, it would have been nice if we have some funding for a social project like ConnEd. But the event at its core is not about entrepreneurship, it’s about a future world of connecting and fair-play for global young people.

Regarding the future of ConnEd, we have a sponsor and partners, etc. but we don’t have financial backing.  It will be hard but we’ll see.

You’re welcome to Slovenia. The hills are green. Bled’s lake is beautiful. Slovenian community is very friendly, and Slovenian girl is sweet. I think I’m in love, unfortunately.
