HackNow
Yap, I won HackNow
So I’m the best hacker under 18 in Europe. That’s awesome
The prize was the best smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S2), 5000€ and give a talk at HackFwd Build 0.7 event.
The SGS2 is awesome, its display is incredible, and it has even HDMI!
And the 5000€ will help me found my first startup that I’m going to create with my friend Alberto.
But I think the best prize was the opportunity to give a talk at Build 07, place where the best tech enthusiasts, entrepreneurs and investors of Europe share their thinkings.
The travel from my city (Oviedo, Spain) to Berlin was very long (about 12 hours using bus and plane).
When I arrived Berlin I saw an open city with dynamic and very polite citizens. I saw bikes everywhere and I didn’t hear the amount of noise we have in Spain.
The hotel of the event was good and it had free WiFi!
The place that hosted the event was very cool. Very open and very geek. It had ping-pong table!
All the speakers were amazing in their talks and there was a very good atmosphere of networking, collaboration, innovation and work.
My talk was good and I didn’t make so much english mistakes ;-P
When I finished my talk people made me a couple standing ovations and three or four very interesting questions about On, my environment and my future.
I met incredible people such as Lars Hinrich, Christian Boos, David Bizer, Mikko Järvenpää, Tom Hulme… and a lot of other very big professionals and amazing persons.
The event was an unforgettable experience.
I definitively want to create my own startup ;-)
