Alex Farcet's Announcements

Startupbootcamp is for entrepreneurs with great ideas and great teams who are looking to transform their idea into a live company in 3 months. Following a rigorous selection, up to 10 teams will come to Copenhagen in summer 2010 to be part of the first generation of Startupbootcamp companies. We will host the teams in an incubator environment in the heart of Copenhagen, we will inject some cool cash and lots of top notch mentorship, and we will close with Investor Day - a unique opportunity for the 10 startups to pitch to the most active Danish, Nordic and international investors.

I have the privilege of co-founding Startupbootcamp with Rainmaking, one of the hottest companies on the Danish startup scene at the moment. Rainmaking call themselves a startup factory and they've launched eight startups in the last three years, two of which have already been exited.

It's my pleasure to announce the launch of Nordicstartupjobs.com, a job portal and headhunting agency dedicated to startups throughout the Nordics.  The job portal is completely free and allows easy sharing with social networks (via Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn).  The headhunting services are designed to lower the barrier of entry to startups by accepting payments sliced over time as opposed to the standard upfront fee.

Getting attention for a new job portal is no small task so we're hoping to get viral support from the various startup communities throughout the Nordics.

Also, in order to expand our coverage, we are looking for recruitment and headhunting partners in other major cities throughout the Nordics. We offer a franchise-like agreement ensuring all parties are motivated to win together.
