2020 has been a year like we’ve never seen before, and despite all the challenges we faced, our team kept their innovational spirit!

Our team has been working hard to create new and exciting ways to connect with our innovators’ community, support social entrepreneurship, and enable young students to develop their first ideas and entrepreneurial spirit.

Read on if you want to know what happened this year at Myndset HQ and what we have planned for 2021!

Myndset Education

We believe that Innovation is a skill that needs to be developed and that entrepreneurship needs more support in our school system — and this is why we decided to launch our secret prototype of Myndset Cards tailored to be used in schools.

We gave away our prototypes for free to teachers passionate about delivering the best learning experience and who live and breathe education every day.

We were overwhelmed with positive feedback, but see yourself (sorry it’s in German!)

Do you want to support our Education project, or do you have an idea that we definitely should implement? Write a comment or send us an email to info@myndset.cards and let’s discuss!

In this challenging year, our team took all the chances to give back to the community by participating in the #WirvsVirus Hackathon as Mentors and sponsoring digital copies of Myndset Cards worth 1.000 EUR.

Our team supported the ideation process, advised the final pitches, did Voice Overs, and spent countless hours as community managers to help #WirvsVirus became a smooth experience for the worldwide unmatched 42.000 registrations and 28.361 participants.
Participating in the worlds biggest Hackathon definitely was a one of a kind experience for all of us, and despite exhaustion and sleep deprivation, we would do it all over again.

Cybervampire Ideation Session

Eventually, we even developed our own idea, “Cyber Vampire “- an Alexa skill delivering a voice-based adventure for children aiming to gamify the experience of social distancing, and you might hear of it again in 2021 ;-) #SippytheVampire

Bits & Pretzels 2020 — Storytelling and the science of emotion

And while in-person events weren’t really a thing this year, we participated in all kinds of virtual events as speakers, participants, hosts, and supporters. We even built our own meeting space in Virtual Reality, but none of those can even closely match the experience of seeing our customers, friends, and other entrepreneurs in person. Still, hey, virtual speaking slots aren’t that bad once you finally hit unmute!

Talking about this — there’s even a Kickstarter campaign solving “Mute“ problem, check it out here:

OK, and now about 2021, are you excited already? Because we are! :)

NEW: Myndset Seminars
Pick the brain of our Gamification and Ideation Expert Jasmin Karatas and learn how to create ideas in our virtual live seminar on 20.01.2020!

Any no, this is not just another Zoom session; we are hosting our seminars, workshops, and other secret formats that are yet to come on an incredible, interactive platform that features virtual tables, the possibility to speak right next to the host, a business version of Chatroullete and many more.

(I know you tried Chatroullete, but don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone!)

To celebrate our new virtual format, we are giving away one free ticket to you:

For 2021 we’re all set up for learning, supporting entrepreneurship, and building a community that helps each other!

So let’s enjoy a few days off with or without or loved ones and help us to create a year of ideas in 2021 together!

Thank you all for being with us on this exciting journey!

We can’t wait to meet many of you in 2021 again!

Your Myndset Team
Alex, Henny, Jasmin and Flo
