I am Jenneil… I’ve quit my job, traveled the world, and am in the process of starting haqpak a company that hacks the way you pack. (Travel gear, apps, templates)
I live in Sacramento so you don’t have to buy a plane ticket for me to join you… Or even a hotel for that matter. Save your money and let me help you make more money!!
It’s my time! I’ve been in business for about 18 months while still working full time as an accountant. I already have my own studio and I’m ready to take the leap. My current job is stressing me out but I think it’s just a sign that it’s time. I gave myself 2 year in January 2013 to get a steady income before quitting my day job but I feel like my day job is preventing me from growing my business. There are only so many hours in the day and I have a hubby, 3 teenagers and a dog…who all want my attention. Again, it’s my time…. I’m just struggling with making the leap and giving up a nice salary that frankly has afforded me the opportunity to even open a studio. But, it’s my time!!
Go big or Go home…. I’m ready!
Attending this Silicon Valley creativeLIVE session in person would provide immense inspiration and motivation. As a Bay Area native, I’ve been enthralled at the possibilities of the intersection of creative art and business innovation, which is the driving force in our society–increasingly important as technology becomes further integrated with our lives. As someone with a background in photography and filmmaking, and now in the midst of a digital marketing career, spending two days with Chase and special guests would propel me further into the world that already excites me to change the world every day. Help me build my dreams!
I am a 22 year old Russian-American who just graduated from SUNY Buffalo with a dual degree in Electrical Engineering & Mathematics, with a Minor in Physics, and will begin working on my PhD in nanophotonics at UC Santa Barbara in several weeks. I have had a lifelong interest in entrepreneurship, stemming in part from my father’s entrepreneurial ventures, and in part due to my own desire to improve the world my developing sustainable companies which provide value to the world while simultaneously creating jobs. I want to attend this event because I want to learn from the world’s best minds in entrepreneurship, in particular Tim Ferriss, Guy Kawasaki, and Reid Hoffman, and apply their knowledge towards developing my own companies.
While at SUNY Buffalo I was the Chief Engineer of a student group which is designing a satellite for the Air Force Research Laboratory. Under my leadership the group the group secured an additional $110,000 in funding and a launch opportunity with NASA, scheduled circa 2015. While working on this project I gained a better understanding of the business ecosystem in the emerging private space industry, and the commercialization of the space technology sector is one potential area for entrepreneurship that I am interested in. I believe that the individuals I will meet at this event have the connections and skills that I will need to help me achieve this goal, as well as other companies that I would like to build.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hi there,
Ill keep this short and simple. The adventure you are offering will change the selected persons life for the better. I want this. Im testing a unique concept right now through Facebook. It’s call Kollective World and it’s all about encouraging people to Live the Good Life. There are many different avenues this concept can take and it’s an advantage that I just did a soft launch on Memorial Day. Connecting with the right people and finding a mentor at this stage will be a win/win situation for all involved.
I see myself has an ambitious sponge who is looking to soak up as much information and wisdom as humanely possible, and this adventure is place to do it.
Short and simple as promised. Get me out of the cubicle and Ill be forever grateful 🙂
Enjoy yourself!
