Stefano Foscaldi, founder of YoungFounders – The Startup Network

Stefano is passionate about business opportunities and making them happen. Early on he realised that his skill of thinking up visionary ideas alone was not enough. It required something more: the right people to make it happen. He cofounded YoungFounders.net, a company aiming to bring together the right people at the right time for a specific business venture. He used his talent in HR to create connections that would be beneficial and lasting. That is what YoungFounders is all about.

Stefano says that he found his passion connecting people for business, as he does not have all the skills to take and pursue the opportunities he sees. Not yet working full time on it, his passion his gradually becoming  a job.
Stefano is convinced that you have to live your passion. He says: “It is fun to work, if you are pursuing your passion. You can work harder, longer and more days a week but still like what you do. Isn’t this amazing? And if you get to earn money with it, that’s the jackpot!” You do have a passion as well?

Eva Pauline Bossow, co-founder of Konzertliebe

Eva is an entrepreneur in culture and arts and passionate about transforming emotional artistic moments into true love between people. At a young age already, she discovered her interest in cultural themes. While playing the guitar as a child and being a young actress, she still decided to study communication and business administration. However it was always clear to her, that she wanted to work in the cultural sector. By chance, during a market research project, she found her business idea for Konzertliebe and started living her passion.

Konzertliebe is an event format bringing together people through music. Konzertliebe plays with the highly emotional aspects of music and brings together singles at different high-class music events. Through Konzertliebe, Eva got the opportunity to live and share her passion for culture. She sees classical cultural activity depending too much on public subsidies and observes decreasing interest by the great public. By using the energy liberated by her passion, she is about to change this.

Eva is convinced that living oneʼs passion represents true fulfilment. But also she believes that one can only be outstanding, if he or she is passionate about what one is doing. To live your passion and to do outstanding things, Eva invites you warmly to the Startup Weekend Creative Business, sign up here.
