Red Herring Logo

Red Herring – a leading innovation, technology, and business magazine – is featuring a special report on 25 young entrepreneurs between the age of 17 and 35 who will rock the world in 2007 and beyond.

You can read about Elizabeth Holmes, who dropped out of Stanford University at age 19 and launched a start-up that developed a monitoring system for tracking a person’s blood status remotely. And then there is Weina Scott, a 17-year-old CEO who already has three successful start-ups under her belt. Furthermore, in terms of companies, seven occupied the Internet space; four companies in software, two each in biotech, venture capital, and wireless and there were one each in the solar, medical device, nanotech, and telecom segments.

In short, a must read during Christmas when you’re interested in entrepreneurship and innovative technologies that will shape various industries the forthcoming years.

Next generation outsourcing

Today, BusinessWeek reports on a new wave of IT outsourcing which goes far beyond Bangalore, India. It touches upon 10 new cities that are emerging as new outsourcing centres. Not only because Bangalore becomes more unattractive as offshore location. But companies also want to tap into the entire pool of global talent, maintain risk management (IP and data protection, security issues), and utilise special skill sets not available in India. Find here the CEO guide to outsourcing!

Update: An overview on all major outsourcing players can be found here.

Update: The Future Of Outsourcing is discussed in this special report.

Mentorsclub weekend!

Mentorsclub MT Weekend, South Korea

I just figured out that I’m one week behind with updating and posting atmosphere snapshots on my blog. So here are some snapshots taken during the Mentorsclub MT weekend. It took place in the countryside of Korea about three hours outside Seoul. During daytime we did some fun stuff like paintball shooting, playing football and at night we had a nice dinner, did some drinking and norebang (Karaoke). Enjoy the snapshots!
