Together we move the spirit of dugnad digital
The COVID-19 has started a global financial crisis - Everywhere- from small places like Ebeltoft to Capitals like Copenhagen, Oslo, Washington DC, Islamabad and Malé. We are all in this together- that’s why we have called the Danish community for a MentorDugnad.
Dugnad is a Norwegian word for coming together as a community to help, volunteer work, usually by physical aid. However we are moving the spirit of dugnad digital. We know that many skilled and experienced people want to help! Just this weekend, we have secured (20 or a number) mentors.
The situation
And the global economy can not avoid it People will lose their jobs Families will need to dramatically adjust spending Our future is unclear Almost no industry is secure Even though many of us love to travel and attend and connect at conferences, nationally and globally, we have to face the fact that we have to wait years to be able to do that. Our Mentor Dugnad platform will be the place to keep developing and hacking for a better future.
The solution
By moving the mentors online- we can easy reach startups, sme’s and others in smaller communities. Maybe COVID-19 crises and social distancing can help the Danish Startups Scene; entrepreneurs, small businesses- connecting throughout the whole country.
During this Crisis the platform MentorDugnad offers 1-1 mentoring with experienced mentors locally- but we aim to be a global platform.
Go to market strategy is to offer the mentors attending all the HacktheCrises Hackathons to register- and off course the people who have attended. So we can keep the connections for the future- and hopefully be able to arrange a Hackathon physically with the attendees- in a few years!
We are looking for large tech companies to become sponsors. Locally- in each country- the Support apparatus can support with grants and public mentors.
