A one-way ticket from Germany to Silicon Valley

Steli Efti came up to me at a blogger dinner and said “this is my first day in America, I bought a one-way ticket here to follow my dream.” That alone intrigued me and so we had a conversation on his second day in America to talk about why he came to Silicon Valley and the school of the future idea that he’s trying to get done.

    Great Idea Steli! I wonder how you will survive without a residence permit? I am a web developer from Germany perhaps I should buy a oneway ticket too :)

    Brilliant idea, I hope he succeeds because there’s a lot I want to learn !

    Very inspiring story! Although your idea still seems to need more structure and concept I think there is potential. I wish you all the best for your plans!!!

    I don’t know if Steli reads this… but try to talk to Max Senges from Germany. He is researching in the area of what he calls “knowledge entrepreneurship”. Comes close to your idea…

    So what ever happened to this guy?

    One thing I’ve never seen in a video blog is a story about an “entrepreneur” that’s washed up.

    Very nice idea Steli! I do not want to disappoint you but Adobe made a product with the capability to make you idea a reality. The product’s name is Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional along with the service they provide for the product. I have already had some what a dozen of eSeminars as Adobe calls them and I must say it is very good. Of course if you Steli have something more to propose to the public I suggest to go ahead ;)
    Cheers from Bulgaria and Germany!
