CargoX is based in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The startup community and ecosystem is developed to a certain stage that does not currently provide long shots, which are possible in larger cities with better VC and investors background. In December, CargoX secured partnerships with both Global Cargo Alliance and ConsolFreight.
For the 2010 and 2011 Lean Startup conferences , we offered the complete conference for simulcast so that people could join in from their communities around the world. These simulcasts are important community-building opportunities. (BTW, BTW, you can read more about why in Brad Feld's new book, Startup Communities.)

Before that I was an equal partner in Kaggle, which is a popular data science competition community. So plenty of dark bits, but also this weird discovery that you can create incredibly close connections with people that I've never met before and build a global community of people who want nothing more than to help save lives.
