Startup Sauna Belgrade – A Royal Treatment for Serbian Startups
Startup Events are always exciting, even more so when they happen in inspiring environment such as Belgrade’s Royal Palace, add to this a great mix of local and foreign mentors and enthusiastic teams presenting their early stage startups and the feeling is unbeatable.
So when we were given the opportunity to present Althemy - CyberCity in front of European accelerator Startup Sauna from Finland, we jumped at it without a second thought.
'Sale without Selling' & StartLabs Open Mentoring Hour
Once upon a time, in a café not so far away, a sort of a startup love story began, a beginning of a beautiful friendship between Startlabs and Cybercity. But not because one was accelerator / investor and other early stage startup.
Althemy - CyberCity @ Startup Academy
We have started working on the idea CyberCity with the funding help of our ‘angel’ Predrag Kovacevic, but we felt like something important was missing. For this particular project to succeed, we needed to get ‘out of the building’, create a network of people around it, who would participate each on his own way.
Origins a.k.a Introduction
Althemy - CyberCity was first created in 2003rd, as a popular forum centered on alternative lifestyle subjects. These topics varied from astrology, over spiritualism, sex, new age to occult. All the current team members were also active members on the forum, vividly participating in discussions across all these topics.
The forum thrived for many years and gathered many followers, until it was shut down in 2007th for technical reasons.
