My Green Space is Crowd Funding

My friends in LaunchAcademy are crowd funding their startup on Indiegogo. It is called My Green Space which is aiming to make it possible for us to grow food no matter where we are. They will be offering web and mobile apps to manage your own urban garden and the mobile app will notify you and keep you updated on how to take care of your greens. In fact their mission is to cover 100,000 acres of urban space one garden box at a time. Their goal is to raise $20,000 initial funds. So if you want to support an awesome Vancouver startup, here is a good one. You can also follow them on twitter @mygreenspacevan, Instagram @mygreenspacevan and their facebook page.

Connecting The Dots at LaunchAcademy

Rastin Mehr giving a talk at launch academy about building insightful knowledge apps

So this Wednesday I gave a talk about building insightful knowledge apps and Anahita project at the LaunchAcademy in Vancouver. Most of the audience members were from the LighthouseLabs coding school and Startup founders and employees who work from this work space. In this talk I also mentioned a couple of iOS mobile apps that we have developed at rmdStudio for our clients. Here are the slides if you are interested to take a look.

I would like to thank LaunchAcademy, Hans Peter Meyer, and Keith Bao (from Corporate Champions Vancouver) for live tweeting the event for us. You can see some of them here:
