We started Startup Weekend Berlin 2012 with high hopes for our idea "Aldes.co".

However, Customer Validation showed: It´s a dog! So what did we do? Find out in the presentation.

We prepared this to show others how failing fast is a good thing, especially at a startup weekend. The jury and the audience agreed: We won the award for "Best Pitch" and got standing ovations from the crowd!
