Saving rainforest with drinking water
By Niklas Hildebrandt Often I’m confused for being Dutch because of my accent and the way I look, but the truth is that I am zero percent Dutch; I’m actually for Denmark. However, what never ever happens is that people confuse me for being Latin. I don’t look Latin, I’m not entirely sure that I […]
It’s 4 AM and I’m wide awake and jet-lagged in San Francisco
I have been asked as team coach to write blog for our new fantastic Team Academy site. And what is a better time to write a blog post in this nice and hectic life than at 4 AM in the morning; wide awake and jetlagged in San Francisco! I arrived two days ago and will […]
“Hong Kong feels like a city of the future”
This month we’ve got the 2nd and 3rd year teams going abroad to San Francisco, Hong Kong & Cape town. Read about some of Manus’s observations in Hong Kong to see what’s going on with him & his team on the other end(s) of the world. ‘Hi’ I say to the bus driver. He looks […]
#Live it
So, there we were, a first year team, at the beginning of a 24 hours challenge. We naturally strived for chaos, worked our ass of for assignments and had discussions about life that were so deep that Jesus couldn’t even understand. No sleep, lots of fast food, a crate of redbulls and a bunch of […]

So, Jelmar, how’s life treating you? Hi there! I’m doing great, thanks. Thanks for giving me the […]

Customer = King
Paros, end of August – I was at my Greek grandma’s place because she had Wifi, to arrange the very last things for my project. I just ordered my first big order of 1440 Solar Jars. 3 pallets would be shipped from Durban, South Africa, crossing the Atlantic Ocean to arrive eventually in Rotterdam. I […]
PROSPEKT #01 @ Mixtup
19 December 2015, our first PROSPEKT ever. A concept where we create a platform for young dj’s to play in front of a crowd at unique locations through Amsterdam. As one of the main learning methodologies in Team Academy is starting lean, that’s exactly what we’ve done with this project. We just started building our […]
Three and a half months of Impact
My first three and a half months at Team Academy. Wow what an experience these have been, from Romania to Amsterdam and everywhere in between. I must say what has been made very clear to me during my time at Team Academy is that Dutch people are pretty mad, or at least these Dutch people […]
Showtime!
“Today is the big day’’, I told myself when I was making my way down to the Team Academy. My five minutes of fame are coming up, exciting times! In just a few hours I would be presenting my business in front of the whole school. A five minute pitch which would explain what I […]
