Standing up while brainstorming!
Today Pedro taught us something really funny! And it happened to be actually true! We should stand up while we brainstorming, “it is more effective” - Pedro said. After 5 minutes, we came up with an idea for our pitch and it got better and better and the final conception pleases us a lot! It is going to be awesome!!!! But we are not going to reveal it yet.
Lessons learned:

Today Pedro taught us something really funny! And it happened to be actually true! We should stand up while we brainstorming, “it is more effective” - Pedro said. After 5 minutes, we came up with an idea for our pitch and it got better and better and the final conception pleases us a lot! It is going to be awesome!!!! But we are not going to reveal it yet.
Lessons learned:
- We should give credit to each other! Even if things seem to strange and awkward we should trust in what our colleagues say!;
- It is crucial to meet as frequently as possible in order to keep expectations and efforts aligned;
- We feel that we ALL really believe in our product! Because it has potential (this opinion is based on feedback we have collected) and on top of that, because the cost structure is simple. As Mark Cuban said, “don’t start a company unless is an obsession and something you love”. So... maybe sooner or later… we will start Book a Chef!

Proud of us, dream team!
One of the interesting tasks for today: deeply think about a way for presenting our team. 3 months… it doesn’t seem a lot right? However, after this exercise, it is good to realize how well we know each other and the way we work individually and in-group.

One of the interesting tasks for today: deeply think about a way for presenting our team. 3 months… it doesn’t seem a lot right? However, after this exercise, it is good to realize how well we know each other and the way we work individually and in-group.
Lessons learned:
- 3 months is enough to realize that our team has limitations: for example, neither of us presents a huge knowledge on the specifications of our roles within the company;
- But, as we learnt, sometimes is more important to have the attitude rather than the capability;
- We found out that our team has one particular point in common: creativity. This characteristic is frequently applied in designers’ tasks, or in finding innovative ways to test hypothesis or in discovering ways to present our product.

Presentation time!
Now we are closer to the final presentation, so it´s time to work as much as we can! We are doing everything that we can to have the best pitch!
Lessons learned
- Plan a presentation with 10 slides is very difficult because we have lot of information to show. Because of this we understood that is very important to first discuss in group which topics we should include;
- Listening the others is very important, and it´s the only way to make the group work;
- We understood that everything that we do it´s better when we are working in group, when we are alone we can´t come up with great ideas!
