It is almost time for the 1%EVENT, which brings together innovators, young professionals, entrepreneurs and change-makers. They invest one day of their time, expertise, talent, network and energy to work on new innovative approaches towards International Co-Operation 2.0. At the event there will be some interesting guests who want to tell you their story. But in the upcoming weeks towards the 1%EVENT we are going to tell you theirs in regular blog posts.
We would like to introduce you to Pim Betist, a social entrepreneur and one of the most innovative people in the Netherlands.
Pim is the Founder of Africa Unsigned and also created the online label SellaBand, attracting music fans to invest in their favourite artist by helping them to raise the funds for a new music project (a new album, tour or the promotion of their music). More than 3 million dollars were invested and around 50 artists ‘crowdfunded’ $50,000 to record and release their album. He was nominated Dutch Direct Marketing Man of the Year in 2008 and in the same year won the title of Best Speaker at MIA, Holland’s largest marketing conference. In January 2010, Management Team, the largest Business Magazine in the Netherlands, listed him as one of the top 25 creative business people.
We are really amazed that one guy can achieve all of this in such a short amount of time. It is not a secret that we are very happy that he is coming to the 1%EVENT! Do you also want to go to the event? Get your tickets now!
