Our one-line pitch is…
Leila – the library of things
Introduce your team, and tell us one interesting thing about each member. We are…
We are a group of seven young people who always have been interested in sustainability. Everybody has been involved in at least one initiative or two before starting Leila.
We received our initial capital through…
an awesome opening party 😉 we believe in bootstrapping, but we also managed to get some public funding/award money.
The real pain about starting a business in Austria is…
the general lack of belief in new ideas. Most people never think of starting a business or an organization and tend to be judgmental if you do it.
The person that inspires us is…
Nikolai Wolfert of Leila Berlin, our partner whopioneered the concept of the borrowing shop.
The one app/service that we couldn’t live without is..
We communicate quite a lot through facebook, both with each other and with our great community – but if facebook didn`t exist, we would find something else.
The one thing we would save from our burning office is…
I guess the camping gas cartridges from our travel section since we don`t want to blow up the whole building 😉
The worst piece of advice we ever got was…
don`t do it if you don`t see yourself getting rich with it.
The one thing that will make us quit is…
a blown up building like suggested in the other question would be a setback, but I can`t promise that we will ever stop 😉
Our inside joke is…
for some reasons, we issued at first the telephone number of the one guy in the group who hates to be called, of course receiving dozens of calls ever since
You might not believe it, but we…
really want you to steal our idea!
We’ll call ourselves successful when…
there is a Leila in every district, every city, every country!
The startup we really want to see on inventures’ Startup Pick is…
the next Leila! Contact us if you want to start it in your city, we believe in open source
