Pop Up Magazine interviews: today we're talking about start-ups Our magazine today takes you to discover the world of start-ups, offering you a very interesting interview with Andrea Giarrizzo, founder of Startup Super School, a program aimed at secondary schools and universities. Hi Andrea, welcome to Pop Up Magazine! Tell us a little about yourself to melt the ice. Hello and thank you for asking me for the interview. You are a beautiful reality and consequently I feel honored to have a chat with you. I am a 23 year old boy, partly American and partly Italian, who grew up in Sicily, in a small village called Valguarnera Caropepe, the famous Carrapipi! From an early age I began to develop a passion for IT, thus finding myself developing applications for mobile devices at the age of 19.
In that period I launched several titles that were very successful internationally with Find Your Phone Number more than 6 million total downloads, in particular among the most important are Film Streaming (second most downloaded app in Italy, USA and India at the end of 2012) and YouTube Downloader (first most downloaded app in the world at the end of 2012). From then on I began to learn new words such as startup, enterprise and failure and therefore intrigued by them, I decided to delve deeper into the topics and frequent the ecosystems that surrounded me, in Italy and abroad.
As the years went by and my skills in Business Development and Strategies increased, I made failure my reason for living and decided to launch a new social project, called Startup Super School , a set of training programs with creative and innovative ones that allow school and university students to discover themselves and believe in their own ideas, thus launching their own startup. At the same time I act as a business coach for startups that need to build a business strategy that allows them to follow a structured path, and be ready against any daily obstacle and, if necessary, even failure. I collaborate with organizations such as Giffoni Innovation Hub as an advisor for brand image community management.
