TRANSCRIPT
SPONSORSHIP
Viking Geeks documentary is a window to the Nordic startups in Silicon Valley. A peak to the tough work of the entrepreneurs, the high times and the low times, when they are chasing their dreams. We don’t polish and cover anything - the stories are told exactly how they are. And that’s the beauty of the documentary. Blood, sweat and tears - and laughs - about the daily life of the startups, and Silicon Valley. Viking Geeks is NOT a reality show - it shows real business life of the real Nordic startups, and real entrepreneurs. Stories are told how they happen, and when they happen. We will follow selected companies in their Silicon Valley journeys for 6-9 months. Their everyday business lives. It is not always easy - but some of them will change the world! !Viking Geeks documentary premier will be in Fall 2016 - shown in Silicon Valley and in the Nordics (Finland, Estonia, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and Denmark). It will also be entering various film festivals. In addition - we are aiming for Nordic TV broadcasting as well. Along the filming, we will have dynamic webpage and social media covering the ‘making of’ of the Viking Geeks documentary with live updates continuously. Distribution will also include many of the major universities in the Nordics (as a teaching material). !Our sponsors are enabling this project to be completed and shown to audiences in Silicon Valley, in the Nordics and beyond. Your contribution will be put to work to cover the costs of filming, editing, finishing, equipment, transportation, crew and distributing this important film. With your sponsorship you will enable this historical and cultural entrepreneurship documentary that will live for years for future generations.
