Coffee plays a key role in Colombia’s economy. Almost 600,000 families are currently producing coffee in the country, from regions limiting with Ecuador in the South, up to the Caribbean Sea region in the North. Average annual coffee production in Colombia reaches close to 12 million bags and it represents the third highest in the world only after Brazil and Vietnam. In most cases, and due to the way property and land is structured, harvesting and post harvesting processes are carried out by the farmers themselves. Infrastructure for carrying out these processes locally varies across producers with a growing interest in technology that can provide support both production stages.

In this IAP course, small-scale coffee farmers and students from MIT and other universities in large coffee producing nations, will co-design technologies to help improve the coffee production process.

This course is offered jointly between the MIT Media Lab and the MIT D-Lab

80% of Startups fail before their second birthday. This is because people build boring "Me Too" businesses and expect the crowds to flock. According to The New York Times, we get exposed to around 5,000 sales and marketing messages every day. We live in a very noisy world full of established businesses and hungry startups all fighting for the same precious customer eyeballs. Your startup needs to STAND OUT and be different if you want it to survive and thrive.

This seminar will be presented by:

• Andrew Percey, MIT BS '95 MNG '96 EECS, Founder of Prometheus PPC, Google Ads expert and advisor to the MIT Venture Mentoring Service (VMS)
