GO BIG
Sometimes it takes a global pandemic to shake you from your routine and drive you to ask, “What do I really want to do with my life?” For the newly minted entrepreneurs and self-driven creators born in the covid era, the answer to this question has been: “To do my own thing.” From ideating the Next Big Thing in tech to unexpected passion projects coming to life, “Go Big” is a social media series by @trivago that explores the stories of those determined to start when the world around them has stopped.
But why trivago?
With hacker roots and unshakable startup culture, we, at trivago, know what it takes to boldly go after what we believe in. Through a series of inspiring conversations and in the midst of strict lockdown in Germany, we shined the light on those who harvested the lemons of 2020 to make damn good lemonade, pursuing new ideas and encouraging everyone to go big even when they couldn’t go far.
Big ambitions. Big giveaway.
After being inspired by the creators and entrepreneurs we had interviewed for the series, we had decided to reward one of them with $5000 grant. A small stipend, if you will, to help fuel their ambitions even further. It’s remarkable how a meek social media campaign evolved into something tangibly meaningful.
EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
Supplementing the video series is our magazine coverage with the creators, which we’d linked to from our social media accounts. Their stories are genuinely worth a read, so feel free to explore their initiatives, principally how they’d succeed to go big when they couldn’t go far.
