Shakn è il progetto vincitore dell'edizione di Lean Startup Machine che si è svolta nello spazio Copernico di Milano nel 2016 (vedi link).

L'idea di Shakn nasce dal desiderio di trasformare gli spazi di coworking in veri e propri luoghi di riferimento nel quale poter fare networking "verticale" (ad esempio sapere con anticipo che in un determinato luogo troverai più developers e in un altro più appassionati di marketing, ecc..), introducendo il concetto di "networking geolocalizzato".

Quello di Shakn è stato un piccolo capitolo del mio percorso professionale, che mi ha permesso di instaurare relazioni significative con professionisti del mondo HR con i quali sono tutt'oggi in contatto e di comprendere le dinamiche relative al business design e alla nascita di una startup. 

Come designer, il mio contributo è stato focalizzato sulla realizzazione del logo, dei materiali grafici di base (brand guidelines, presentazioni, immagini) per poter supportare il team distribuito tra Milano, Padova e Venezia.

Il team:
Cristina Recenti, Riccardo Paloppi, Marcello Bellani, Roberto Pezza, Marco Dussin, Ivano Masiero.

Il progetto, nonostante la partecipazione all'acceleratore Innovits (MIP Politecnico di Milano) e l'interesse di numerosi partner (Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia), si è interrotto nel 2017.
