Misconception: We used to think that learning business and
management would help technology innovators
Reading	
business	cases	
studies	on	
innovation
Management	
practices	and	
financial	statements
Making	a	
presentation	to	
raise	funds
Studying	
business	
frameworks
Making	a	
business

Waiting	for	
a	great	
idea
6	things	are not	the	main	ingredient	to	deploy	innovation	or	
start	ventures.

Our	model	has	adapted:	
Business	training	is	not	
the	only	key	element
Our	effectiveness	formula	is:
• Depth	in	an	valued	area
• Entrepreneurial	“behaviors	
and	mindset”
Our	programs	and	projects	
provide	this.
Our model has
adapted: Business
training is not the key
element
Skill	in	a	Core	Area
Innovation	Behaviors	and	Mindset
“Psychology	of	Innovation”

The Greater Silicon Valley: An Innovation Accelerator
My other perspective is
Silicon Valley
Ikhlaq	Sidhu,	content	author
Silicon Valley – What is it like?
• Approx.	6M	people	
• 400,000+	tech	jobs	(~25%	of	the	work	force)	
• More	millionaires	&	billionaires	per	capita	than	anywhere	else	in	US	and	Europe	
• Thousands	of	experienced	entrepreneurs.
• 50%	of	all	venture	investing	in	the	US
• 2,000+	angel	investors,	29	of	the	100	largest	US	companies	have	HQ	in	SV	
• Decisions	are	made	at	lightning	speed
• Follow	up	in	hours,	not	days	or	weeks
