This presentation will introduce you to the fundamentals of raising capital for venture builders, startup studios. Compared to raising capital for a single startup, the fundraising process is more challenging. Because you are raising money for an organization that will be active participant in building up an entire batch or batches of startups. So you have to show to your investors that you have:
+ A studio leadership team with the power to build an entire portfolio of ventures;
+ The right financial-organizational structure that matches the goals;
+ A coherent vision and venture building thesis;
+ Viability of your approach supported by benchmarks;
+ Strong portfolio of startups and ideas in your pipeline.
This presentation will help you understand the basics of how to build up your fundraising approach.
If you need more help, reach out and I will guide you in:
+ Structuring your venture builder and fundraising strategy;
+ Assess your current material and identify gaps and risks;
+ Preparing for a successful investor meeting;

How to Pitch Your Startup by Edith YeungEdith Yeung
There is "no love at first sight" in startup pitching. An investor will not, cannot, and would never invest in you the first time they meet you. At this talk, Edith covers:
* What do investors want?
* What do founders want?
* What should a founder say and do in the first pitch?
Lessons we learned from designing 30+ pitch decksVisual Hackers
Everyone has their own way of communicating and this is reflected in the way they formulate their pitch deck structure. In all these journeys, we’ve learned a series of lessons that we want to share with you today, based on real-life decks we've helped build.

The Minimum Viable Product (or MVP) is the first shippable version of a product containing purely core features, distributed as a test release in order to create useful feedback for the most basic features. Planning for a MVP release requires the Product Owner to know how to organize and prioritize a dense backlog of features, but in an agile environment with a diverse team and uniquely talented vendors we posit they need not do it alone.
Different lenses for knowing what MVP means to your internal and external team so you can know if you are building the right thing.
What must the MVP consist of to be meaningful to the target user? What’s the best way to phase out the release of everything else? What can be cut completely? Basic agile/lean design project management techniques. Important conflict resolution and emotional management techniques. How to sell it with a "Flexible Scope Retainer".

Confitura 2013 Software Developer Career UnpluggedWojciech Seliga
My take of our challenging life of a software developer, typical misconceptions, myths and also great things, those which are important. I shared it (in Polish) in Warsaw at Confitura 2013.
Slides from a presentation I gave at VC CEO portfolio summit on Unlearning as we scale enterprise software startups focusing on how to think about the "next-level people" and "dance with who brung ya" adages along with thoughts on generalizing the former adage, hiring next-level people, and unlearning in general, specifically with infering false causality for success.
A preview of Pitching Hacks (How to pitch investors).
We’ve founded companies like Epinions; helped start companies that are backed by Sequoia, Benchmark, and Kleiner Perkins; raised $100M or so for startups; and invested another $20M in about 12 companies. This book summarizes the lessons we've learned along the way.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Bifurcated fundings - can’t raise money until you’re suddenly oversubscribed.\nIt’s an emotional decision, so you often get funded on the basis of your single best attribute\nNot like college where they weigh everything equally.\nLooking for that one thing that makes you the best in the world\n
It’s like the number of times a song gets played. No average outcome - statistically meaningless. Because of network effects, leverage. Winner take all. Graph is of book popularity, only of top 5K books!\n
