We've all heard about hugely successful crowdfunding campaigns on Kickstarter, GoFundMe, AngelList and other platforms (Coolest, Potato Salad, 7 Cups of Tea,Shyp) but we've also heard about the big campaigns that didn't go quite as planned (Zach Braff's "Wish I Was Here", MyIDKey). Crowdfunding is one of those activities that you really don't want to jump into without having a full understanding of the opportunities and risks involved.
At this highly interactive session on the Austin campus of IBM Innovation Center, our panel of experts provided an insider's view of crowdfunding (from the investor and entrepreneur perspective) and led a lively discussion about rewards-based and equity crowdfunding.
This was the takeaway from the session:
understanding the difference between rewards vs equity
knowing how to avoid epic crowdfunding disasters
learning what a successful campaign looks like
connections with crowdfunding experts
introduction to new funding portals
a "roadmap" for selecting the right portal
a crowdfunding "handbook"
the ultimate crowdfunding "cheat sheet"

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
