This document discusses how the way people work is evolving, with the rise of coworking spaces, incubators, and accelerators. It notes that coworking spaces allow individuals from different organizations to work alongside each other, sharing values and benefiting from synergies. Incubators provide targeted resources like mentors and sometimes funding to startups, often taking an equity stake. Accelerators invest capital and provide a short-term structured program to help startups succeed and "graduate". The document suggests entrepreneurs consider their needs for space, capital, talent, and influence to determine what type of program or workspace would best suit their goals and stage of development.

Primer on raising seed capital for first time and experienced startup founders and employees. In this slideshare, I provide insight into the following questions:
-What is seed capital?
-Why should I raise?
-What is the current state of the seed market.
-Who invets in startups?
-How do I prepare?
-What is the close process?
-What are some useful resources?
An incredibly powerful and often underutilized resource within business incubation community is the Small Business Development Center (SBDC). Deploying an SBDC analyst with a strong technical education/background as an onsite business counselor in an incubator as well as the development of a jointly-operated student incubator presents a tremendous opportunity to amplify both programs.
This presentation offers insight on how to maximize the impact of both a business incubation program and a Small Business Development Center by establishing a robust partnership between the organizations that benefits of the business and entrepreneurial community.

The 2016 Top 50 Tech Pioneers, Australia and New ZealandH2 Ventures
We are pleased to present the inaugural ‘Tech Pioneers Report’, which showcases the most exciting and pioneering startups from Australia and New Zealand. These are the companies at the leading edge of the ‘ideas boom’ and the drivers of the economy of the future.
The Tech Pioneers 50 are those companies using technology to the best advantage and driving disruption within a variety of industries and sectors. These companies have a commitment
to excellence, superior customer experience and a demonstrated ability to do one thing in a market better than anyone else.
The process for selecting the top 50 pioneers involved a wide search for pioneering companies to create a comprehensive list that was then ranked based on 5 factors: total capital raised, rate of capital raising, location and degree of sub industry disruption and the judging panel’s subjective rating of the degree of product, service, customer experience and business model innovation. A formula was then used to combine this data and determine the overall ranking.
The report has been prepared by H2 Ventures, one of Australia’s leading venture capital firms, with the support of Investec Australia, a distinctive specialist lender and asset manager.

Virtual Business Incubator Framework for Enriching Innovation Ecosystem 2013Vasily Ryzhonkov
The main purpose of this work is to find possible solutions for overcoming challenges of existing business incubation models. The end goal is to provide practitioners with the model of economic development tool which will help them to build new generation of business incubators, e.g. to guide management teams, policy makers, entrepreneurs and educators in establishing a successful business incubation program (BIP). Eventually the model intends to expand the limits of existing business incubation models.
One third of the US workforce is currently comprised of Independent Workers - those who work for themselves (usually from home or coffee shops) as freelancers, independent contractors, consultants, and more. Experts predict that by the year 2020 over 50% of the US workforce will be Independent Workers. This begs the question, where will all of these Independent Workers work from? And that's where a whole new world and professional lifestyle - in fact a movement - called "coworking" comes in. Here's a look at NYC, one of the most dynamic hubs it's taking root in, and a fresh and fun new way for people to begin to connect and cowork for themselves.
Fundraising as Main Problem for Entrepreneur 2012Vasily Ryzhonkov
1. What is the main bottleneck in startups funding?
2. How much venture and angel capital do we have available in the world? What is the demand for it?
3. Do all early-stage entrepreneurs have sufficient access to capital?
4. Could we change situation with financing not 1% of entrepreneurs, but more? If yes, how?
These questions and many others have been answered in current presentation. Careful analysis and research of VC industry have been done to guide audience through the early-stage entrepreneurs' main problem - ACCESS to CAPITAL.
The global economy demands a style of work that starts with connected, shared work environments and independent activity. Unlike in a typical local office or business, those in this economy are rarely employed by the same organization or found in the same place.
Such work environments must learn from our evolution of work spaces and the increasing demand for coworking; and therein, foster people who share values, and who are interested in the synergy that can happen when like-minded, talented people work together. Only then, with truly global collaboration enabled, can we innovate and scale new ventures at a rate never seen before.

Will your firm thrive or just survive? Anticipation - The critical competency...Tom Hood, CPA,CITP,CGMA
Today, the world of professional education, and accordingly the accounting profession, is migrating toward a competencies-based learning approach. But what are the most critical competencies for practitioners and firms to thrive in today’s ever changing, fast paced business environment?
Research from the Business Learning Institute identified the Top 5 Competencies for CPAs, accounting and financial professionals as:
1. Strategic & Critical Thinking
2. Communication
3. Anticipating and serving evolving needs
4. Inspiring and motivating others
5. Collaboration and mobilizing consensus
In addition, research from CPA.COM shows that only 8% of CPAs are future ready. Future Ready is the Is the capacity to be ANTICIPATORY (aware, predictive and adaptive) of emerging technology and trends in business, demographics, and the social environment impacting your organization and industry.
Together this group of skills and competencies have been researched with a leading global futurist who has put together an innovative learning system, the Anticipatory Organization: Accounting and Finance Edition which is being used to transform firm cultures to build and enhance proactive business advisor skills.
Most of us wish we had the power to predict future trends, and would benefit by learning tactics to do so. Daniel Burrus is one of the world’s leading technology forecasters and innovation experts and the featured keynoter speaker at this year’s DCPA16. He is globally recognized for his exceptional 30+ year record of accurately predicting how technological, social, and business forces converge to create untapped opportunities.
Joey Havens, Executive Partner at Horne, LLP (A top 50 CPA Firm) discusses how he has used the Anticipatory Organization as a foundational learning system throughout his firm. He is requiring his whole firm of 400+ professionals to take this and running collaboration sessions by practice areas to create group learning and a shared language around anticipatory thinking that is being applied inside the firm and outside with clients.
This presentation is from the July 20th, 2016 webcast by CPA.COM. CPA.com President and CEO, Erik Asgeirsson as he discusses the critical Anticipatory competency with Daniel Burrus, HORNE LLP executive partner Joey Havens and the CEO of the Maryland Association of CPAs and the Business Learning Institute, Tom Hood.

As entrepreneurs, founders, consultants, and freelance professionals, our understanding of where we work is critical to knowing the market in which we find ourselves, the culture and work ethic of professionals therein, and why you have a role.
These are the slides that accompany a Freelance Conference talk about Why Where Matters. Article and talking points: http://seobrien.com/why-where-matters
Having been a part of, easily, over 100 venture pitches, it’s hard not to put myself in the shoes of the venture capitalist; listening to entrepreneurs talk about their ventures as though I intend to invest more than I could possibly manage.
The marketer in me, having listened to far more startup pitches than I’ve given, can’t help but pattern match; taking data in in order to optimize the performance of that with which I’m working.
And thus, having socialized this idea countless times, it seemed clear that it was time to put pen to paper and share with you what comes of a marketer listening to pitches, and an investor giving them: how to give the perfect fund raising pitch.

Marketing for Startups: Read notes and talking points at http://seobrien.com/entre-internet-marketing-startups
Wade through the clutter, set up, simplify, draw some assumptions, and know what to ask, far too many entrepreneurs fail to appreciate the significance of which Google Analytics can answer nearly all of the questions you have as an early stage venture, and validate your business in ways far more valuable than acquiring a customer. Namely: How to scale. Here's how.
For more detail, visit: http://seobrien.com/google-analytics-startups
“What’s your exit strategy?” “Come back when you have revenue.” “Are you lean?” “What’s the business model?”
Raising capital is less about the answers to such questions and instead, having the passion for and ambition to not take no for an answer, networking, networking, networking, creating excitement and engagement, and knowing your audience (no, not your customers: the investors). When you know your market and the stage in which you find yourself, there are a common set of expectations for your business such that raising capital is as simple as ensuring you’ve met those expectations, knowing how to tell your story, and recognizing that no two VCs think nor angel investors alike. Let’s talk about how to do that and how to get ready for the different expectations of different investor communities.

10. Coworking is the startup
garage of the future
Paul O'Brien; Growth Hacker
@seobrien | 512-944-0007 | paul@seobrien.com
11. Coworking is a style of work that involves a
shared working environment, often an
office, and independent activity. Individuals
are usually not employed by the same
organization.
Coworking enables a group of people who
share values, and who are interested in
the synergy that can happen from working
with like-minded, talented people, in the
same space.

13. What makes an Incubator different?
Accelerate the successful development of startup and
fledgling companies by providing entrepreneurs with an
array of targeted resources and services.
Principal mentor provided
Services developed and managed by
Resources networked, vetted, and perhaps funded
Space available, generally at low/no cost
Working or seed capital occasionally available
Paul O'Brien; Growth Hacker
@seobrien | 512-944-0007 | paul@seobrien.com
14. What makes an Incubator different?
1. Cost: Incubators usually free / Coworking space is not
2. Commitment: Incubators align with a schedule
3. Guidance: Incubators provide mentors and services
4. Equity: 5-15% generally goes to an Incubator
5. Networking: Formal vs. informal
6. Staff: Coworking is casual but individuals therein prof.
7. Philosophy: Incubators & industry / Coworking & culture

15. An accelerator takes single-digit chunks of
equity in externally developed ideas in
return for small amounts of capital and
mentorship. They’re generally truncated into
a three to four month program at the end of
which the start-ups 'graduate'

16. What makes an Accelerator different?
Accelerators have a stake in your success and focus
your attention, and their resources, on the success of a
specific objective
Principal mentors provided
Program developed and executed by
Resources networked, vetted, and funded
Space available, generally at low/no cost
Capital invested

17. What makes an Accelerator different?
1. Cost: Accelerators invest
2. Commitment: Accelerators demand focus
3. Guidance: Structured program that delivers results
4. Equity: Generally less than that of an Incubator
5. Networking: Formal, programmed
6. Staff: Actively involved
7. Philosophy: Success from our respective investment

18. “If you don’t live in the Silicon Valley, you might not know why so
many successful firms like Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Apple
start or relocate here. The compelling reason is because of the
energy and the competition that exists when so many smart and
innovative people work and interact in a relatively small geographic
space... Obviously having so many great firms so close together also
creates intense wars for talent but that one detrimental factor is more
than overcome by the positive value of the competition felt with
employees from other firms.
The same can be said for the increased creativity that firms find by
locating in major arts and entertainment areas like New York City
and Los Angeles. The same increase in innovation and ideagenerating can occur using “corporate coworking” when your
employees are co-located with strangers from startups and other
corporations.”

19. The big question is: What do you need?
Entrepreneurs require space, capital, talent, mentorship, & influence
Two questions that matter
Do we have enough of a product or
service developed to start talking?
How distractible are we?
Paul O'Brien; Growth Hacker
@seobrien | 512-944-0007 | paul@seobrien.com
20. Evolve the way you work
Incubators
Substantial equity-based rent but offer complementary/discounted services
Work around other entrepreneurs, but not necessarily co-work
Usually an industry focus (biotech or CPG, for instance)
Capital, mentorship, and influence will vary greatly
Coworking spaces
Cash-based rent; substantially cheaper than office space
Work alongside other people and organizations
Usually more peer-to-peer mentorship and greater access to talent
Good co-working spaces tend to attract investors and mentors
Accelerators
Seed-like investment for an appropriate equity stake
Program-based and time-specific
A system designed to deliver necessary elements and results
Usually far more organization, but once graduated, that scales back
