Grow Sustainably and Wow Investors: Smart Marketing for Early Stage Startupsligaya tichy
From SEO/SEM and Content/Social to Distribution partnerships and PR it can be challenging for startups to determine which marketing channel is worth valuable time and resources.
Using an approach I call "Stage Theory" this presentation explores which tactics to employ at various stages of a startup's development.

A response to an invitation to speak at American UnderGround on behalf of Google Code 2040 and others for Black Wall Street Homecoming 2015. Herein, I strive to give young companies insight they won’t be able to afford until they mature meaningfully; in a sense, open-sourcing the toolkit of persuasion that the ad industry and other seasoned persuaders hold so close.
Funding Options at Harvard iLab
Are you thinking about what you need to fund your company? Where do you start? Funding is not one size fits all. Every company has to approach their pathway to funding with a unique approach. Join our fundraising experts for an in depth discussion of what options you have for funding and how to decide which paths are right for you and your company. Topics covered will include investment criteria, time to closing, investment range, success rates, control features, compliance requirements and the overall costs of capital from each such source.

The Difference Between Your Project Succeeding or Burning To A Crisp Is Actua...Alan Quayle
The Difference Between Your Project Succeeding or Burning To A Crisp Is Actually You.
Dan Jenkins, Founder at Nimble Ape & Director at CommCon Events
TADSummit EMEA Americas 2020
For far too long Open Source projects have been getting in their own way; with no marketing budget to shout the loudest it’s always an uphill battle to get their fair share of the marketplace. But ultimately, we as Open Source project owners and maintainers are the problem.
We need to start thinking about Open Source projects as Products and Services that need to be promoted in their own right. It’s no longer good enough to just have a project website with a wiki and a download link. It’s up to us to sell our love for our creations and make others see the advantages of using them. We need to get out of our own way and show the world what Open Source can do for them and right now we’re failing. Join us to find out what you can do to get out of your own way and succeed.
Webinar: Continuous Deployment with MongoDB at KitchensurfingMongoDB
Continuous Deployment is gaining popularity with companies like Facebook and Etsy, but its successful implementation creates technical challenges and will require any team to make workflow changes. Learn how Kitchensurfing switched to continuous deployments and how they’ve grown from one deploy a week to 10+ deploys a day with zero downtime and zero worries, thanks to MongoDB. Hear about their workflow, the tools they use, and how they manage communication with product owners to make sure everyone is always in the loop.

Building a (Mobile-Web) Start-up: the 2011 wayBernard Leong
Delivered on 25 April for Rotary Club, Tanglin
Synopsis: The era of business plans and presentations to raise money for mobile-web tech start-up ideas is over. In Silicon Valley, the venture incubator, Y-Combinator led by Paul Graham together with the business angels there have crushed the old school way of building an internet start-up by three core concepts: agile, iterate & pivot. In this talk, we examine how these three core concepts are applied in practice by examining the case studies of the latest and hottest of start-ups in US: Facebook, Twitter, Groupon and FourSquare.
A presentation given at Web 2.0 Expo 2011 in San Francisco, CA, on March 30, 2011.
A year has passed since the release of Apple’s iPad, and with it, new opportunities for developers, content publishers, and entrepreneurs, have clearly emerged. We now have a proven market for a third type of mobile, Internet-enabled device – more intimate than a laptop and more expansive than a smartphone. In a follow-up to his 2010 Web 2.0 Expo talk, “iPad: Mobile Computing Redefined,” Raven looks back on the first year of the iPad – its successes and failings, as well as a look forward to Apple’s new hardware and software technologies and their inevitable impact on the market. 2011 will be an even bigger year for the consumer tablet sector, with additional hardware players, continued app and services innovation, and a more mainstream, global market for these devices.
My presentation at the inaugural Edge of the Web conference in Perth, Western Australia on 6 November 2008.
An introduction to Enterprise 2.0/Web 2.0 and then a look at business benefits plus a very quick look at a couple of case studies.
It shares significant content with my earlier E2.0 talk, but is tighter and more focused.

IBM mainframe sales reps and distributors don't enjoy the pleasures and satisfaction of the whole
world's anticipation, speculation, or even the organized illicit intelligence gathering, which seems to be
common in Apple's i-world these days. There was a time, beyond the memories of most of the IT
community, when they did, but the world has changed and new technologies have driven the focus to a
broader audience that is less sophisticated in many respects. As a consequence, the “fun stuff” has shifted
a good deal from what's the biggest and fastest, toward what is the latest, and usually smaller, innovation
– the new gotten have. Computing, if you will, now is more personal and portable. Does anyone care
what all this stuff is connected to and what holds it together anymore? Not so much, apparently.

Mobile Startups - Why to focus on mobile?Teemu Kurppa
Why mobile is an interesting opportunity for startups: AppStore and it's rivals are offering both distribution and small payment solutions.
Simple solutions for small payments do not exists in web, thus mobile can offer an interesting possibility to test new (old) business models.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery.

I've been surprised again and again by just how much more important persistence is than raw intelligence.

“ I've been surprised again and again by just how much

“ I'm continually surprised by how long everything
can take. Assuming your product doesn't
experience the explosive growth that very few
products do, everything from development to
dealmaking seems to take 2-3x longer than I
always imagine.

“ It is never a single thing. Everything is just
incremental and you just have to keep doing lots of
those things until you strike something.
