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.
Toward a grounded theory of effective business incubation 2008Vasily Ryzhonkov
Business incubators are found all over the world. Yet, to date, no viable integrative
theory of effective business incubation exists. This essay outlines a grounded theory
of incubation, driven by case studies, empirical results, and field work, based on
three main principles that generalize across countries and cultures. They are:
• The paradox of market emulation:Successful incubators both emulate market con-ditions and shield their ‘infants’ from them. Managing this paradox is fraught
with difficulty, not the least because it is often not explicitly recognized.
• Resolving the key make-or-break constraint:In every country, there are many con-straints that hinder ultimate business success of incubator projects, but there is
one key constraint that always ‘resonates’, i.e., that dominates the attention and
concern of project managers. In India, this constraint is funding. In Israel, where
the VC industry is mature and liquid, funding is not a major constraint (though
as always and everywhere, raising money is a major challenge), but experienced
managerial capacity is the resonating factor. Hence, a theory of incubation should
include principles that guide identification of the key ‘resonating’ constraint and
provide direction toward reducing or eliminating it.
• Alignment with local and national cultures:Culture is a shared, learned, symbolic
system of values, beliefs, and attitudes that shapes and influences perception
and behaviour. Culture is how values drive behaviour. In national studies of
incubation, it is strongly evident how powerfully national culture acts as a medi-ating variable between, for instance, incubator operations and processes and the
national and global business environment. Hence, a theory of incubation should
include answers to the following question:
How can incubator processes align well with elements of national and local culture, in order
to:
• reinforce those aspects of the culture that act positively to help incubator projects
attain success
• mitigate or eliminate those aspects of culture that act negatively, and lead to
failure?
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.
BUSINESS INCUBATION AS ELEMENT OF BUSINESS SERVICE INSTITUTION AND SME DEVEL...Vasily Ryzhonkov
The core of the political and economic transformation of any country in transition (CIT) is
the creation of the private sector, the development of entrepreneurship and creation of small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). They are consideredto be one of the principal driving forces in
economic development. SMEs stimulate private ownership and entrepreneurial skills, they are
flexible and can adapt quickly to changing market demand and supply situations, they generate
employment, help diversify economic activity and make a significant contribution to exports and
trade. SMEs also play an important role in innovation and the high-tech business, due to their
flexibility and creativity many of them became large businesses. In this process emphasis should be
laid on creation of a business friendly environment in which the transformation of the society
towards a market economy should be taken place

Nowak & Grantham _ The virtual incubator managing human capital in the softwa...Vasily Ryzhonkov
In a knowledge-based economy, the creation of wealth becomes synonymous with creating products and services with large software content. However, despite a few major players, the software industry as a whole is fragmented and consists mainly of small, niche market entrepreneurial ventures. The authors study the California software industry to characterize the major barriers to success for these ventures. Simultaneously, a fundamental shift of software technology to a component-based development paradigm will reinforce the industry’s fragmented nature by fuelling a third party, independent software component economy. Coupled with the globalization of the IT industry in general, the need for startups and small companies
to form strategic partnerships will become increasingly critical to their ability to create wealth. In recent years, innovative public–private partnerships have attempted to assist startups by addressing their lack of physical resources or capital. This is best illustrated by the dramatic growth of incubators and regional capital networks. In this paper, the authors propose a ‘‘ virtual incubator’’ model to facilitate startup success and business network formation, shifting the focus to the ‘‘ virtual
value chain’’ and to connecting startups with business expertise and strategic partners in the marketplace. The authors provide a theoretical basis for the model and its implementation, important to potential investors in virtual incubators.

Early December last year, NUMA, a leading tech and innovation hub in central Paris and home to France’s first accelerator program, held its first ever European Accelerator Summit.
The Summit brought 200+ leaders from accelerators from across Europe and beyond to discuss and debate the current state and future of acceleration. Using collaborative workshops and interactive talks, the purpose of the 2-day conference was really to identify the top trends and challenges facing the accelerator sector and viable models and ideas to reinforce the future of acceleration.
Leveraging the ideas and content generated from the Summit, we’ve developed this whitepaper which focuses on what the group identified as the top trends in acceleration as well as the challenges, opportunities, and models for each.

A massive transformation is underway in the startup-funding ecosystem; the shift towards democratizing fundraising has meant that startups at every stage of the development cycle have greater access to capital than ever before. This new generation of fundraising has seen unprecedented growth of 167% in 2014, with an estimated global funding volume of $16.2billion (USD) rapidly proving to be a force capable of bridging the liquidity gap, and
reducing industry fragmentation for early stage startups.
The economic downturn of 2007 was a defining period in the fundraising ecosystem, and ultimately the marker responsible for changing the course of fundraising. Consequently, we have observed VC’s opting to de-risk their portfolios to later stage revenue generating firms, angels and super-angels are stepping in to fill the gaps where they are participating in much larger early-stage rounds, and finally, crowdfunding has seen explosive growth as an innovative new funding vehicle for very early stage startups and SMEs alike.

VR is potentially the biggest transformation of our relationship with technology at least since a personal computer.
Different and more powerful mode of interaction
Proper superset of all existing means of communication
VR will finally allow us to interact with information in a way we are built in to interact with reality!
Drives the perceptual system as its built to be driven
In the limit, its as big as reality ... or bigger
VR is inevitable. But the path it will take depends on a several thousand key people in the computer industry.
VR is how we're increasingly going to interact
eventually will drive the full capability of our perceptual system
the last platform
possibly the best opportunity for R&D in our lifetime
will likely greatly change the relationship between human and technology
The rise of VR & AR era. Why this time is different?Vasily Ryzhonkov
When Facebook bought virtual reality company Oculus in early 2014, virtual reality blew up. While game and movie studios began reimagining the future, others looked back at the "old days" of VR — a loosely remembered period in the 1990s when gloves and goggles were super cool and everyone was going to get high on 3D graphics.
Computer enthusiasts and science fiction writers have dreamed about VR for decades. But earlier attempts to develop it, especially in the 1990s, were disappointing. It turns out the technology wasn’t ready yet. What’s happening now — because of Moore’s Law, and also the rapid improvement of processors, screens, and accelerometers, driven by the smartphone boom — is that VR is finally ready to go mainstream. Now, we’re in the midst of a virtual reality revolution.
So the question I want to pose here – is this time different?
Are we going to this future or it’s only media hype?

Анализ рынка дополненной и виртуальной реальности в России:
структуры рынка, основных игроков, тенденций и ключевых фактов,
влияющих на его развитие.
Методология исследования:
анкетирование участников рынка - более 60 компаний
исследование за столом - поиск и анализ данных из открытых
источников: анонсы, интервью и пресс - релизы игроков рынка
исследования по теме AR & VR
Ограничения исследования:
По оценкам авторов исследования удалось охватить около 70% рынка. В этой связи не все компании из сферы AR&VR представлены в отчете.
Не все компании открывали данные по средней выручке и числу сделок, в этой связи полученные данные по объему рынка представляются авторам не достаточными для приведения количественных оценок. Следующий отчет предполагает иную методику исследования
James Glattfelder studies complexity: how an interconnected system — say, a swarm of birds — is more than the sum of its parts. And complexity theory, it turns out, can reveal a lot about how the economy works. Glattfelder shares a groundbreaking study of how control flows through the global economy, and how concentration of power in the hands of a shockingly small number leaves us all vulnerable.
What may happen in the next hundred years by John Watkins 1900Vasily Ryzhonkov
In 1900, Smithsonian Institution curator John Elfreth Watkins wrote an article for The Ladies’ Home Journal, entitled “What May Happen in the Next Hundred Years,” filled with predictions that many of his readers probably scoffed at as ridiculously improbable. Indeed, Watkins was pretty far off about some things. He predicted, for example, that the letters ‘C,’ ‘X’ and ‘Q’ would vanish from the alphabet, streets would be relocated underground, and farms would grow strawberries as large as apples. But what’s more impressive is the extent to which Watkins’ vision of the future actually has come to pass — wireless phone networks on which a person in New York could talk to another in China, live TV images being transmitted around the globe, MRI machines, aerial warfare, and high-speed trains traveling between cities at 150 miles per hour. Watkins even predicted the food trucks that have become a fad worldwide.
The roots of futures thinking – the imaging in human minds of the future – can be traced back to the beginnings of human societies. The formalized study of futures came much later, but it can be said that the most advanced civilizations tended to project their thinking and utilize basic methods of planning and foresight. Greek philosopher Plato developed the concept of an ideal society with perfect justice in "The Republic," and his vision inspired millions of thinkers to imagine the future.

Business Valuation Principles for EntrepreneursBen Wann
This insightful presentation is designed to equip entrepreneurs with the essential knowledge and tools needed to accurately value their businesses. Understanding business valuation is crucial for making informed decisions, whether you're seeking investment, planning to sell, or simply want to gauge your company's worth.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

13. Why (Venture) Capital is important? –
WHAT of the “Access to Capital” problem
Venture capital has enabled the United States to support its entrepreneurial talent and appetite
by turning ideas and basic science into products and services that are the envy of the world.
Venture capital funds build companies from the simplest form–perhaps just the entrepreneur
and an idea expressed as a business plan – to freestanding, mature organizations
Venture Capital Association, the industry’s main lobbyist, claims a study it sponsored shows
that venture-backed companies from 1970–2005 accounted for 10 million jobs and $2.1 trillion
in revenues by 2005, as well as representing 17 percent of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP)*.
Top-tier VC funds dominate in the West as VC consolidation continues Global “dry powder” is
US$117.7 billion (capital committed to VC firms but not invested yet) and remains at a level
similar to the past few years, as VCs invest at a pace that is reflected by their fund-raising
volume**.
