Bootstrap or Raise: Lessons from a Founder who did Both with Arkadiumsaastr
As Silicon Valley entrepreneurs continue to launch their startups with VC funding to the tune of $15 billion in 2018, some founders are beginning to question the go big or go home model in which 90% fail or cannot justify the investments. What if disruptive companies held on to their autonomous owner’s mindset, opting for a make-money approach instead of a raise-money approach? In this session, learn how and why Arkadium’s founders decided to buy back the company from its investors in 2018. As the VC industry is poised for another record year, Co-Founder & CEO Jessica Rovello shares her philosophy that tech companies should keep their eyes on the long-term prize, leaning towards a more purpose-driven, evergreen enterprise that values its people and its independence.

Topics will include:

- How Israeli startups should go about raising capital from US-based investors. Do you even need to?

- Mistakes you can avoid if splitting your team between Israel and the US

Techstars organized a boot camp for people who served in the military. The focus is to teach / encourage veterans to think about starting or joining tech startups. This presentation is a primer on fundraising and other related items.
Investors historically sit through pitches and evaluate early stage startups on three primary metrics: 1) great looking product demos, 2) compelling presentations, and 3) a strong team. Steve Blank, the Godfather of the Lean Startup movement said in his Customer Development Manifesto: “There’s no formal way for an investor to assess project maturity or quantify risks. Other than measuring engineering progress, there’s no standard language to communicate progress.”
What has been missing is a common language to communicate objectives and data that investors and entrepreneurs can use to communicate startup readiness.
Fortunately, the principles developed in the Lean Startup movement can be utilized to help entrepreneurs assess their Investor Readiness Level in a way that allows them to demonstrate “evidence” of their readiness. In this session, Max Green and Heath Naquin, both of the IC2 Institute, will share this new method for entrepreneurs to gauge their own investor readiness using the principles of Steve Blank's Investment Readiness Level and LeanLaunchpad.
Entrepreneurs attending this session will learn a valuable approach helping their start-up team prove their competence and validate their ideas by showing investors “evidence” that there’s a repeatable and scalable business model.
Heath Naquin serves as Executive Director for the SW I-Corps Node at The University of Texas at Austin. He also serves as the Managing Director for a multi-university NSF Industry University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) the Center for Next Generation Photovoltaics. Heath was a founding member of three different start-up business initiatives across sectors. He has helped companies raise more than $30 Million in funding from private and government sources.
Heath actively works on international commercialization initiatives and efforts focusing on industry collaboration, new project development and deployment along with building linkages between industry, government, academia and the venture capital community. Heath has worked in more than 20 countries on international commercialization and entrepreneurship initiatives in countries such as Colombia, Jordan, Iraq, Korea, Mexico, Portugal, Armenia, and Turkey. Heath has extensive experience with the NSF, EPA and NIH SBIR programs as an active commercial reviewer for many years. Heath also currently serves as Faculty for the Concordia University Executive MBA program.
