The document discusses reasons for mergers and acquisitions (M&A). It notes acquirers seek to achieve goals like increasing revenue, users, products, and international reach through tactics like buying, building, or partnering with other companies. Key factors for M&A include acquiring a company's management/engineering team and revenue/cash flow. Valuation often focuses on creating enterprise value by complementing an existing product suite, especially for enterprise software which can plug into a buyer's distribution.

The future of business will be defined by open permission for employees to act, many paths for communication, and platforms that facilitate collaboration both internally and externally.

- Focus on practical and counterintuitive ideas in large addressable markets. Successful startups often began as hobbies.
- Compress your working life into 4 intense years of high productivity and risk, deferring compensation for potential high rewards.
- Find a co-founder who is determined and willing to do any job required without needing management.

Day 2: Listen Learn Adapt
This document discusses applying a "listen, learn, adapt" approach to social media implementation for nonprofits. It emphasizes the importance of listening to online conversations, learning from qualitative and quantitative data, and being willing to adapt social media strategies based on insights gained. Specific tips include researching best practices before launching initiatives, regularly reflecting on results to identify areas for improvement, and viewing the process as one of continuous learning and evolution rather than seeing mistakes as failures. Case studies from the American Red Cross and Humane Society of the United States demonstrate how listening to feedback helped strengthen engagement and relationships with stakeholders.
Creating Value With Social Media
Markets are conversation, yes it's true. But we don't go here through the eternal mantra of social media and conversations. Instead, we evaluate social media through the lens of the value chain concept, contaminating a managerial vision born in the 80's with the new collaborative wisdom.

Some of the biggest causes of a game studio to fail include: a demotivated and/or burned out team, lack of funds, legal trouble, not seeing the problems ahead, a neglected game and/or audience, internal arguments and publishing problems. At the start of January 2014, Critical Force Entertainment based of Kajaani, Finland had every single one of those challenges one way or another. This talk is intended to share the insights, learned lessons and best practices of how we succeeded through failing endlessly, even with a game that had a huge audience which we sadly never managed to properly monetize and the stigma of being a 'cloner'. Regardless of that, being creative and coming up with solutions to our problems on a step-by-step basis got us to become strong than we ever thought we could be. The main focus of this talk is on sharing our story of performing a complete startup turnaround regardless of the relative success we've had with our games. Topics include:
Team Culture
- we were lacking a defined team culture, so we decided to completely fix that Product management
- we never had anybody focus on this, now we do Legal Concerns
- we were facing 300+ websites that iframed our game from Kongregate, we show how we turned this into profit Funding
- we were making money, but didn't properly manage our budget.
Titanic Effect
- we were focusing too much on growing quantity instead of improving quality Community
- we had neglected our audience, now we're going to leverage them Partnerships
- finding the right partners to work with has saved us a lot of hassle for a worth-while share of our revenues.
We will be sharing concrete examples of how we tackled the above topics and will provide various forms of data, references, tips, best practices and learned lessons. Part of these can be found in the attached presentation draft.
Intended audience & prerequisites: Mostly intended for small-medium sized independent developers or developers intending to start their own company.
Session takeaways: We want developers to walk away with a new toolkit that allows them to see opportunity in every bit of adversity that might cross their path. Our story is but one of many, but will illustrate some of the most fundamentally necessary mindsets, perspectives and attitudes that developers can adopt to turn the biggest failure into something useful.

Why you shouldn't use social media for AGX
I try to change companies to be less about ads and more about acts. Through inspiration. Through strategy. Through coaching. And mainly blood, sweat and tears. Because in these times, brands aren't defined by what they say, but what they do. Not convinced? Let my acts speak for themselves.

Startupfest 2019 - Content is literally everything
Jane Hu (Founder, Nonesuch Media)
An early stage startup has an ever-growing and never-shrinking list of priorities vying for time and attention. Product, recruiting, fundraising, go-to-market, user acquisition, business model, etc. But one priority that is often overlooked is content. Content is more than just marketing, more than just a couple of blog posts written as an afterthought for your prospective launch. Let’s get to the core of why content is indispensable, learn how the best traditional content companies in the world operate, and distill it down to what you can do right now to tell your own compelling story.
Startupfest 2019 - The technology of better humans
Chris Messina (Hashtag Inventor, Product Designer)
After 15 years designing technology products in Silicon Valley, I noticed that something essential has been missing. In our race to make the world more logical and programmable — including our social connections — we’ve reduced the rich tapestry of human experience beyond recognition.
And given the crisis of unintended consequences that we’re now forced to cope with thanks to the swift rise of social media mixing with legacy human attitudes and behaviors, I’ve come to believe that if we don’t address it now, the artificial intelligences of the future will be far worse for us than today’s primitive social products have proven to be.
I therefore propose that we set ourselves upon creating the technology of better humans — that is, of investing in and creating better versions of ourselves. Since it will be us — or our children — who will build the next generation Alexas and Siris, the only way to bring about the future that we deserve and desire is to start now.
The good news is, some of us have already started and joining in may be easier than you think.

Raising capital is a discipline that when mastered can fuel a startup’s potential; and when ignored, can doom a venture before it starts. Contrary to most of what a young entrepreneur reads, there is a method to the madness of fundraising… and it involves a great deal more than just a pitch deck.
This talk will cover revealing topics such as the “the 28 questions all investors ask” and what represents a “minimum viable investor funnel” providing the audience with frameworks from which to construct a professional fundraise no matter if your startup is barely off the ground or well beyond product-market-fit.

Startupfest 2019 - Building a Disruptive Startup Ecosystem
This document discusses building disruptive startup ecosystems and outlines key metrics for Montreal's ecosystem. It notes that 5 of the top 10 largest companies globally are from tech startup ecosystems, demonstrating their economic impact. However, Montreal captures only 0.17% of global exit value and its startup ecosystem suffers from a seed funding gap, lack of global connections for founders, and low foreign customer sales compared to other cities. The document argues that significantly more investment is needed to support Montreal's "keystone team" and fix issues like angel funding and global reach in order to build a strong, job-creating startup engine for the future.

This document provides tips for startups on structuring their company and deciding whether to take investment money. It discusses types of investors like angels, VCs, and the differences between them. It warns that VCs need high returns which can impact a company's goals.
