Sote Innovation Fair 2018 - Recommendations from the judges Sote ICT
Short document with major recommendations for startups that competed at Sote Innovation Fair 2018 how to improve their products and find ways to reach economic viability.
This is the fifth version of Effective Innovation Canvas inspired by the feedback from John Paul Karijo and Katarina Galova. The Effective Innovation Canvas tries to define the problem, express effective Solution, describe the Capacity of the Team and provide information on how progress will be tracked in Visible Learning. Every part is divided again into four in a self-similar pattern.
Jakub Simek from Pontis Foundation and Sote Hub created the fifth version of Effective Innovation Canvas to evaluate social innovation and business ideas.
Now this version is a radical departure and revision of the concept - the original inspiration from Business Model Canvas and Lean Canvas was replaced with the powerful idea of self-similarity or fractality (describing the project in ever granular detail and length in five levels with increasing numbers of sections: 0,1,2,4,8).
Again the inspiration comes from books like Exponential Organizations, Ten Types of Innovations, Antifragile, Zero to One. And concepts like Effective Altruism, Model Thinking, Theory of Change, Game Theory and Theory of Constrains and Systemic/Pattern Thinking.
Harry Mwailengo, Sote Hub manager, prepared an annual report for Sote ICT clubs and Sote Hub and our achievements in 2017.
Sote ICT Club membership at 12 schools grew from 755 to over 1000 students.
43 teams competed in our Startup Idea Competition - we awarded 10 top ideas. We also helped teams to join StartUp Africa competition. Voi town became a place with most submissions.
Our mission is to grow startups from secondary schools in rural and small towns. We have assisted 21 startups in Sote Hub and supported 8 of them with seed funding.
We also scaled Sote Hub and Sote ICT to Kwale County.
Jakub Simek from Pontis Foundation and Sote Hub created the first draft of the Sote Talent business idea as an example and use case of our Effective Innovation Canvas. The Sote Talent idea is in early stage of consultations and prototyping. Please feel free to contribute with your comments, corrections and suggestions.
Jakub Simek from Pontis Foundation and Sote Hub created the first version of Effective Innovation Canvas to evaluate social innovation and business ideas. The inspiration comes from Business Model Canvas and Lean Canvas and is mixed with insights from Effective Altruism and social enterprise and systems change. We added other critical parts for social innovation like Team, Theory of Change and Risk and made the canvas hopefully simpler.
Christine Kambe prepared a study on 107 randomly chosen graduates of Sote ICT Program. The survey data indicate that our graduates are 3x more likely to attend college and be employed or own a business than their peers. The selection of Sote ICT club members would also need to be partially randomized to cancel the selection effect (Students who decided to join the Sote ICT Clubs might be more active or skilled than average, and their partial randomization would cancel this). But such randomization is practically difficult and randomized control trials are outside our budget scope currently. But we hope to go in this direction in near future.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
