Startup Factory - Building startups over and over again There are unlimited ideas out there, but way to often startups hold on to the wrong ones for two long. At Seed Nordic we’re building a factory where we play around with ideas on a weekly basis, quickly validate the best ones and aim to kill everything but the extraordinary. Listen in to learn how we implement Lean Startup and get inspired on how you can validate your ideas in real life. Bio Kenneth Hellem is an ex management consultant turned entrepreneur / investor.

Maths for Fintechs
Three highlights and directions that will, in her opinion, decide on the growth of FinTechs in Poland and in the region. They range from stimulating openness (both to go global and to encourage external minds and startups to choose our region), through connecting attitudes of boldness and humility (which allows to take risk, accept failure and officially support disruptive thinking, even disruptive to current legislation), to - last but not least - cooperation in many dimensions (between industry players, between startups and corporations, between entrepreneurs and managers).
What is Venture Capital?

What Do You Love to Do?
This document describes a creative crowd network that connects independent creatives and companies around the world through crowdsourcing projects. Creatives can work on projects together from different companies globally and benefit from business opportunities. The network is curated and selects experienced creatives to work on projects, who are then invited to pitch, provide quotes, and receive payment upon completion. To join the network, creatives fill out an online form providing their details and categories of work. The network aims to manage projects, billing, and payments so creatives can focus on being creative.

Webinar Slides: Three Levels of Business Models
This webinar discussed developing business model portfolios with three levels or types of business models. The webinar was hosted by Chris Rangen and featured special guest Rita McGrath. They discussed why companies should think in terms of business model portfolios to manage uncertainty, develop new profit engines, derisk new ventures, and create new value. Developing business model portfolios requires external orientation, curiosity, agility, new strategy tools, and courage to invest and experiment. The webinar provided tools for large-scale innovation and transformation.

О ЧЕМ НАДО ЗНАТЬ НА ЭТАПЕ ЗАПУСКА ГЛОБАЛЬНОГО СТАРТАПА
The document discusses the importance of thinking globally from the start for technology startups. It notes that 50% of professionals and 66% of engineers in Silicon Valley are born outside the US, and 45% of startups are started by people born outside the US. To be successful like Silicon Valley startups, companies need to think globally from day one by being risk-taking, collaborative, curious, and bringing unique perspectives. While going global takes commitment and patience, not doing so can result in lost revenue, competitive disadvantages, and missed opportunities for product and market development.
Casedrinnovation
The document discusses innovation in donor relations programs. It defines innovation as challenging conventional wisdom to move programs forward. The document outlines four aspects of innovation: the driver, strategy, implementation, and assessment. It provides tips for success with innovation, including having an escape plan if implementation fails and analyzing risks and benefits. The document advocates embracing failure as feedback and encouraging creative experiments and autonomy to lessen fear of innovation. It suggests applying innovation to donor relations through questioning current practices and exploring what others are doing.

Have you ever thought about how a company's core values impact hiring? In this session we will discuss how a candidate's attributes/characteristics/experiences are predictors of future performance and how to align them to core values.
Session highlights:
Why your company's core values are the link to anticipating and promoting employee performance.
How your recruiting team can quickly go from a basic interview to an elevated, value-centric interview.

Entrepreneurial Adventure
This document outlines the process of entrepreneurial adventure, including identifying an idea, acquiring necessary resources, executing the plan, and eventually exiting. It discusses factors to consider such as the type of idea, writing it down clearly, assessing feasibility, pitching it concisely, securing partners and funding, maintaining a sense of deadline, experimenting with marketing, and managing both success and failure. The key takeaway is that good execution is more important than having a great idea, and the best preparation is working for another startup to gain experience.

The Magic of Assumptions
There are no “facts” about the future. Everything we think we know about tomorrow is based on what we think we know about the world today and our assumptions of where that will likely lead. Through a process of trial and error successful project managers, software developers, testers, and analysts usually develop a heightened sense of assumption recognition. But they often don’t think consciously about the assumptions they, their colleagues, business partners, and customers are making. Consulting project manager Payson Hall argues that improving your ability to detect and make assumptions explicit is a vital career skill. Payson will lead session attendees through a series of short experiential exercises to underscore the importance of identifying assumptions to facilitate problem solving, task definition, estimation, and conflict resolution. Gain insights that you can immediately apply in the workplace to improve your productivity and decision making.
Strategic Planning: Think to Done
• Where should you start with strategic planning?

This presentation is based on a business startup training that I gave in September 2020.
AGR CONFERENCE 2013 Line managers are from mars recruiters are from venus
Line managers and recruiters have different perspectives that can influence stakeholders. To influence stakeholders effectively, one should understand organizational goals and individual drivers, link proposals to business strategy, outline recommendations clearly identifying benefits and costs while providing evidence, anticipate challenges, invite debate, and agree an action plan. Effective communication involves evaluating relationships using Powell's 5 levels from basic information exchange to establishing peak rapport.
What have Business Angels and mentors learned from entrepreneurs at EPFL ?
This was a presentation to celebrate 5 years of a Business Angel Club on EPFL Campus. We gathered 25 entrepreneurs and 250 participants on May 22nd in the Rolex Forum building. My theme was “What have we learned from innovators ? “
At EPFL, 2013 was marked by Henry Marckram’s idea of the Human Brain Project HBP, that became a Flagship European project. So the question became : "what goes in the brain of entrepreneurs ?" Are they Could it be that is "left-brained" logical, analytical and objective, or "rightbrained" - intuitive, thoughtful and subjective ?
60 mentors and investors at A3 Angels has been involved since 5 years with 30 entrepreneurs. We looked into their eyes and found 3 core values to inspires ourselves :
1. Trust (left)
2. Seriousness (left)
3. Fun (right)

Lena Reinhard - VP, Product Engineering at CircleCI
It is said that fast-growing startups are basically new companies at every new stage of growth.

Mentoring and experiential learning through activities like startup weekends and accelerators are presented as ways to help develop an entrepreneurial mindset.
CYCLES Course (1): Course Introduction
Based on 4 years of research with over 400 companies - there are companies that succeed and companies that fail. The biggest difference between winners and losers is smart winners make good, even mediocre, ideas great over time.
This lecture introduces the ABCs of Innovation
A = Alignment
B = Build ideas
C = Communicate and Check
S = Learning Systems
And explains why a systematic application of these stages of development can help you build ideas faster while reducing the risks of failure.
Frankfurt
The document provides tips for improving creativity for both personal and professional purposes. It suggests assessing your current level of creativity and noting that most people underestimate their creative abilities. It then recommends developing skills through daily practice of idea generation when exposed to new information or experiences. The use of "benign structures" is also suggested to help overcome habits that restrict new ideas. These include techniques like reverse thinking, additive thinking, and considering problems from different perspectives. Regularly capturing and sharing ideas is important as well. With consistent practice of creativity skills, one can discover their unique "creativity signature." An idea only has value if it is acted on and leads to improvement.
