Mesto is a relatively new entrant (2011) in the emerging market of the Ukraine. It is taking on several well established incumbents and making great progress. This session looks at the lessons learned by Mesto.
In all markets, the online classifieds segment is highly competitive. The advertiser has significantly more choice than they did in the past. There are dedicated vertical sites (for cars, jobs and homes) as well as general classifieds sites (horizontal) that service all markets. Is this a winner take all market or is there room for both horizontal and vertical players. Simon Baker, the Chairman of the Mitula Group and former CEO/MD of the REA Group in Australia, will discuss what the likely outcome is by looking at what is happing in the highly competitive online real estate segment.

Big data and predictive analytics
Technological progress has made big data ready to shake up the portal and real estate industry. It is about transforming the business models and processes of all participants, such as agents, buyers, sellers, portals in the real estate space. It is the differentiating factor for developers in highly competitive markets. Big data combined with social media and bots it provides a winning formula to those who embrace it.

One third of all foreclosures in the United States fall into bankruptcy. Most are snatched up by institutional investors or sold via pool sales and very few make it through to the home buyer. It can also take years to go through the process.
BankruptcyListings.com works directly with the bankruptcy trustees through our parent company BK Global. The properties go through a 3-Step process. In Review, Coming Soon and For Sale. This unique pre-marketing technique is proving very valuable in selling these properties. Several of the top US banks have already signed up and we have roughly 100k properties in pipeline.
This session looks at how the team at Foreclosure.com has launched BankruptcyListings.com and is tackling this opportunity in the US market.
Property portals around the world have ready access to a vast range of information on home sales and rental prices. From these, it is possible to create a series of market indices that can track the performance of a market.
ZAP in Brazil has partnered with FIPE (Institute of Economic Research Foundation) to create a series of FipeZAP indices covering sales and rentals. This session looks at how they approached this and the lesson learned in building these indices.
Placert is a Dutch company focused on using social media to market properties. On average over 60,000 Dutch are being marketed on social media through their platform. This session will look at what works and doesn’t work in using social media as a marketing channel.
Changing Nature of the Online Real Estate Market and Who to Watch and Learn FromProperty Portal Watch
The online real estate marketing world is rapidly changing. General classified sites are taking on the verticals (and winning), business models are changing, sites are trying to participate in the transaction stream, niche sites are emerging, plus much much more. This session looks at some of the changes that are happening in online real estate marketing and (from my perspective) identifies the top 10 property portals and what we can learn from them.

Research project on investing in consumer brands and companies Saar Gur
For a long time, I have been fascinated by how successful companies build consumer brands across tech, consumer products and yogurt :-)
This summer, I worked with Matt Heiman on a research project to do a deeper dive into consumer investments across a wider range of industries than tech.
Ultimately as a VC, we are in the business of funding outliers. And we can point to huge outliers across a number of categories including low margin businesses (walmart/costc0), consumer hardware (fitbit), etc. — but looking at different data sets is interesting. After putting a bunch of stuff together, I thought I would share what we dug up.
Excited to hear your reactions/thoughts online or offline.

Some non-obvious results:
A number of non-tech companies have scaled to $1bn in sales as fast as many tech companies
Many people believe categories like shoes are not “winner-take-most” but that has not been the case (e.g., Nike>60%)
Many branded companies have software-like margins
etc…
Enjoy. — Saar
p.s. — there are a thousand ways to criticize the data…and I get that. Many of the big mkt cap consumer companies have been around for a long time for example. But hopefully you still find some nuggets in here.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks
