Introduction to Entrepreneurship 101/Finding and Validating Your Idea - Entre...MaRS Discovery District
Learn the scope of the Entrepreneurship 101 course and how it can help you build a business. Hear why entrepreneurship matters so much in today’s world, what makes entrepreneurs different (and successful) and how you can come up with your next big idea (or test the one you have).
Thinking carefully about economics and business strategy can mean the difference between having great technology and having a great company. This lecture focuses on clearly defining your business model, including how you’re going to make money with your product or service. Case studies are used to test concepts against a specific business.
Bootstrapping is the art of lifting oneself by the bootstraps. It may sound impossible, but bootstrapping is how many startups survive. Thanks to smart new ways of leveraging limited resources, including the emergence of crowdfunding, bootstrapping is an increasingly viable—and sometimes even the most desirable—funding strategy for early-stage startups. This lecture will cover both the strategic and the practical aspects of bootstrapping for early-stage companies.
This lecture outlines the legal and tax considerations of starting a business, including how to register and structure your business. You are introduced to the importance of understanding the entire “ecosystem” of your business, including distribution partners, industry contacts, lawyers and human resource specialists.
Intellectual property (IP) is the lifeblood of every knowledge-based startup or venture. In this lecture, learn how to identify and manage your intellectual property in a strategic way and examine how it fits in with your overall business model. A large part of your competitive advantage depends on your ability to protect and properly exploit or commercialize your product or service innovations. IP law provides the framework for protecting and commercializing these innovations.
This lecture discusses how to build and deliver an effective pitch to help you find financing for your entrepreneurial venture or to sell your product to customers.
Learn how to grab investors’ attention with great stories. In this session, we discuss how to build and deliver an effective pitch to help you find financing for your venture or to sell your product to customers.

Human Capital: Building high performance teams for your start-up's successMaRS Discovery District
Every start-up encounters speed bumps on the highway of growth. It's the people on your team who will enable your company to power through them. Skills and capabilities must evolve as you grow. You'll need to navigate advisory and other boards, recruit well and have effective team communication and a CEO who sets the stage for the company culture – all just to set you up for that early-stage VC funding.
Lance Laking, an experienced successful entrepreneur, talks about how to successfully drive this off-road path.

Introduction to Entrepreneurial Management - Entrepreneurship 101 (2013/2014)MaRS Discovery District
Recent research from Harvard Business School’s Shikhar Ghosh shows that 75% of all startup enterprises fail. What causes these failures and what can entrepreneurs do to mitigate the risk? Enter “Entrepreneurial Management.” In Session 4 of Entrepreneurship 101, we discuss the research from Startup Genome’s report, define the 5-Dimensions of success and introduce entrepreneurial management practices that startups can use to reduce the risk of failure. Startups are not just small versions of big companies – they need special tools and methodology to manage uncertainty and find their place in the market. We aim to equip attendees with the tools to mitigate risk and enjoy the journey of building a great company.
Innovation is one of the latest buzz words, but what does innovation really mean and how does it impact the way you do business and serve your clients? Often times, business leaders think innovation refers solely to technology, when in fact cloud and mobility are shifting away from being a new idea to being mainstream and an expectation, leaving clients wanting more. What does “being innovative” in your accounting firm mean to your business model, the way you interact with your clients, and how you plan for the future? Jennifer Warawa, Vice President and General Manager of Sage Accountant Solutions at Sage North America, and Tom Hood, CEO of Maryland Association of CPAs and the Business Learning Institute, will share research, trends, and insights into how the next phase of innovation will have an impact on the way you do business, and what changes are crucial in order to stay one step ahead of the competition.

Having been a part of, easily, over 100 venture pitches, it’s hard not to put myself in the shoes of the venture capitalist; listening to entrepreneurs talk about their ventures as though I intend to invest more than I could possibly manage.
The marketer in me, having listened to far more startup pitches than I’ve given, can’t help but pattern match; taking data in in order to optimize the performance of that with which I’m working.
And thus, having socialized this idea countless times, it seemed clear that it was time to put pen to paper and share with you what comes of a marketer listening to pitches, and an investor giving them: how to give the perfect fund raising pitch.

Different types of startups, markets and whysBlaz Kos
This presentation is about various types of startup companies, markets and core competencies.
In the presentation you will learn why market trends are important, why markets always win, how to calculate market size and why you have to start with the strong why.
You will also learn the fundamental difference between established companies and startups. Startups are designed to search and established companies to execute.
Hear about the different types of business structures an entrepreneur might adopt. We examine some of the early questions that an entrepreneur must ask before committing to a business: Will the business be a for-profit enterprise, a not-for-profit or something in between? What are the requirements and necessary resources for this model? What type of financing would be best to target — equity, debt, grant funding or a combination of all three?
How do you figure out how much money you need, and when? We’ll look at a case study and talk P&L to help you determine the right market for your product and which funding source is most appropriate to maximize the exit for your company.

Approached to talk about lead funnels and marketing automation, I suggested we change the topic to be relevant to the problem:
- Where to Start & Attracting an Audience
- Managing Audience & Growth
Marketing is the crutch of product mediocrity ... if your offering is good enough, you don't need for marketing and any form of active sales diminishes ... your "sales-funnel" turns into something that much more closely resembles a pipe ... almost every lead that comes in the top is a conversion through the bottom.

4) Who are your targets?

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.

Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.

Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

DEBT AND EQUITY
pg 20
• A quick primer on debt versus equity:
q Debt:
• gets paid back first, before any dividends get paid
• secured by assets (company, your personal)
• once debt is repaid (with interest of course), lender gets nothing else
q Equity:
• never has to be “repaid”
• keeps on “paying” forever
• you now have an investor partner who is in this, like you, for the long
haul
