The document discusses the need for countries to accelerate economic growth through innovation. It notes that over $37 million has been raised by startups through an accelerator program, but that 121 of the companies it invested in shut down, showing the challenges of seed stage investing.

Startupxplore syndicates
This document discusses startup syndicate funding, which allows experienced "leader" investors to pool money with less experienced "backer" investors to co-invest in early-stage startups. It offers advantages to all parties - leaders can invest more per deal and access better deals, backers can access better dealflow and take less risk, and startups can access higher funding amounts without dealing with many investors directly. Syndicate funding typically takes place on online platforms that connect startups and investors.
Ομιλία Δοξιάδη
Aristos Doxiadis has experience investing with Commercial Capital from 1995-1999 and with Notos Associates from 2000 to present. He has reviewed over 500 prospects but only invested in 15 companies, investing primarily in later stage companies rather than early stage startups. Greek venture capitalists are hesitant to invest in early stage Greek startups due to the small domestic market, limitations of founding teams, and difficulty exiting investments. Startups often fail due to lack of a great idea, brilliant founder, viable product, strong execution, or real users.

This document discusses the evolution of seed-stage investing and the post-seed ecosystem. It notes that seed is now seen as a process rather than an event, and raising money has become a CEO's main job. The cost of startups has decreased significantly since 2000 due to factors like open source tools and cloud computing. New financial instruments like capped convertibles helped fuel the seed stage. Now over half of seed dollars flow to "post-seed" rounds as companies seek to de-risk before an institutional Series A. Founders must constantly raise money and investors must add specific value at each stage to be successful in this evolving ecosystem.
Financial intelligent for start ups
The document discusses various techniques for entrepreneurs to generate cash flow and finance their startups without relying solely on outside capital such as venture capital. It notes that most entrepreneurs will fail to secure outside funding and should focus on creative ways to self-finance through building cash flow from sales and tight financial discipline. While some may obtain funding, the odds are long and founders may lose control of their companies.

4 quadrant
The document discusses the philosophies of Robert Kiyosaki on building wealth and financial freedom. It contrasts how the poor, middle class, and wealthy approach personal finance. The poor live paycheck to paycheck with no assets, while the middle class thinks liabilities like houses and cars are assets. The wealthy acquire income-producing assets by using other people's money and focus on passive income. It also introduces Kiyosaki's cash flow quadrant model and paths to progress from employment to business ownership and investing. Building systems and discipline are key to achieving financial freedom in any quadrant.

Funding in Israel - What do local ecosystem investors are looking for
This document discusses what local investors in Israel's startup ecosystem look for in potential investments. It notes that while it may seem easy for startups to raise money, only 30% actually succeed in subsequent funding rounds. The main reason for failure is not reaching significant milestones. Investors want to back companies pursuing large existing markets that can become "unicorns" (valued over $1 billion). Common traits of past unicorns included addressing competitive markets in ways that evolve existing behaviors, having untested founders, and no proven business model or revenue initially. The document outlines the types of questions investors ask about teams, products, competition, marketing, and risks. It provides examples of narratives investors prefer and ways to turn them off, concluding on

What to expect in year one of your startup
The document provides an overview of strategies for a startup in its first year. It recommends conducting tests rather than growing a business to prove hypotheses cheaply. Only build a business after establishing a viable model where customer lifetime value exceeds three times the cost of customer acquisition. Outsource non-core activities and establish a mission and culture in the first year. Seek to minimize investor funding initially and prove concepts with contracting or grants instead of seeking money that could be lost. Focus marketing tests on proving at least one low-cost customer acquisition channel that can scale. Establish product, brand and operational standards while the business is still small.

This document provides advice on raising a seed round of venture capital funding. It recommends aiming to raise twice as much funding as initially planned to allow for buffer. It also suggests derisking the deal by having a strong founding team, targeting a big market, and demonstrating customer validation. The document advises talking to 50 potential investors to ensure getting enough commitments since coming up short could be fatal. It emphasizes building momentum by becoming oversubscribed and maintaining leverage by having a cash-flow-positive option. The overall message is that raising venture capital is a numbers game that requires a brute force approach.

Konstantinos Korletis - A presentation on angel investing at Open Coffee Athens
- Angel investing in tech startups has been positive in the US, achieving a 6% success rate, but it remains uncertain if it can prove worthwhile in Greece.
- Successful angel investments rely on outstanding entrepreneurial talent, good management skills, and realistic plans, but startup teams in Greece often come unprepared and have unrealistic expectations.
- For angel investing to succeed in Greece, startups need more grounding, angels need to add more value and become stricter, and there needs to be more options for further funding rounds led by more active later-stage investors.

1) The document discusses strategies for improving venture capital and startup accelerators, focusing on making more and smaller bets to reduce risk, using data and metrics to identify winning startups, and creating strong mentorship communities.
2) It recommends that VC funds and accelerators adopt strategies like increasing their deal volume, closely monitoring startup progress, doubling down on successful startups, and helping startups refine their products, test their markets, and generate revenue.

Philip Stehlik at TechTalks.ph - Fundraising in Silicon Valley
Venture capital funds provide financial capital to early-stage companies with novel technologies and high growth potential. These funds make money through owning equity in the companies they invest in. Typical venture capital investments occur after a seed funding round to fund growth towards an eventual liquidity event like an IPO or acquisition. Raising venture capital allows companies to accelerate growth but requires giving up some ownership and control of the company. Founders must balance fundraising needs with maintaining majority ownership.
Succeeding in your first year of business
The document provides an overview of strategies for making the first year of a new startup a success. It discusses establishing the right strategy by conducting tests rather than growing too quickly, focusing on people and culture by establishing core values and standards, maintaining prudent finances by self-funding initial experiments, and developing an effective marketing approach through rigorous testing of low-cost customer acquisition channels.

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/temporal-event-neural-networks-a-more-efficient-alternative-to-the-transformer-a-presentation-from-brainchip/
Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
