2013 Presidents' Forum of St. Louis "The Future of Knowledge Work"
Stephanie Leffler, CEO of CrowdSource.com, discussed the future of knowledge work. She started by sharing her experience starting an online business that was dependent on others before creating a do-it-yourself ecommerce solution. This led her to discover crowdsourcing which provided scalable labor. Her company CrowdSource.com launched in 2011 and uses crowdsourcing to provide content, moderation, categorization and more. Leffler believes that in the future, work will be much different with work being transparent, measurable, location independent, and optimized for efficiency based on output rather than education.

Five innovations have changed the startup world:
1. Applying the scientific method to startups through experiments and iteration to learn about customers and business models.
2. Developing business models using the Business Model Canvas to validate assumptions with facts from experiments.
3. Conducting Customer Discovery to understand customer problems rather than focus on technology solutions.
4. Using the Lean Startup methodology to build minimum viable products to test learning hypotheses rather than fully developed products.
5. Defining metrics like the AARRR framework to measure acquisition, activation, retention, revenue, and referrals to guide business model optimization.

Managing quick growth of an IT consulting company is like sailing, requiring strategy. The CEO discussed Sigma Software's history of growth from 6 employees in 2002 to over 850 now.

How To Write An Explanatory Synthesis Essay. Explanato

Leadership & Social Media

Some key points made include that social media allows you to communicate fully online and offline, build tribes of promoters, and meet clients where they are. Analytics can track results from social media, unlike traditional advertising. Social media is now more widely used than email. The presentation encourages leveraging social media like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube to instantly brand yourself and provide value to build trust with your tribe.
Startupfest 2012 - Chasing big ideas
In 2003, along with co-founders Erik Swan and Rob Das, Michael Baum set out to solve a big problem. The world was filling up with machine data, and humans needed ways to mine through it quickly. Nearly a decade later, Splunk’s IPO gave it a market cap of $3B. There’s no doubt today that Big Data is big money; but how do you see that coming years in advance? Even today, it’s a confusing term. Ask ten people what “Big Data” means and you’ll likely get ten different answers. Splunk’s founding CEO will talk about chasing big ideas, growing a multi-billion-dollar business and changing the world – all starting with a simple idea.
Expara Business Canvas Workshop

Startupfest 2019 - Building a Disruptive Startup Ecosystem
This document discusses building disruptive startup ecosystems and outlines key metrics for Montreal's ecosystem. It notes that 5 of the top 10 largest companies globally are from tech startup ecosystems, demonstrating their economic impact. However, Montreal captures only 0.17% of global exit value and its startup ecosystem suffers from a seed funding gap, lack of global connections for founders, and low foreign customer sales compared to other cities. The document argues that significantly more investment is needed to support Montreal's "keystone team" and fix issues like angel funding and global reach in order to build a strong, job-creating startup engine for the future.
