Fundraising 101 For Hardware Startups
Fundraising for any startup is hard, but for hardware startups, it can be a soul destroying process, In this brief talk, we explore the basic stages of funding, look at a few examples, and discuss how to make sure you are targeting the right investors who will find your venture intriguing.
Are we really thinking?
Talk delivered at the Lean Agile Scotland 2016 conference (#lascot16).
In this session, we explore how our brain builds up beliefs, truisms, rules of thumb or heuristics that we apply unconsciously in everyday situations.
This can lead to habituation and a loss of engagement.
The session introduces the idea of introducing "jolts" to the system to avoid routine and habituation from happening.
Hearst at DIS: Rethinking Entrepreneurship
Hearst CTO Philip Wiser calls himself a "startup guy in a suit and tie." In this session, learn how to bring an entrepreneurial approach to a major corporation. Hint: It’s not about just about blowing everything up and doing it agile.

Management doing the non-obvious II
This document discusses various management concepts and principles:
- You cannot regulate failure in complex systems and it is better to focus on recovering from failures rather than trying to predict and prevent them.
- Product teams are more effective than feature teams because they are focused on discovering customer needs rather than having predefined solutions.
- Sharing a vision rather than a detailed roadmap allows for more flexibility and ability to change tactics.
- Psychological safety and an environment where people feel included, safe to learn and contribute, and safe to challenge the status quo is important for teams.
- Discipline is needed to successfully execute digital transformations but often lacks longevity and focus shifts to short term goals.
Nine lies about work
The document outlines 9 common lies about work and proposes alternative truths. The lies discussed include that people care most about the company they work for rather than their team, that the best plan wins rather than intelligence in real-time, and that feedback and performance reviews can reliably rate people. The author argues that people primarily care about their team, intelligence is needed to adapt to a dynamic world, and that reviews mostly reflect raters rather than ratees. The truths proposed emphasize caring for one's team, prioritizing real-time intelligence over static plans, and that people can best rate their own experiences.
Management: doing the nonobvious!
This document provides advice and perspectives on management and leadership from Diego Pacheco. Some of the key points discussed include:
- Ego can distort reality and inhibit innovation, so leaders should suppress ego with humility.
- Not all communication needs to happen between all people; structured teams are better models than rigid organization charts.
- Feedback is difficult to give and receive but is important for growth if approached without emotion or defensiveness.
- Scenario modeling and role playing exercises can help train leaders by anticipating problems before they occur.
Early Stage Startup Advice (March 10 2016, Jonah)
This document provides three suggestions for first-time founders:
1. Develop a "theory stack" to separate concerns and establish common terminology for key startup decisions and best practices. Examples of theory stack topics include funding, growth strategy, and product strategy.
2. Determine if you are starting a startup focused on rapid growth or a "lifestyle business" company, as startups require a different mindset of aiming to scale big.
3. Focus on assembling the right founding team with the necessary engineering, capital, and sales capabilities as well as a mentality for dealing with failure and intrinsic motivation to solve the problem. The founders should have a formalized relationship through documents like equity splits.

The importance of urgency hbr
Urgency is important for long term survival in a rapidly changing environment. Complacency is the enemy of urgency.

- For innovations to succeed, an organizational culture of trust, collaboration, and thinking globally is important. This allows for constructive learning from failures and hiring diverse talent. Building relationships is also vital for gaining support and feedback to advance ideas.

1 Ceo Business Mastery Model Week1
This document outlines problems that can cause real estate investment businesses to fail and provides solutions. It discusses three main problems: 1) being technique-driven rather than system-driven, 2) working alone rather than as a team, and 3) not using proper entities to grow and protect assets. It then introduces the CEO 2.0 business model as a solution, which involves developing the right vision and mindset, defining goals, gaining knowledge, networking, and implementing systems and processes to work on rather than in the business for ongoing success, freedom and wealth. The model focuses on cash flow, debt management, and prioritizing quick implementations and returns through different business departments and divisions.
Good To Great
The document summarizes key findings from research into organizations that achieved enduring greatness. It identifies six core elements common to these organizations: 1) Level 5 leadership, 2) First getting the right people on the team before deciding on strategy, 3) Confronting brutal facts, 4) Having a simple "Hedgehog concept", 5) A culture of discipline, and 6) Using technology to accelerate momentum, not create it. Each element is then described in more detail.
