This is for the early-stage companies — the entrepreneurs with great ideas and tireless work ethics who feel like they’ve emailed half of the country’s news outlets with nothing but the rare “thanks, but not interested” reply to show for it. The irony hurts. You don’t have the traction, the big-dollar investments, or the marketing staff to attract media attention.

Tenacity and resilience. Getting people to buy in to your startup vision takes a thick skin, perseverance and willingness to learn. You’ll probably be laughed out of several boardrooms along the way. Entrepreneurs refuse to take no for an answer. The latest guests on Entrepreneurs are Everywhere shared what they learned from having their ideas rejected and how those lessons propelled their businesses forward.
Speaker: Nick Noreña, Innovation Coach and Advisor, Kromatic
Every startup and innovation project exists within an ecosystem that either helps or hurts that project. As innovation managers, we need to keep a pulse of that ecosystem and make sure we're helping those innovation projects we're managing every step of the way. In this webinar, Nick Noreña will walk through an Innovation Ecosystem Model that he and his team at Kromatic have developed to help investors, heads of product, teachers, and executives understand how they can best support innovation in

Investors love serial entrepreneurs and routinely pay big bucks to invest in their companies. I’ve heard investors say they have backed serial entrepreneurs when they don’t believe in the idea or because it would look bad if they invested in the first company and missed out on the second. Sometimes it works well – Jack Dorsey did a $10m seed round for Square in 2009 at a rumoured valuation of $40m and I’m sure his investors are very happy.

As Generation Z gets ready to graduate and enter the workforce, employers are attempting to attract new talent by changing up the dynamic of the traditional workplace. Baby boomers are getting ready to retire, which means there will be a large gap in management positions for Millennials and future generations to fill. This also means that employers need to start considering the needs of a younger workforce to attract and retain the best talent.

I don’t enjoy working in a constricted corporate environment. I care not for politics and I much prefer to keep real customers happy than internal ones. It’s super hard to do that working for a company. The core customer usually becomes the people we work for. A big reason to go down the entrepreneurial track isn’t about finance but freedom.

Planning media is not as hard as as it sounds, so long as we think about it in human terms. So here’s my 3 step media planning process: Who do I want to talk to and why? Where can I find them? What do I want to say? If these questions are hard to answer, then we probably need to re-think what we are trying to sell. If these people don’t want to hear from us, then we need to re-think what we are trying to sell.

Most goals revolve around some form of high ground. And if we are honest with ourselves we usually know what drives us. It could be moral high ground, intellectual high ground, financial high ground, relationship high ground, attention high ground, power high ground, community high ground and hedonistic high ground… the list is endless. Just be reviewing the list, it’s easy to see that some have a high probability of conflicting with each other.
