On YouTube, a keyword-targeted pre-roll ad might show the same video to a CEO and an intern. On Facebook, an ideal customer may log on to see photos of a new nephew, not to check out a 30-second demo of your SaaS product. LinkedIn has the potential to resolve both shortcomings: You know much more about who’s on the other end of an ad. You have a pretty good idea of why they’re on LinkedIn—to improve their career or company.

Most forward-thinking organisations will understand the importance of big data, and perhaps on a lesser scale – artificial intelligence. But there’s no doubt that the next greatest technological impact is the ability to link these two components through the Internet of Things. By further exploring the fundamental element of ‘what happens next’, it is only then that we are able to grasp what it could truly be capable of achieving for businesses and organisations who integrate this technolog

If you are just plain tired of working so hard, or your startup is not getting the traction you expected, should you shut down cleanly, or just file for bankruptcy and walk away? For those who think that bankruptcy is the easy way out, think again. Bankruptcy should always be the absolutely last resort. The “advantage” of filing for bankruptcy, of course, is that it gets creditors permanently off your back, with no continuing lawsuits, based on funds derived from selling all assets.

Speaker: Nick Noreña, Innovation Coach and Advisor, Kromatic

Every startup and innovation project exists within an ecosystem that either helps or hurts that project.

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

Starting a business is much work. So as an entrepreneur, you want to see that work pay off–you want to see your company expand. To do so, you need to have clear objectives and a structure for setting your goals. Having objectives set give us a course to follow, and a clear direction motivates our team and us to work towards those results. However, setting goals is easier said than done.

Start-ups, by definition, are risky. But traditionally, start-ups have looked for the least risky position in the value chain. And for many, this is being a platform. Successful platforms build an ecosystem of contributors that create content for the platform. Or, they build a marketplace where sellers decide which products might sell or not. In both cases, the platform is a risk-minimizing strategy.

There are many types of entrepreneurs and being a successful entrepreneur is not dependent on one particular personality type. The University of West Alabama has explored the subject of “entrepreneurial spirit”, the sometimes abstract personality trait that translates into your style as a manager and even the culture of the organization that your startup grows into.

While likely uncomfortable for a lot of people, it was excellent, provocative, and challenging all at the same time. I have not, nor have I ever been, an investor in Facebook. However, I benefited indirectly from, and indirectly contributed to, the rapid rise of Facebook as an early investor in Zynga.
