Potential topics
Launching an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem. It's not fair that Silicon Valley get's all the startup fun. It's also a terrible idea to try and copy us when we have more than a 60 year head start. This keynote includes the history of Silicon Valley, tips on starting a grassroots movement for your own ecosystem, and what Silicon Valley is missing where other ecosystems could capitalize.
Creating the Mindset of a Successful Entrepreneur. From my work creating two startup accelerators and working directly (mentor or advisor) with three more I dive into the mental indicators that accelerators look for in our founders. I also share actionable advice on mindset development and getting the startup basics right.
An insider's view of Venture Capital. Wonder why VCs act the way they do? How do you prepare your startup for the best chance of funding from VCs? Based on 4 years of work with, and inside, of the Venture Capital community I delve into the specifics of fund formation, how VCs have to fundraise, as well as what their limited partners are expecting - and how that should affect your pitch.
