Before you uproot your organization to relocate to the Valley’s legendary networking-rich, investor-friendly climate, be sure you understand how the Valley can deliver – and how it might disappoint.

  • Startup’s Rearview Mirror: If I could do it all over again

    19/12/2013 Duration: 57min

    Today’s buzz: Hindsight. How many times have you failed in business or a career? Rather than be measured solely on your successes, it could be so much more productive to be graded by the number of times you fell down, dusted yourself off, and got back up to try again, another way, another day. Smart entrepreneurs recognize the benefits of such retrospective thinking through the 20/20 rearview mirror of experience. And they have a wealth of knowledge to share. Vish Canaran, Liquid Analytics: “’To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield’ is the last line of Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tenneyson. They made me memorize this in cold Canada in grade school.” Ralph Treitz, Trufa: “And yet it moves.” (Galileo Galilei, 1564 – 1642) Andy Yen, SAP: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” (Charles Darwin) Join us for more insights on Startup’s Rearview Mirror: If I could do it all over again.

  • Start-Up Focus: Selling to the enterprise

    17/10/2013 Duration: 58min

    Today’s buzz: The enterprise space. Some startups refuse to play it safe by starting small, choosing instead to pursue the big-kids enterprise marketplace right out of the gate. Could be a smart move, but only if they’re prepared for its challenges. Our in-the-trenches experts speak. Christopher Carter, Approyo: “Life is too short. We need to seize our dreams, our goals, and our desires. If not, someone else will.” Padman Ramankutty, Intrigo: “Selling to the consumer is about selling positive emotions. Selling to the enterprise is about suppressing negative emotions. You might have lost the sale; you just don't know it because you have happy ears! Luisa Silva, SAP: “To be successful selling innovation in the enterprise market segment, one needs to speak the ‘language’. A fair amount of young innovative companies often focus on the magnificence of their offerings and soon encounter severe difficulties to succeed in this space.” Join us for Dare to Dream Big: Selling to the enterprise.
