Conversations 2.0 for Start-Ups (#conv2): Episode 6

"The First 200 Days" 

Can you go from zero to sixty in 5 seconds? Or, at least, perform the start-up equivalent of that? From an initial decision-point or initiation, how quickly can you get up to speed? How much ground can you cover in the first sprint? How long can you make this burst last? What are the first 10 things you must try to achieve? Whether the "first 200 days" equate to two months or two years for you, what are the must-dos in this initial, critical period, to get your business up and running efficiently? 

We'll try to address some of these questions at the next episode of the Start-Up Conversations 2.0, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 2nd August, at Club Workspace at Leathermarket, SE1 3ER. Speakers include Michael Edge from Flup.me and Aniko Zagon from Entelliz. Sign up on the Dreamstake website, and follow the discussion on our LinkedIn group.

Doing Business With India

Emerging markets are the key to business growth, and India, with its comparable legal framework, 8% growth rate and low language barriers, is an obvious choice for UK firms. But India - vast, diverse and dynamic - is not an easy place to understand. This workshop helped participants understand the cultural and business gaps between the UK and India, and build techniques to bridge them. The course was "really informative, well delivered and ultimately very useful in helping to inform our strategy for working with India" said Andrea Carter, International Business Development Manager at RM Education.

Conversations 2.0 for Start-Ups (#conv2): Episode 5

"How Creative is your Funding Strategy?" 

Friends and family, preferred stock, incubator, angel, VC, convertible loans - there are so many different ways of raising funds, but which one is right for you? How do you choose? Is there one right way? Which method is the right one, and for which stage? What qualities should you look for in an investor? what qualities is an investor looking for in an early stage start-up? Is London the right place for you? At the last Startup Conversation 2.0, we tried to answer some of these questions. Read an overview of the discussion here, or follow the debate on our LinkedIn group.
