About the Speaker:
Prof Tom Kosnik is a Fenwick and West Consulting Professor, Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP), at Stanford School of Engineering. He is also the International Advisor for NUS Entrepreneurship Centre. Prof Tom has an extensive experience in the field of system integration, marketing and business development roles. Currently he is helping business and government leaders to create real time learning programs for stakeholders across their value chains, positioning products, services and brands, execute global sales and marketing campaigns, attract and develop talent as well as to raise money. With his experience and involvements with various start-ups over the past few years, the talk definitely is a must-go for any entrepreneurial minded students.
Abstract:
Newcomers to Silicon Valley are sometimes surprised and perplexed at the ways that the entrepreneurial community interacts with Angels, VCs, and other players such as law firms, accounting firms, and even the local universities (Stanford, Cal Berkeley, Santa Clara, and San Jose State) during the process of company formation raising capital. The process has grown even more complex in the last decade, as the Valley has had to cope with two major recessions in ten years, and as new investment categories in clean energy, air and water and web 2.0 and social networks have emerged very rapidly. The last decade has also seen the rise of incubators, accelerators, and new government initiatives to stimulate "clean tech" industries, as well as major turbulence in the industry formerly known as "Investment Banking." For all of these reasons, getting access to the resources you need as an entrepreneur is more complicated in 2010 than it was in the past. This talk will discuss of these changes, and some of the things that entrepreneurs who are new to the Valley are doing to cope with the turbulent environment.

GIT

Friday, October 30, 2009

Hey guys!

There's a new competition called the Global Innovation Tournament (GIT). Pls look through the attached document for more details.
Inform me by next wed if you're keen to participate. As the maximum number of people in a group is 15, which is rather large, you may want to inform me individually first if you wish to join and i'll group the members together.

You're strongly encouraged to participate, as it is a great form of exposure and it'll be in your portfolio too.

Global Innovation Tournament (GIT)

The Global Innovation Tournament challenges student teams to solve a common, world problem. The problem will be revealed on November 4 and teams will work on it, conveying their results through a short video clip posted to YouTube, until Nov 13 which is the due date for submission. I.e. you'll have around 8+ days to solve the problem presented.

GIT is part of the department from School of Engineering at Stanford University. This competition is part of an activity for the Entrepreneurship Week this year and will take place globally. There will be local selections first, before they send the top 6 local finalists for global judging. Global winners are featured online on the Global Entrepreneurship Week website and receive a certificate of recognition from Stanford; Local winners also receive a total of $3000 cash prizes.

** Important dates to note if you want to join:

  • Wed, Nov 4: Competition launches - challenge announced
  • Fri, Nov 13: Submissions of entries
  • Wed, Nov 18: Top six finalists announced.
  • Fri, Nov 20: Submit the top 6 winners to Stanford for global judging
  • Thurs, Dec 3: Global winners announced.

    [Essentially, the competition only takes place from 4th Nov and end on 13th Nov]

Note that each team can have a max of 15 people.

You can view some of the clips below, which were submitted last year. I think the problem posted to the teams last year was something about recycling and to encourage people not to throw away bottles.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVgqNpubf1k it won the funniest new product award.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdyEBFR6t-8 this won the happiness award

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6gCM_jyeR0 the ‘best call to action’ award
