Practical startup guide in Milan: incubetors & accelerators

The Italian economical capital Milan is not an exception and with its wide array of incubators and accelerators plays a vital role in the startup ecosystem of the country itself. Although incubators and accelerators are very similar, usually incubators have entrants who have not yet officially started a business or are at a very early stage whilst accelerators usually accept more so developed companies that can be accelerated and grown within the accelerator.

How to Price Your Hardware Product

He started the company, without any hardware experience, out of a garage as an undergraduate student and lead it to a multi-million dollar business with product sold in over 40 countries and at retailers such as Apple and Best Buy. So you have a hardware product in the works? Before you can launch it, one of the most important things you need to figure out is pricing. Unlike software, you can’t AB test your pricing and change it for different customers, which means your product has one price and everyone wants to know what it is.

I have found pricing matters for two reasons. Although you may want your product to be affordable, it likely isn’t cheap to make when you get started. From Nothing To Something. How To Get There. This guest post was written by Meebo CEO Seth Sternberg.

From Nothing To Something. How To Get There.

It is the first in a series of posts he’s writing about the decisions a young entrepreneur needs to make when she/he is first starting a business. The timing is perfect, there is more than a little overlap with Vivek Wadhwa’s guest post on venture capital earlier today. We’ll update this post with links to his further installments. I was one of those kids who just couldn’t stop trying to start a company. I think I just really feared working for the Man. This is the first post in what’s going to be a series of blogs on how to go from nothing – no connections, no team, no money and no knowledge of how the startup industry really works – to operating a growing business.

Horowitt alle startup italiane: "I soldi da soli sono inutili" Le startup italiane devono imparare da Israele. Shlomo Maital, direttore del Technion Institute of Management israeliano, ha trascorso qualche giorno tra Roma e Milano per parlare della Startup Nation, come Israele è stata definita in un recente libro di succeso, insieme agli stakholder romani, che ha incontrato prima di partecipare alla finale di InnovactionLab, e milanesi, durante un evento al Politecnico.

Le startup italiane devono imparare da Israele

Il Technion Institute in Israele ha laureato in circa cinquant’anni 70 mila persone, 60 mila delle quali sono ancora attive sul mercato del lavoro in patria o altrove. Il 23% dei laureati ha creato almeno una startup e nel proprio libro Technion Nation, recentemente uscito, Maital spiega come questo sia stato possibile. The Event Strategy. Jason Cohen has a great post on unfair advantages.

One of Cohen’s differentiators — personal authority — is the most useful to first- and second-time entrepreneurs. So the question arises: how do you build strong and scalable personal authority?
