Dear Students, I was able to secure Swati Dasgupta who evaluates business models for funding at Siemens will be my guest on Monday to give you feedback if your model is any good from Venture funding point view.  She is the Director of Venture Capital Investments. Come prepared if you want to capture the full value of her input – midpoint review is around the corner.

Please send these slides to Denice ahead of time.

1.      Slide #1 – Business Model Canvas – one-liners, no wrapping – abbreviations are ok.

2.      Slide#2 – Your ecosystems and partners

3.      Slide#3 – important for investment decisions (ROE, ROA, RNOA) – current and projected.

4.      Slide#4 – Where does the innovation fit into the existing structure? And why?

No busy slides like last time. Please !!!   Pictures and animation works best – see previous presentations posted online

I am willing to pay for one student who would like to go for the Healthcare Conference tomorrow http://haashealthcareconference.org/2014/?page_id=44  – call me if you want to go and I will pay.

Do not miss conference calls that are set-up with various executives and thought leaders – information is on  the website under announcements.

Blessings,
