SUMMARY:Regulators\, Rent Seekers and Revolutionaries: What Every Startup Needs to Know About Regulated Markets
DESCRIPTION:Regulators\, Rent Seekers\, and Revolutionaries: What Every Startup Needs to Know About Regulated Markets\nTo survive as a startup looking to disrupt existing businesses in a regulated market\, you need a strategy to beat the vested interests who want to put a chokehold on innovation. \n \nJoin Evan Burfield\, author of Regulatory Hacking; and Bradley Tusk\, author of The Fixer; along with Columbia Senior Fellow for Entrepreneurship Steve Blank. Together they’ll look at what regulated markets are\, how they work\, and how startup founders can devise a strategy for disrupting them. \nMansueto Ventures CEO\, Eric Schurenberg and Columbia SIPA Professor\, Sarah Holloway\nThe conversation will be introduced by SIPA Professor\, Sarah Holloway and moderated by Eric Schurenberg\, CEO of Mansueto Ventures who oversees the operations of both Inc. and Fast Company. \n(L to R) Steve Blank\, Bradley Tusk author of The Fixer\, and Regulatory Hacking author Evan Burfield\nEvan Burfield is the author of Regulatory Hacking\, published by Portfolio | Penguin and named by Inc.

Steve is the author of The Four Steps to the Epiphany\, The Startup Owner’s Manual — and his May 2013 Harvard Business Review cover story defined the Lean Startup movement. He teaches at Stanford\, Columbia and Berkeley; and created the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps — now the standard for science commercialization in the U.S. His Hacking for Defense class at Stanford is revolutionizing how the U.S. defense and intelligence community can deploy innovation with speed and urgency\, and its sister class\, Hacking for Diplomacy\, is doing the same for foreign affairs challenges managed by the U.S. State Department.

SUMMARY:Innovation Grant Info Session: Sizing Markets & Projecting Budgets
DESCRIPTION:Love often blinds novice entrepreneurs.  They become enamored with their technology or business model almost to a fault.  There’s nothing wrong with that per se.  Passion is an important component in launching a startup.  However\, if founders ignore the financial model that accompanies the business model\, their lunch will be more of a sad fizzle. \nMichael Lopez will help you add financial viability to your startup story.  When you submit your innovation grant summary\, you’ll need to include those aspects that will be most relevant to potential investors – even if fundraising is a long way off. Michael will help you gain an understanding how to build a credible story through numbers. \nMicheal Lopez\, Partner at EisnerAmper\nAbout Michael\nMichael Lopez is a Partner at EisnerAmper and has more than 25 years of experience relating to a broad range of audit\, accounting\, tax\, and finance issues.

SUMMARY:Building Credible Financials for Early Stage Investors
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an evening with David Ehrenberg\, a long-time friend\, partner and mentor to Columbia University Entrepreneurship. He started Early Growth Financial Services to provide a service that didn’t exist when he was working at early stage companies – high-quality accounting and strategic financial consulting services on demand. \nDavid will conduct 90-minute interactive workshop\, which will lay out \n\nWhat angels are looking for in a set of credible financials\nWhat really impresses them\nWhat they DON’T want to see\n\nWhat You’ll Take Away:\nFounders of early-stage ventures are in love with their products\, and all too often\, they want to tell the whole\, long story. Early-stage investors are all to often jaded\, cynical and well\, just real busy. If they even give you 10 minutes\, it is likely that they’re distracted. How can founders make the most out of their pitch? How can you edit your the financial side of your story down to the most compelling bits?\nDavid has seen it all\, from both sides of the conversation. In this workshop\, he’ll help you understand what is most relevant to investors and what is superfluous. He’ll help you gain an understanding how to build credibility by telling a credible story through numbers.\nWhy It Matters: If you’re raising capital for the first time\, you’ll be a novice going up against a hardened veteran. Most founders can clearly articulate their value proposition\, but sometimes struggle when it comes to telling a concise and credible numbers story.\nAbout the Expert \n\nDavid Ehrenberg Founder\, Partner and Chief Executive Officer\,\nEarly Growth Financial Services \nDavid Ehrenberg founded Early Growth Financial Services (EGFS) in 2008 to address the lack of on-demand financial support available to startups. David’s passion for mentoring entrepreneurs\, and helping early-stage startups to thrive\, led him to create the integrated financial solution that EGFS provides\, from day-to-day accounting to strategic finance\, tax\, and valuation support.\nAs CEO\, David has overseen incredible growth at EGFS\, leading to its being ranked #5 in Silicon Valley Business Journals’ annual Fastest Growing Private Companies award for 2013. David’s articles and insights are frequently posted in such prestigious publications as Forbes\, Inc\, VentureBeat\, Huff Post Small Business\, Yahoo! Small Business Advisor\, Startup Nation\, and more. He is an active speaker and event leader who presents regularly to founders and others within the startup ecosystem. He also co-founded and moderated Pitch Flip LA 2013 in which investors from Silicon Valley presented to a broad sampling from the LA startup community. \nDavid has strategic and operational expertise in all areas of early-stage finance\, including strategic planning\, forecasting\, venture funding\, debt financing\, and M&A. Prior to founding EGFS\, David was the first CFO for Abound Logic\, playing an integral role in building out the company’s finance and administrative infrastructure. Before that\, David was a Controller for Microsoft\, in a division that focused on creating new products and business solutions. Earlier in his career\, David was a key member of the finance team at Extreme Networks and Voice Stream Wireless and VP of Finance for Radiant Research\, where he was responsible for selling the company in two transactions and ensuring a successful exit for investors and management.\nAbout Our Partners

SUMMARY:The Next Wave of Corporate Entrepreneurship with Steve Blank. What Comes After Innovation Theater?
DESCRIPTION:Join Columbia Business School Executive Education and\nColumbia Entrepreneurship for an evening with \nSteve Blank\nin conversation with \nProfessor Rita D. McGrath\, Columbia Business School and\nBrian Murray\, President and CEO\, HarperCollins Publishers\n\nThe Next Wave of Corporate Entrepreneurship\nWhat Comes After Innovation Theater?\nHosted by \nGoodwin Procter\, LLP\nOffices of Goodwin Procter\, New York Times Building\n620 8th Avenue\, 26th Floor \nCorporate entrepreneurship is a very hot topic these days.  Despite all the talk\, however\, actual innovation performance comes nowhere near to delivering on its promise.  We are perhaps five years into the latest flurry of excitement about the prospects for innovation-fueled growth.  Companies have traveled to Silicon Valley in droves\, sponsored innovation boot camps\, trained innovation ninjas\, and otherwise promised their stakeholders that innovation is front and center on their agendas. \nAnd yet. \nEvidence suggests much of this activity is just ‘Innovation Theater’.  Indeed\, how many corporations focus their cultures around an innovation playbook\, and train all staff in innovation practices. \nIn a recent McKinsey study\, fully 94% of executives surveyed reported that they were unhappy with their organization’s ability to innovate.  Similar research shows that corporations are spending a lot more of their profits on things like share buybacks and dividends than they are on innovation. \nWhat’s next for corporate innovation? \nColumbia University’s Senior Fellow for Entrepreneurship\, Steve Blank is a retired eight-time serial entrepreneur-turned-educator and author.  He has changed the way entrepreneurs around the world build their startups. His bestselling The Startup Owner’s Manual\, and his earlier seminal work\, The Four Steps to the Epiphany are both credited with launching the Lean Startup movement. His Lean LaunchPad class at Stanford\, Berkeley\, and Columbia has redefined how Universities approach entrepreneurship.  His Innovation Corps class for the National Science Foundation forever changed how the U.S. commercializes science. \nProfessor Rita Gunther McGrath is a globally recognized expert on strategy\, innovation\, and growth with an emphasis on corporate entrepreneurship. Her work and ideas help CEOs and senior executives chart a pathway to success in today’s rapidly changing and volatile environments. Ms. McGrath was named one of the Top 10 Most Influential Business Thinkers by Thinkers50 in 2015 and 2013. Thinkers50 presented Rita with the #1 award for Strategy\, the Distinguished Achievement Award (2013). She has also been inducted into the Strategic Management Society “Fellows” in recognition of her impact on the field. \nProfessor McGrath teaches Leading Strategic Growth and Change and will be launching Mastering Corporate Entrepreneurship\, an online\, seven-week executive education course in January.  Registration is currently open. \nBrian Murray is President and Chief Executive Officer of HarperCollins Publishers. Since being appointed CEO in 2008\, Murray has led the transformation of HarperCollins from a traditional print publishing company focused only on English language publishing\, to a dynamic print and digital publisher with broad expertise in foreign language publishing and more than $350M in digital revenues. Murray has led six acquisitions including Thomas Nelson and Harlequin. The acquisition of Harlequin in 2014 extended the company’s global platform and digital presence\, resulting in the ability to publish in more than 30 languages and publishing operations in a dozen new countries. The Thomas Nelson acquisition in 2012 allowed for the formation of the HarperCollins Christian Publishing division\, positioning HarperCollins as the leading publisher of Christian content in the world.

SUMMARY:Using Artificial Intelligence to Identify State Secrets
DESCRIPTION:Whether official secrecy is random or predictable is a matter of great public controversy. But the question has not been explored using Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning methods.\nJoin Columbia University History Professor Matt Connelly for a discussion about using data science to compare political narratives with the real historical record. \nAdmission is Free\nRegister Today\nThis event is co-hosted by Text.IQ\nArtificial Intelligence to Identify State Secrets \nAbstract: \nWhether official secrecy is random or predictable is a matter of great public controversy. But the question has not been explored using Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning methods. We report the results of an experiment with nearly one million State Department cables from the 1970s to identify diplomatic communications that were originally classified as containing sensitive national security information. In analyzing the data\, we found that cables classified as secret were disproportionately likely to have been lost or corrupted. But even with incomplete data\, we were able to train algorithms to identify 90% of classified cables with <11% of false positives. \nMatthew Connelly is a professor of international and global history at Columbia. He is also the principal investigator of History Lab\, a project to apply data science to the problem of preserving the public record and accelerating its release. He received his B.A. from Columbia and his Ph.D. from Yale. His publications include “A Diplomatic Revolution: Algeria’s Fight for Independence and the Origins of the Post-Cold War Era”\, which won five prizes\, and Fatal Misconception: The Struggle to Control World Population\, an Economist and Financial Times book of the year. He has provided commentary on international affairs for The Atlantic Monthly\, The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, and Le Monde\, and has hosted radio documentaries for BBC Radio.
