Seminars

Initially started as informal talks as mentor in incubators, accelerators, founder clubs, seed stage batches, the materials have gelled into two more formal seminars. The seminars are always taught live, either in person or online, usually in partnership with such groups or as invited guest in university entrepreneurship tracks. I am open to organize more seminars with groups that have relevant audiences.

Market Entry Strategy
A seminar for seed and Series A companies

This class summarizes decades of experience helping management teams in one of the most critical phases of a startup life: market entry. The seminar is particularly suitable for companies which have an initial product and are seeking they first customers and setting the foundations for their go-to-market organization. Many of the entrepreneurs I have worked with directly suggested I blog or somehow share my accumulated knowledge. This 2 hour class is my attempt at doing so. It provides detailed suggestions and hands-on exercises to focus your market entry, build your sales strategy and develop a plan for success

 

The class has now been given many times and attended by close to 5,000 entrepreneurs who recommended I give it to their friends and colleagues.

CEO - Board Relations
A seminar for all private companies

This class is intended for CEOs and other executives that participate in board meetings and can be interesting to other board members. It describes the roles and responsibilities of the board attendees. Most importantly it recasts the relationship between the CEOs and their boards in a way that is constructive and enables the board to be a productive asset for the CEOs. There are also insights about how to cohesive lead the company and the board.

 

This class is complementary to the Market Entry class and ideally taken afterwards but it also stands on its own
