asking to help out his step-son Erik Mendoza to raise money for a <a href="http://www.rodeogolf-usa.com/thetour.html">European Basketball tournament</a> he wants to attend: Steve and his wife insisted that he come up with a concept that would require him to provide a product for profit, versus just asking his relatives for a handout. Thus far it has worked very well and Erik is very close to achieving his goal. <a href="http://www.rodeogolf-usa.com/game.html">This </a>is the game called "Rodeo golf"that he invented, and <a href="http://www.rodeogolf-usa.com/video.html">here's</a> a couple of videos to explain it even better. Erik sold 170 of the 200 units he made and now needs to sell the last 30 units of this back-yard-game to hit is target. You can buy one of the last units <a href="http://www.rodeogolf-usa.com/buyone.html">here</a> . But hurry folks they are now in hot demand!

Total VC investments in European and Israeli technology companies reached €4.7 billion!! the largest amount raised in a single year since 2002. The upswing continued in the first quarter of 2007, which led to levels of activity unmatched in the past years. The Tornado Insider Research Online Data counter for Q1 2007 stands at 286 deals. You have to go back to Q3 2001 to find more investments in a single quarter. January recorded most deals in the quarter: 113. This is the second highest monthly number since September 2001 - 104 deals were reported in March 2004. The total amount of funding raised in Q1 reached €1.59 billion. The last time quarterly investment surpassed the €1.5 billion mark was Q1 2002.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ideabroker.blogspot.com/feeds/6009507826454173005/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9498874&postID=6009507826454173005&isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9498874/posts/default/6009507826454173005'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9498874/posts/default/6009507826454173005'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ideabroker.blogspot.com/2007/04/european-vc-investments-picking-up.html' title='European VC investments picking up!'/><author><name>Jan Karel Kleijn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04559762500045550717</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_shTaRvRCryI/SLKjiazEStI/AAAAAAAAACg/Nn3eevygoV4/S220/JK+Yeahoo!.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9498874.post-8269548111091648566</id><published>2007-04-07T14:36:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2007-04-10T07:21:25.060+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Ideabroker at Xing Meeting Rotterdam</title><content type='html'>Ideabroker hosts another Pitch session at the <a href="http://www.rotterdamcommunity.nl/">Xing meeting</a> on the 19th of April in Rotterdam.

Typically, we're seers only in hindsight, lamenting how we knew eight years ago that Google would revolutionize search and forgetting how we dismissed successful product introductions. Academics and analysts have some ideas about what works best; Admit that most things fail: This is not a bad thing. Not even a surprising thing. It is just the way the world operates. And those who do not realize this are more doomed to failure than those who do. That's the observation of Paul Ormerod, author <a href="http://www.arts.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2005/05/01/boorm01.xml&sSheet=/arts/2005/05/01/bomain.html"><cite>Why Most Things Fail</cite></a>, and an advocate of continuous, aggressive innovation. In the history of industry most businesses eventually fail, even market leaders. Although they don't fall apart for the same reasons, certain patterns of behavior contribute to the likelihood of failure. "What you should be looking for is not the amount of money they're spending on research and development themselves, but a company's willingness to be flexible and to adapt to what other people are doing well," Specialize, specialize, specialize: Sir Isaac Newton once famously wrote, by way of explaining his extraordinary legacy of discoveries, that "If I have seen further, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." "If one is to stand on the shoulders of giants, one must first climb up their backs, and the greater the body of knowledge, the harder this climb becomes," writes Benjamin Jones, a professor at the Kellogg School of Management, in a paper that addresses the <a href="http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/faculty/jones-ben/htm/BurdenOfKnowledge.pdf">complexities of innovation</a>. (.pdf) Jones' analysis adresses two changes in the way people and institutions pursue innovation. The first is a trend toward specialization. In order to improve existing technologies, researchers must either pursue an increasingly extensive education or narrow their field of expertise. Jones also envisions a trend toward teamwork gaining momentum, as companies need more people to complete projects. "Whenever researchers look at innovation, they see this upward trend in collaboration," he said. "People are becoming more specialized over time and they need to work in bigger teams." That's the view of Eric von Hippel, a professor at MIT's Sloan School of Management, who says technologies can be developed in such a way that innovations are easier to make. The basic idea is to break complex systems into simpler "modules." A product can be improved upon by focusing not on the whole, but on a small part. "Existing technology gets gradually shaped into large user-friendly chunks that you don't need to know the insides of to use," he said. "You can work with an operating system without knowing everything about how it works. And you can modify a car without necessarily understanding how the engine works." As for corporate R&amp;D, von Hippel says companies are finding that more and more innovation is coming not from in-house developers, but from products users who do their own re-engineering. "People are innovating for themselves," he said. "That's what has happened and economists are really puzzled about it because economists are focused on this IP-based system."Look at mash-ups for google maps, pimp my ride/house/pc etc etc, the people take over! Be your own innovator!What all these analysts above are missing is that most of true product innovation is that new concepts, product ideas and enhancements are born out of frustration with the current product or lack of a solution to a particular problem in the market.I never believed in R&amp;D depts as the biggest innovators.. no siree, the one-man-bands that stumble upon something, or over something.. for the 1000st time and then decide to finaly do something about it.. those are the innovators and mostly by chance. </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ideabroker.blogspot.com/feeds/114179549269216055/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9498874&postID=114179549269216055&isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9498874/posts/default/114179549269216055'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9498874/posts/default/114179549269216055'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ideabroker.blogspot.com/2006/03/re-innovation.html' title='Re-innovation'/><author><name>Jan Karel Kleijn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04559762500045550717</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_shTaRvRCryI/SLKjiazEStI/AAAAAAAAACg/Nn3eevygoV4/S220/JK+Yeahoo!.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9498874.post-114111080406557222</id><published>2006-02-28T07:53:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-02-28T08:55:06.573+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Cool Prosthetics!</title><content type='html'>Why does it take a friend with a handicap to let me realise there's some serious <a href="http://www.ossur.com/">cool developments</a> in Prosthetics ??

Some excerpts: "Think Europe is inhospitable to small businesses? Think again. Thousands of entrepreneurs behind small, fast-growing companies are showing that good ideas, energy, and luck can overcome typically European burdens on entrepreneurship such as high taxation and heavy regulation" and " For the first time European governments -- from pro-business Netherlands (yeah right..!!) and Ireland to even the more state-heavy economies of France and Germany -- are starting to think seriously about how to unshackle the potential of these kinds of growth companies. For example, Germany's Saarland, a region dotted with abandoned coal mines and foundries, is encouraging local university scientists to commercialize their discoveries by providing cheap office space, access to lab equipment, and crash courses in business fundamentals. France has dramatically cut down the time and red tape it takes to start a business, and is giving tax breaks to jeunes entrepreneurs indépendents. It's the same story in Britain, where corporate taxes for small business where cut to 19% from 23%. Even with all the changes, Europe has much catching up to do. For one, entrepreneurship is not a cultural norm: There are only half the number of companies in Europe as in the U.S. relative to the population, according to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, a research consortium. "Young people in Europe don't get encouragement from family and friends if they want to become entrepreneurs," says Paul Reynolds, an economist at Florida State University "And even if a family wants to help, they don't know anyone who has been an entrepreneur. There just aren't many examples." So to help entrepreneurship along : Come on Mum and Dad , don't buy everything for the little rascals, but have'm sell lemonade, trade cartoonmagazine’s, anything to encourage them to make their own money! And all you high and mighty governmental officials, cut the bullshit reports for a change, get away from behind those desks and start earning your money by helping your local entrepreneurs: ( swap places for a day with them for starters!! ), really stimulate innovation, and DO something! NOW is the time! Update: I just recieved this idea from <a href="http://www.idea-a-day.com/_comment/toast.asp?sub=show&action=posts&amp;fid=2&amp;tid=2216">idea-a-day.com</a>: Introduce a 'Success Class' to high schools. The class would teach kids how to start a business and run one effectively, pointing out where regular school subjects such as math, languages and science can help. The class might also identify what each kid is truly good at and devise coursework to encourage these skills....<a href="http://www.sife.org/">These</a> <a href="http://www.richdad.com/pages/games.asp">orgs</a> are doing it already!

The company also announced that Danny Rimer (Index Ventures), Mike Volpi (Cisco) Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis (Skype) joined the board. Founded just three months ago by serial entrepreneur Martin Varsavsky, FON’s objective is to build a global WiFi network bottom up, with one million hot spots by 2010. To do this, FON users, or "foneros," are able to connect to the Internet via Fon WiFi hotspots provided by other foneros. For foneros, the development of the FON global network means they will be able to connect to the Internet safely and securely all around the globe. For service and application providers such as Skype and Google, the FON network makes their services more available. For ISPs, FON provides a way to expand their reach globally. With a simple download-and-install approach, similar to Skype’s, FON is a secure “by-the-people, for-the-people” network. FON has registered 3,000 members since it went live with a beta of its service in November, 2005. The company plans to use its funding to grow the network of foneros and support the growth of WiFi worldwide, particularly in countries where broadband is currently unaffordable to most people. FON will drive its revenue from a multi-tiered subscription model. Members sign up in one of three foneros categories: Linus, Bill or Alien. Linuses share their home WiFi hotspot with the FON network and can use any FON hotspot for free. Bill's share their WiFi hotspots with Alien members for a fee. Bills cannot roam the FON network for free. Aliens pay to use the FON network on an as-needed basis. Fifty-percent of revenue generated from Aliens will be shared with Bills. Alien memberships are currently available on a free-trial basis. “Aliens are at the heart of our business model,” said Varsavsky. “As we continue to grow, we will attract consumers for all three foneros categories and achieve our goal of creating a global WiFi nation. This is a great opportunity for ISP’s, bloggers, developers, early adopters, consumer electronics manufacturers and the ‘average Joe or Jane’ with a WiFi connection to make money by letting other foneros connect to the Net safely and simply.” ISPs are already signing up to partner with FON. “As a leading ISP in Sweden, Glocalnet is happy to partner with FON . Power Foneros FON has attracted the likes of some of the technology communities’ leading advocates. The well regarded blogger/former newspaper columnist Dan Gillmor and telecom expert David Isenberg have already signed on to serve on the company’s board of advisors, as has Esther Dyson, the well-known blogger Joi Ito and many others.
