Is there a Start up in You- Free Intro Sessions Explores Difference Between a Startup and a Small Business

The NY Tech Meetup is a non-profit organization with over 24,000 members supporting the New York technology communit in a population estimated (2011)at 8,244,910 that is a mere dent. Yet that sector is thriving, of the more than 350 stratups on the Tech Made in NY about 85-90% is hiring!

There is a lot of talk about “Changing the Ratio ” and increasing the numbers of Minorities and women in the Startup scene!

But what exactly is the “Difference Between a Startup and A Small Business”… you can“Google it” and find a Myriad of thoughts… 
one post simplifies it!

Difference Between A Startup And A Small Business

“both are exactly the same, except how the owner thinks about their business. A small business owner is focused on doing it tough for a number of years and hoping they can make it as a business. However a startup thinks big, they dream of their application/product or service being used by millions around the world and funded by VC’s and that is how they direct their business. Small business owners think about doing things slowly and building their business over time.

For products to be “used by millions around the world’- technology makes that possible in so many ways…

so where is technology presently at or headed 
…. and what makes a startup “attractive and likely to be funded by VC’s”

It takes 50-58 Hrs to plan a new business…

• Startups do it in as little as 3 days
• Small businesses ma take 6 months to a year!

 

Image… represents all that a business will need to undertake- You can choose to go it alone. but  each business still has to  handle: all aspects-  ma do not!

Project Pop-Up NYC Competition offers a chance at FREE retail space for September 2012 in NYC

 Indies can  "Pop Up" just about anywhere! Too bad the criteria may  keep some of the most creative out of the running! We've hosted pop ups at the Brookln Museum, Several  Parks, The Federal Plaza, Yatchs, Hotels, Lobbies, gardens, Basements,  backyards and back of trucks! Pop- Up  is the realm of the  independent  and are about the "EXPERIENCE". see details below... note September is NYFW, NY Market Week, Fashion Night Out, and  a host of other events 

 Pop Up Stores are best when created from NEED  and at the core are , grassroots concepts.

So while I  love the city's 2020 initiative it seems designed to exclude the very  people it should be helping! $25000 Many  indies with experience in Pop-up,  report  about  $16000 a year!

 Winning New York City-based Fashion Retailers and Technology Companies Will Participate in a Rent Free, One-of-a-Kind Month-Long Pop-up Store in September

Just yesterday as I rode thru  downtown Brooklyn - Fulton mall, I passed by the site  that  was AlBSquare Mall, I  fondly rermembered "Continuum"  a "pop Up store we did circa 1998/9

Pop up Stores are Grassroots... 

The inherent nature of a Pop- Up store... 

First it was unused or underutilized space- in this case an empty  space below the escalators in the lower level of the mall Second it is  quickly  put  together... we had 2 weeks to  pull together  the designers the concept etc.  Hence "Pop up" .There is a unique feel or concept... in this case we pull all the  abandoned racks in the mall wrapped them in fabric to create "trees" used baskets.and boxes and created a garde ; the product  is unique and not  available elsewhere or at an other time....  we dealt exclusively with independent  designers- we did a great job, and even  sold swimwear that holiday season! You need a unique feature... which  we accidentallyl came across and at the same time solved a major truancy  problem at the  mall!  ou needed marketing... we excelled at this!  All on a budget of zero.. necessity made for creativity! At the end of the month  we had exceeeded expectations and the  "space"  became "hot spot" ... management had so many  offers!  So while i'm excited at the city's competition I wish the creatives were able to  compete. NYC Fashion needs fresh blood and ideas ad creative independents need  help!

#Olympics @NBCOlympics #SocialTV done wrong- missing the opportunity to gain market share

via nbcolympics.com

What will our sector look like in 2015… How is the way we traditionally do things changing ad affecting user habits… how does that reflect in our business model!
Some executive saw it as an opportunity to increase their cable numbers rather than to Look at the bigger picture…
How ma of us are doing the same thing in adapting and adopting technology
Devices are personal… capture that info ad ou have the closest access to an individual
Why extend to these platforms ad miss the market opportunit!
How is this sector changing and leverage their investment to establish a strong footing in an emerging market! It's the subtle changes that old establishments are missing... It’s not just using the technology but how you do so that matters! It seemed so easy-
“View online listings for the 2012 London Olympic Games. Watch every sport live online. Exclusive coverage only on NBC The evenn integrated with Facebook...”
That is till you needed to enter your cable username and password!
NBCOlympics.com has exclusive rights in the US. So in planning their business model the question is were they doing so with a 1998 audience 0r a 2016 audience in mind!
Pure 1998 thinking…
It’s the same challenge we are facing and expect to face with local startups we are encountering and expect to encounter @ Tibiaetech.com
What will our sector look like in 2015… How is the way we traditionally do things changing ad affecting user habits… how does that reflect in our business model!
I’m at a wifi café.. So I asked and not one person in the café where we’re sitting has a cable provider- username and password, nor are they willing to invest in it! Even for the Olympics...
20-40 yr old they are the smart phone, laptop, ipad audience!
The question is how could @nBColmpic have used this opportunity to gain a market advantage!
B y the way are you watching live... did you know you could!
