Good morning everybody! Over 15 years ago, Boston New Technology helped to pioneer the concept of The Startup Showcase and in a short time began to generate massive impact for the tech and business scene. I pitched my startups at the showcase, as did Jason and countless other luminaries here in New England and beyond. As Nathan Therrien once told me: (I paraphrase) "The showcase was something to look forward to. It was a staple. A can't miss kind of thing". For that reason, BNT isn't just bringing the Startup Showcase back officially, we're doing so purposefully in the following way: The Global Virtuals, on EKOS.AI These will be held monthly and exclusively on EKOS. These events are designed to connect with our international audience, featuring innovative startups from around the globe in a dynamic and interactive virtual environment. It’s a fantastic opportunity for startups to gain global exposure and for our community to experience the forefront of technological innovation. All startups who participate in Precision Pitch Practice and want to can qualify for the end-of-month showcase. The Grand Showcases: We will now be hosting 4 Yearly Grand Showcases, rotating across tech hubs in Boston and New England. Each of these prestigious events will spotlight ten outstanding startups, blending local and virtual interactions to enrich both our regional and global tech ecosystems. These showcases will blend what those familiar with the old showcases remember and miss with new, relevant, and exciting innovations. We'll be working with some amazing partners and ensuring that every Grand Showcase will be an unforgettable experience. The dates for both our Globals and Grands will be released this upcoming Friday as part of the BNT Extra Byte blog -- thanks to Mohit Ravindra Kamble, Rithiga Vijayakumar, and Harshita Nimbal. Thanks everyone for being patient with us, keeping the faith, and being awesome with your feedback. The Showcase is back! #BostonNewTechnology #BNT #BNT_StartupShowcase #startups #entrepreneurship

What a London Tech Week 2024! With over 90 countries represented, this is where the global tech ecosystem intersects with the investment, innovation and talent which calls the UK home (Quoted from LTW 's webpage). I mainly focused on entrepreneurship at Founders Stage and Pitch Stage. My main takeaways are 1. A great opportunity to seek clarity in areas of starting and running a business from someone who have already gone through, e. g. fundraising, founding team, and intellectual property (IP) or other legal issues. 2. Allowing me to understand practicality of funding by listening and talking to those investors and founders who successfully raised funds and challenges facing. And, tips and tricks shared by panelists who are venture capitalists are incredibly useful. 3. An excellent platform to showcase your own innovative idea(s), proof of concept, and MVP that addresses a specific problem through pitch sessions. I remember one of sessions is called Rising Star. And this year's Rising Star is Novai, Early Detection Prevents Blindness and Disability. 4. The best timing (perhaps) to refine your business ideation simply by talking to founders and startups in the same field as you do for someone just starts their entrepreneurship journey. 5. Golden opportunities to know about innovation and invention in health and healthcare since I am passionate about healthcare. Panellists, Audrey Tsang from Clue, Sam Brearey from AccesserCise, Chaye Cabal-Revilla from Metro Pacific Health shared their thoughts on areas that they have made breakthrough using technologies. Meanwhile, medtech hardware startups like Charco will significantly improve the elderly living with Parkinson's their quality of life. PS: I am yet an entrepreneur, but I am deeply inspired by founders and entrepreneurs who have solved problems big and small and who are determined to solve pressing issues in the world we live in today. Despite of knowing entire process of startup from ideation, fundraising to launch product/services in academic setting, attending events like this enormously increases my level of confidence and determination. 💪 #LondonTechWeek2024 #Entrepreneurship #Startups #Innovation #Investors

🌟A Day at Station F: Where Ideas Meet Action” 🌟 What an exhilarating experience it was to step into Station F🚀 , the world's largest startup incubator, right in the vibrant heart of Paris. It's a place where dreams are nurtured🌱, and the future of technology is being written by today's brightest minds. Stepping into Station F transcended mere observation; it was an immersive journey of connection, enlightenment, and inspiration. My trip to Station F shattered the "great idea + funding = success" myth 📈. These are table stakes for the startups. But scaling? That's a whole other level game. Having a unique value proposition is key 🔑, but retaining customers for your innovative product/service, finding and retaining the right talent with the right mindset 👥 , and staying ahead in a dynamic field like GenAI – that's the ultimate challenge. I had the pleasure of meeting with some of the most forward-thinking leaders in the industry. Conversations with Charles Doxuan, CMO @ Alcméon, Marin Champenois, CEO @Up&Charge, and Mehdi El Azhari, Founder & CEO @ Hyper Crunch AI were not just insightful—they were transformative. They shared their journeys, the challenges of scaling in the GenAI 🌐 era, and the strategies that have propelled them forward. A heartfelt thanks to Professor David Sluss, Crystèle Juste and the ESSEC's Leading@Scale Chair for orchestrating this unforgettable experience. Their guidance turned a simple visit into a profound growth experience, fueling our entrepreneurial passions🔥. Incubators like Station F are not just a place, it's a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit, and a reminder that with the right support and community, startups can soar to incredible heights🏆. #StationF #Innovation #StartupLife #Entrepreneurship #TechLeadership  #Gratitude #LearningJourney #ScaleUpSuccess

#StartupEcosystem 🌟 The Ultimate Guide to Startup Hotspots in the US for 2023 🌟 As meticulously analyzed by Peter Walker, the latest rankings reveal the top US cities for startup funding by industry, leveraging comprehensive data from Carta for Seed, Series A, and Series B rounds in the first half of 2023. It's the definitive leaderboard you’ve been waiting for! 😁 Despite exploring the data by different sectors, it seems the Bay Area continues to lead, clinching the top position for capital invested in 7 out of 10 industry verticals. 🚀 However, the influence of Carta’s client base might skew heavily towards Silicon Valley, indicating a possible bias, yet underscoring the region's unshakeable position in the startup ecosystem. Here are some eye-opening highlights: ⟹ Boston emerges as a powerhouse in biotech, significantly outpacing the Bay Area, and shows strength in medical devices, making it a prime location for life science startups. ⟹ Austin is making impressive strides, ranking in the top 3 for both energy and fintech sectors. ⟹ Healthtech shows a promising spread across 9 cities, each securing over $50M in investments. ⟹ Los Angeles shines in gaming and holds a strong position in consumer markets. Interestingly, cities like Dallas/Fort Worth and Chicago seem underrepresented in VC importance relative to their population sizes. If the analysis shifted from total capital to the number of funding rounds, some surprising entries might drop, suggesting that capital invested remains a solid indicator of a city's activity and importance in the startup landscape. What do you think about Europe; would be nice to have the same graph? Dealroom.co? Carta #cartadata #startups #seed #SeriesA #SeriesB #fundraising
