Entrepreneurship Chap 12
Buying an existing business or turnaround business and opening franchises are two options for entrepreneurship. When buying an existing business, advantages include an established business, lower costs, and established policies, while disadvantages include negative seller motivation and key employee losses. Evaluating a turnaround business requires analyzing assets, operations, and the business environment. Guidelines for purchasing turnarounds include establishing a clear market/product, determining profit margins, achieving sales, implementing financial controls, and analyzing statements. Franchising provides advantages like a proven product and business plan but also has disadvantages like restrictions and high startup expenses. Proper evaluation of the franchiser and an understanding of franchise fees are important.

Zapmeals: Sample Startup Pitch Deck (from SuperNova 2007)
Fake startup presentation put together by Dave McClure (500 Hats) & Wayne Lambright (Tastyr.com) for SuperNova 2007. Altho this was a fake company, the slide outline may be useful for other startups.
Drei Phasen des New-Business-Pitch
Pitches sind die Königsdisziplin jeder Werbeagentur. Wettbewerbspräsentationen, die so genanten Pitches sind der Schlüssel zu neuen Aufträgen. Meist ungeliebt, aber oft unumgänglich. Wer Pitches gewinnen will muss diese als überaus komplexen Prozess begreifen und vorausschauend planen.
Die folgende Grafik soll zum einen verdeutlichen, fast jeder Pitch aus drei Phasen besteht, wovon aus meiner Erfahrung gerade die wichtige dritte Phase leider oft sträflich vernachlässigt wird.
Die drei Pitch-Phasen habe ich dann in sinnvolle Projektschritte unterteilt, denen dann (unterhalb der Pfeile) konkrete Ziele und zu leistende Aufgaben zugeordnet sind.
Ich hoffe, die Grafik kann Pitch-Managern mit wenig Erfahrung dabei helfen, den nächsten Pitch besser zu planen und alte New-Business-Hasen noch die eine oder Anregung geben, wie der nächste Pitch noch besser strukturiert und geplant werden kann.
White Paper: Der klassische Pitch und seine Alternativen
Die professionelle Suche nach einem neuen Kreativpartner beziehungsweise der Traumagentur in Form des klassischen Pitches ist leider ein äußerst komplexer und vor allem zeitaufwendiger Prozess. Er bindet in der Regel erhebliche Ressourcen beim Werbungtreibenden, aber auch auf Agenturseite. Dabei stellt der klassische Pitch nur selten den Königsweg zur neuen Agentur dar. Es gibt eine Reihe alternativer Selektionsmethoden, die häufig deutlich schneller, effektiver und ressourcenschonender zu guten Ergebnissen führen, als die gute, alte Wettbewerbspräsentation. Nur sind diese Alternativen bisher wenig bekannt beziehungsweise getreu dem Motto "Was der Bauer, Verzeihung, der Werbetreibende nicht kennt ..." werden diese wunderbaren Alternativ-Pitch-Methoden häufig verkannt und vernachlässigt.
Dieses White Paper ist interessant für Entscheider in den Marketingabteilungen der Werbung treibenden Unternehmen, die die enormen zeitlichen, wie personelle Belastungen eines langwierigen, klassischen Pitches reduzieren möchten, wie für New-Business-Verantwortliche in Agenturen, die ganz sicher daran interessiert sind, die hohen Investitionen in klassische Pitches durch effizientere Auswahlverfahren zu reduzieren.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up Slides
5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
