   Akhsar Kharebov
   Feb 2013 @ SJSU
WARNING:
Don't try to write this
 presentation down. 


        It's online! 
Breakdown


Part 1: A word on Entrepreneurship...

Part 2: How to get started?

Part 3: Q & A

Part 4: Round Table over food
Definition of sorts...


entre·pre·neurship n.     The process by which an
entrepreneur identifies solutions to what others see
as problems. This process significantly reduces the
economic cost of the problem, thus creating the
value for the stakeholders.
Idiomatic

Finding a diamond in the rough

Cooking a stone soup

Setting up the dominos effect
Functional


Solving a real problem

Getting people to use your solution

Happens in organizations of all sizes
Statistically


Lot of small failures

Few stupendous successes

Generates all the wealth
Three Skills



Vision: Predict where the ball is going

Execution: Guts to leave the herd  

Flexibility: Manage constant change
Picking An Idea



Lacks a solution on the market

Overlaps skills needed to execute 

Depends on team you can secure
Building a Team:

In the real world or at least Silicon Valley:

Availability beats talent

Always pursue A+ talent

Team fit. Drive. Ability to grow
Building Products


Iterate: Build quickly, release often

Customer: Lead and listen

Focus: Ventures die of indigestion
Operating a StartUp:


First low hanging fruit ... but dont stop there

Grow market share, minimize margins aggressively

It's a marathon and execution is king
Putting it all together




slide from Lex Sisney presentations at organizationalphysics.com/
To get involved. Start Early.

Get your foot in the door any
       way possible.
Do something.



The best way to get involved
  in the industry is to start
        working in it.
Getting In:

1. You can start your own start-up. (Very High
Risk/Reward)



2. Target. Research. Approach very early start-ups
for any job they have - they hire on availability. (High
Risk/Medium Reward)
Easier Way
3. MOST IMPORTANT: Acquire some useful
combination skills
- Engineering
- Sales / Marketing (later stage)
(Low Risk/High Reward)

(Hint: Do 1 and/or 2 on as a side gig, to get to 3)
Learn Applicable Skills


● Learning is easier than ever. 

● Tools, Tutorials, Videos, Books and Courses are
  online and often free. (Appendix I)

● Applicable? ...See next slide
Creative Learning
  Your aim should be to create
 something with your new skills. 

Doesn't have to be perfect or big.
     Just make something. 

 Simplicity is brilliance. You can
 even build something for your
        family or friends.
