Being pitched at, often feels like being picked-up. Investors don't want you to be boring or sleazy or worse, feel manipulated and end up with buyer's remorse. There is a WEALTH of great stuff online about how to structure a great pitch. So this is not one of those. This is a peek into the subtle ways to win the long game between investors and inventors. [This deck probably won't make much sense if you weren't there, but for my amazing crowd at #SparkUp - thank you, hope this is a handy revival]. Books mentioned: Think like a Freak - Dubner and Levitt; Anti-Fragile- Nassim Nicholas Taleb; Art of War - Sun Tzu and the War of Art - Steven Pressfield; Sherry Turkle - Alone Together (the robot jealousy story) STORYCRAFT asides worth checking out: http://www.spokepoint.com/ - http://www.jasonshen.com/2012/eleven-compelling-startup-pitch-archetypes-with-examples-from-yc-companies/ - Jason Shen on the 11 archetypes emerging from YCombinator http://www.writersstore.com/the-8-steps-to-a-powerful-pitch/ Embed the Hero's Journey into your psyche - it comes up everywhere, we humans find it compelling.

0 Crowdfunding: what works, now /maxkaizen/crowdfunding-whats-working-now crowdfundingtips-140121023303-phpapp02
Crowdfunding offers so much more than just money for start-up projects. It's funds with benefits. What works in raising money changes quickly, but for now. There are some fairly solid principles that hold: What to expect; what to beware of; what costs are meaningful and some tips on fan engagement. This is the notes-added version of a stripped-back presentation, so not perfect for using in the realworld. But hopefully handy if you're about to embark on a crowdfunding campaign of your own. PS. good luck! And please pop on a link to your campaign if you have one about to launch. I'd love to track it. ]]>

From Legal Rights and Copyleft for Business Acumen lecture for Artists at UCT Graduate School of Business. A primer to help artists get a sense of how to protect and promote their own creative works within the vibrant and rapidly evolving connection-economy. There is increased fear of copying, and stealing of intellectual property. Creative entrepreneurs have astonishing market advantage however, thanks to the dizzying scope of the internet: to get into direct contact with their fans; sell & pre-sell; draw on the pool of open-licensed culture and tools; develop and test new business models in more fluid IP environments. This is how we learn to make amazing things, with rules. And exercise our rights to expand what edifies our humanity. ]]>
