Focusing on too many ideas and not narrowing your focus can hurt a startup's chances of success. It is important to pick one core idea and focus all your efforts on developing that single concept to the highest standard before expanding into other areas. Startups that try to do too much at once risk spreading their resources too thin and not fully developing any one aspect of their business.
What Makes Millennial Entrepreneurs Unique Scott Sadler

We’re all human. And unfortunately that means that every now and then you forget to turn on your brain. Especially when you run a startup there’s the occasional gaffe that in retrospect seems absolutely embarrassing. HOW COULD WE BE SO STUPID?
For this one we had to dig quite deep into our memory. Since we’re running such a tight ship we could only muster up 5 rookie mistakes…
Nah, not even Team Floown is perfect. But as Barack Obama said: “You try to figure out how to be in the moment, make the best decision you can, know that you’re going to get a bunch of them right, but a bunch of times you’re also not going to get it exactly the way you want it.â€
Meaning, don’t fret too long over all the small mistakes. You can have a bad morning, a bad afternoon, but when you keep focused and positive you might write the most genius code, design the most beautiful logo, or make the best decision in the evening. Just because you kept at it, and let loose the negativity of what was before.
Our rookie mistakes hopefully make you laugh. Put a smile on your face. And when you run an into a similar situation, hopefully you won’t make that same mistake. But more importantly, always remember to keep on moving. After five mistakes, the sixth thing you do might be the best thing you’ll ever do.

Ben-Gurion International Airport implemented a security concept during Operation Protective Edge to protect the airport from rocket attacks by Hamas. The security division operates under the airport managing director and is responsible for preventing attacks on aircraft, in the airport grounds, and admitting explosives. The security concept combines human security officers and advanced technologies. It uses security circles and zones, as well as automated foreign object detection on runways to maintain airport operations during threats of rocket attacks. During Operation Protective Edge, over 4,000 rockets were fired at Israel but none struck the airport grounds, allowing airport activities to continue without interruption.

Two researchers, Boaz Melnik and Nitzan Hoorgin, have developed a super cheap and energy efficient air conditioner that can be built at home for a very low budget using common materials. Their design costs only $90 to make and uses passive cooling techniques to circulate air for up to 6 hours and cool an area of 1.5 meters. It has the potential to provide relief from heat for hundreds of millions of people worldwide who cannot otherwise afford air conditioning.
This document introduces GreenSpense, a new propellant-free continuous dispensing technology. GreenSpense aims to eliminate the drawbacks of traditional pressurized dispensing methods such as high costs, safety issues, and limited material options. It claims to be more eco-friendly by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and allowing for less preservatives. GreenSpense also aims to unleash packaging design creativity by enabling any material and shape. It is presented as reducing production and transportation costs. The technology has received recognition from cleantech competitions and the document promotes joining the "propellant-free revolution."
EVR Motors has developed a new direct drive generator for wind turbines that is at least 50% lighter than existing designs. Their generator uses a novel axial flux permanent magnet topology that reduces the overall costs of a wind turbine by approximately 20% compared to traditional radial flux permanent magnet designs. EVR's 27.5kW generator is over 200% lighter and 12% more efficient than comparable generators from Italy and China. EVR plans to initially produce and market small scale turbines under 100kW and license their technology for larger turbines over 1MW to wind turbine manufacturers.
This document summarizes the findings of the "Global Cleantech Innovation Index 2014" report. The report analyzed which countries have the greatest potential to produce entrepreneurial cleantech start-up companies over the next 10 years. Israel placed first overall, scoring highest in emerging cleantech innovation drivers. This is due to Israel demonstrating the greatest density of high-impact cleantech start-ups and strengths in areas like business sophistication, entrepreneurial culture, venture capital activity, and environmental patents.
AutoAgronom Ltd. is an agricultural technology company that has developed a system called AutoAgronom to precisely control nutrient delivery to plants. Field tests show their system has increased crop yields by up to 1200% while reducing water and fertilizer use by up to 75% and 50% respectively compared to traditional farming practices. The system monitors soil conditions and delivers nutrients as needed through capillary action and automatic delivery, adapting nutrient levels for day and night cycles to optimize plant growth. AutoAgronom's system outperformed competitors by better controlling nutrient levels, moisture, and oxygen availability in soils.
This document provides an overview of key legal and business issues for Israeli startup companies entering the US market through New York State.
