Tech Venture Videos/Podcasts

By admin, January 22, 2009 7:45 am

Post links to videos and podcasts that you find that related to technology entrepreneurship. Each video should be at least 3 minutes in length. Second, rate the videos on a scale of 1 to 5 based on whether you think it would be worthwhile for other students to view. Finally, give a detailed explanation (100-300 words) for each rating.In this explanation, give an idea of why the speaker has legitimacy on the topic (why should we listen to them), the key argument (if there is one), important concepts (state them), best audience for the video (to whom specifically would you recommend the video), whether the video is universally valid (do the arguments and concepts only work in Silicon Valley during the dot-com era), and most importantly, if it will change your own future behavior. Please strive for completeness and brevity, by covering all of these points in the word limits. If you think that some requirement does not apply to your video, just state so.

A few great video podcast sources are:

Berkeley’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology: http://cet.berkeley.edu/Resources/CETLectures.html

Stanford’s E-corner: http://ecorner.stanford.edu/

Tech Ideas

Please post a brief description of your technology idea that you plan to develop in this class.  Also, if you would like to gather other students to your group, you can post your needs here.

There are currently three potential technology ideas on which you can work if you do not have your own technology idea.  The ideas include a cell phone application that enables restaurant orders and payment; an enzyme-based swimming pool treatment, and an enzyme-based water treatment.  The first idea is being developed by a group of CSOM students. The second two ideas come from an enthusiastic researcher at UMN.

If you would like feedback or help with your technology ideas, including ideas from your idea journal) please post them here.
