Entrepreneurship research repeatedly finds that there is no clear way to know which early startups will win. Investing in EVERY startup raising 💰 beats a portfolio of 10 startups selected by a VC 75% of the time (& when VCs do better, it is just by a bit) angellist.com/blog/what-ange…

3. Get young people out of these business plan/model/canvas/pitch competitions and get them building stuff. If business schools spent half as much learning to build stuff as they do in PowerPoint and “validating demand” there would be 100x as many companies.

The pandemic has highlighted the importance of digital inclusion - and the challenges faced by those left behind. Now this digital skills app co-created by people with intellectual disabilities, for people with intellectual disabilities, is aiming to change lives.
Delighted to share the exciting news that @Akara_Robotics has been awarded more than €2.4M in funding from the European Innovation Council🇪🇺So proud of our amazing team and grateful to our incredible partners and collaborators who have helped us achieve this milestone.

Brilliant demonstration of the difference between data and the story the data tell. It's one thing to sort, arrange, and visualize data and another thing to make sense of data by putting all the pieces together! 🙏 @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter (via Mónica Rosales Ascencio)

Today I start as a Prof of Engineering Design @EngUniMelb @UniMelb. Looking forward to building new #interdisciplinary programs between #engineering and #design. Happily putting on bigger shoes, taking the best of all the places I have been to to create something new. Stay tuned!

New results on how the different #creativity mechanisms work. You can easily swap e.g. building on others to stimulation, or combining ideas to classifying ideas. They all work. Ideation methods do not need to be rigid. #ADFresearch Find the paper here: doi.org/10.1115/1.4051239
