Yes, you may have seen that Black Mirror episode where a robotic dog hunts people, and you may notice the ​uncanny resemblance with Spot​, the newest robot dog from Boston Dynamics. The similarity probably doesn’t mean anything other than a creative license ​from the creators of the show. But the truth is that forward-thinking companies like Boston Dynamics are bringing robots into our lives sooner than we probably expected.

We started our first company in 2011 and had no idea how startups worked. Never heard of venture capital, never heard of the concept of an angel investor. We were based in Costa Rica, where the startup ecosystem was pretty much non-existent. Still, our company was then accepted in @DreamItVentures Ventures in New York, which sparked a chain of events that led us to you watching this video. We know how to pitch because DreamIt was a crash course in how the startup ecosystem worked. It was also a soft landing in New York City that allowed me to build a network. One of the people responsible Steve Barsh, who you probably remember as a guest for some of our videos. Steve gave the intro talk at the program, and we remember Steve's talk distinctively, as it indeed was the beginning of the journey for me. Today we'll be chatting with Steve about how DreamIt had to pivot their model. #startups #Slidebean #DreamIt 0:00 Intro 2:07 What is an accelerator? 2:28 Pivoting DreamIt 5:13 Should entrepreneurs still go for Accelerators? 5:49 Does age matter when starting a company? 7:35 Is location important? 11:13 Being clever in more than one way Read the video transcription: https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-podcast-accelerators?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=ba-content Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere and https://instagram.com/caya_here Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.

    This is the reason drugs are so EXPENSIVE! 💰 | Sidebean

    This is the reason drugs are so EXPENSIVE! 💰 We don’t just make videos. We help startups present to investors. ► https://youtube.slidebean.com/shkreli #startups #slidebean #PharmaBro How do you become the most hated man in America? Well, first, you have to mess with people’s health. You also have to take to Twitter and troll everybody who criticizes you. Basically, be an a**hole. By the way, you can also take part in securities fraud and be happy that you end up in jail. Jail won’t stop you. In fact, you might even work from there. And, anyway, you’ll be out in months, and all of us, can’t stop you from doing any of this again. We’ve just described Martin Shkreli, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. 0:00 Martin Shkreli - Intro 1:14 Martin Shkreli - Fraud is the name of the game 3:31 Martin Shkreli -The road to hell is paved with good intentions 6:04 Martin Shkreli - Rare disease jackpot 9:09 Martin Shkreli -There’s no fixing Shkreli Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere https://instagram.com/caya_here Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.
