    Alex Weeks - How to PUSH your idea forward

    Have you got an idea for a business that you sometimes think about? Or do you come across other businesses and admire how they've managed to put a great idea into practice? Do you wonder what opportunities there are to start a tech business and how to go about it? Self-made billionaire Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx says this; “Every person in their life has had a million dollar idea. No doubt. It's just, are you going to take action?” That's a great question to ask yourself. What exactly are you putting into action to achieve your goals? It's a view shared by Derek Sivers, founder of CD Baby in his fabulous oh-so-readable book Anything You Want: 40 Lessons for a New Kind of Entrepreneur. He writes: “To me, ideas are worth nothing unless executed. They are just a multiplier. Execution is worth millions. To make a business, you need to multiply the two.“ It makes sense but sometimes we need to have this truth spelled out clearly. Even if you have the best ideas in the world, if you don't take action, you'll get nowhere. Alex runs a company that helps tech founders who are just starting out turn their ideas into a progressive plan of action, preparing them for launch or to be investor ready. In his talk, Alex will share with us his top tips, based on extensive experience working with entrepreneurs, on where to start when you have an idea, and the essential steps you need to take to test your idea and then launch it into a profitable business.

    We'll be speaking to Raffaella Tenconi to find out all about what female entrepreneurs need to know about the global digital transition in order to succeed. Raffaella is an economist, entrepreneur and a mum of two. She is the founder and Managing Director of ADA Economics, specialising in forecasting currencies and the business cycle. For Raffaella entrepreneurship was always in her blood: she is the daughter of two entrepreneurs and she will tell us how that upbringing inspired her to achieve. She left her native Italy at the age of 17 to study at the London School of Economics and has worked as an economist for Lombard Street Research, Dresdner Kleinwort, Bank of America Merrill Lynch between 2003-2015. Raffaella describes herself as a loyal Londoner since 1998 and tells us she is especially proud of the fact that she became a chief economist for an investment bank before the age of 30 and the fact that she set up her business around the same time as having her two children. We'd say that's definitely an achievement! We absolutely cannot wait to hear from this amazing lady.
