VentureBeat: The Founders Institute’s Adeo Ressi on his plans to leave no entrepreneur behind

  • Olga Kostrova (IdeaMama) · 2 months ago
    Does anybody moderate the comments on VentureBeat? I think you guys should, based on a few abracadabras above.

    Ok, since I have owned the venture incubator for few years now, I am definitely interested in understanding better some metrics used by your team, Adeo. I can't understand your framework, unfortunately, based on this interview.

    Our incubator hinges on the unique technology for incubation, nevertheless I still see numbers of elements that are missing in our framework and I am still searching for "what, how and whys" to improve both the process and the technology. Our goal is conceiving 100,000 new enterprises per year globally with the success rate (profitability) at least 1% - yes, I know, super-pupper ambitious, but I believe - doable... only if.... So far, of course, it's not, unless we polish the technology and then scale significantly.

    My main point here is... we open our platform to absolutely anybody with no "discrimination".

    I am keen to see your results. The one things that discourages me about your process is that you select those that already have very high potential for success (as all preliminary tests demonstrate) and then give credits to your educational system. Questionable approach. The knowledge that entrepreneurs with selected aptitude and may be personality profiles receive in your program is not an influencing factor to their success, really, and any incubator or educational unit that are trying to take a credit for bringing Einstein's work to fruition is a full of themselves - Einstein would happen with or without them.
    All those people need is an ecosystem, multiple diverse ecosystems to be precise. Any structured knowledge can only damage their unbounded ability to innovate. We all know that MBA is good for investor bankers and management consultants, not as much for entrepreneurs. (You all are welcome to argue, but statistics don't lie). Structured mind is less of an open mind.

    In any case, Adeo, I would be very interested to learn more about what you are building and may be ways to collaborate. You have a training infrastructure - we have a technology and thousands of users... Who knows what can come up with that. :-)
    Thank you for sharing, guys.

    The Funded is such a crappy site that anything he started would have no credibility with me. It would be like having my company vetted by the old F*d Company. Losers.

    Globalization among the top 50 US online retailers

    Posted: 22 Oct 2009 01:10 PM PDT

    Zia_Wigder
    By Zia Daniell Wigder

    The past week has seen two significant online retailers make announcements about their global plans: last week Gap indicated its intention to expand into Canada and the UK and yesterday Buy.com launched sites for Canada, the UK, France and Germany, with Italy and Spain to come.

    One-third of the top 50 already global. Both online retailers above rank in the top 50 on the Internet Retailer list (Gap at #25 and Buy.com at #33). They join a growing number of retailers with international operations in the top 50: according to a webtrack we did last year, some 34% of the top 50 online retailers were operating international versions of their websites. Among the top 10, the percentage is now 100%.

    Globalization of the top 10 varies greatly. There’s a big dichotomy, however, in terms of the global expansion rates of the top 10 online retailers. Six of the top 10 operate a half-dozen or fewer transactional sites outside the US: Amazon, Sears, CDW, OfficeMax, Newegg and Best Buy. By contrast, the remaining four operate 20 or more non-US transactional sites: Staples, Dell, Office Depot and Apple.

    Revenues come through depth as well as breadth. The number of global sites does not necessarily correlate with global revenues, however. Retailer/manufacturers such as Dell and Apple often operate dozens of international sites. Both companies see about 10% of sales through the online channel and take in around half of their overall revenues from international markets. Yet with just six international sites, Amazon boasts a similar percentage of revenues from global markets. And Sears, with only one majority-owned international operation (Sears Canada), sees its Canadian operations generating almost 20% of the revenues of Sears’ domestic business. While breadth is likely to be a strategy taken by some online retailers – often manufacturers mapping their online footprint to their offline presence – depth in certain markets can also yield significant returns.

    Retail won’t imitate media or travel. And while leaders in some online sectors such as media and travel have established extensive global reach (Yahoo and MSN both offer over 40 localized sites, US airlines such as American and Delta operate over 20), most retailers are likely to continue their slower approach to international markets. Indeed, the numerous distribution challenges and regulatory hurdles that come with global retail expansion will result in many retailers continuing to take a cautious approach to new global markets.

    Mr. Ressi,

    I understand the need to model everything and anything in order to measure rate of success of certain individuals (would be entrepreneurs). Let's get the test going on every college and graduate school all around the country is this is what it takes to jump start the economy and the freedom of people. I believe people are entrepreneurs or they are not. The only criteria to be is: just F. do it, and fail fast and cheap in order to discover and learn what would stick. Great idea anyways, contact me please to take the test and bring it to Utah.
