Discover the Unseen Connection: E=mc² Meets Philanthropy In a groundbreaking video, we've brought Albert Einstein back to the forefront of innovation, not just in physics, but in the realm of philanthropy. Imagine Einstein's legendary equation, E=mc², serving as a bridge to a revolutionary concept in donor dedication: C=Md². Dive into an extraordinary journey where one small coin can enhance donor emotional connection while maximizing donor engagement and commitment. 🤝 C=Md²: A New Theory of Donor Dedication: C represents the Coin - Patented custom minted coin that links any smartphone with NFC directly to the donation page. M embodies the Mission or cause you're sharing. d² signifies the dedication and donations squared. This isn't just another video. It's an invitation to rethink how we connect with the core values of philanthropy through the lens of one of the greatest minds in history. Einstein's insights have reshaped our understanding of the cosmos; now, let's see how they might transform our approach to fostering lasting bonds with donors. https://lnkd.in/eu-Z-cvT

When things unexpectedly gain momentum… 🍫🏁 What started as a simple idea for my 10-year-old son to sell brownies and raise money for Cancer Research UK (CRUK) at a racing event this weekend has gained more traction than we anticipated! After canvassing interest from the drivers, we’re now looking at making over 100 brownies! 😅 It’s a perfect example of how sometimes, what begins as a small initiative can quickly build momentum. Whether in fundraising or in business, you never know when a great idea will take off—what matters is how you respond and scale up to meet the demand. At Demand Technology International Limited, we know this feeling well. Many of our clients come to us with innovative ideas that need to be scaled up, and we’re ready to help them accelerate, no matter the speed of growth. Wish us luck in the kitchen this week! 🍀 And a big thanks to everyone supporting such a great cause. 🙌 #fundraising #growth #innovation #manufacturing #CancerResearchUK #bakingforacause #motorsport

How long should a 2024 fundraiser take? I asked that to a leading food tech CEO last night- He raised $35M. He is setting aside a full 12 Months to raise his upcoming round. While warm intros are best- crafting relevant cold messaging can get you in front of pertinent investors of 2024. In the video i below i share my framework. For an amazing framework, i recommend reading an article by Amit Shechter of Fusion VC "Don't play ping-pong. Get your VC meeting with a single email" I'll link it in the notes in the comment.

Kura Labs provides online instruction for Cloud computing development, operations and maintenance; all are grounded in the needs of business. It is a free training tool to upskill professionals or add professional value to new graduates from high school or university. The award for the lab's work, is a direct indication that we should possess a working knowledge about "how" Cloud Computing-beyond AWS-impacts our various professions. A good self-education strategy is to start with high performance computing (HPC) and scale downward. Human helpdesks are vanishing and customer service will expand "limited or no human contact."

👩💻 You’ve spent days constructing your pitch deck. You’ve written slides, re-written slides, changed the order, changed the emphasis, changed the layout etc etc… ad nauseam. 👍🏻 You’re finally happy with it and ready to release it into the world, but before you do, you want to share it with a few folks for feedback. 😱 BEWARE!! This is when Frankenstein’s monster can be born. https://lnkd.in/e42tBFnt #pitchdeck #fundraising #pitching101 #venturecapital

Universities indeed provide a foundation for learning, yet it is through real-world experiences, mentors, and the entrepreneurial journey that we truly learn how to think critically and innovate. Those who dare to think differently become the disruptors shaping the narratives of our ever-evolving world. Embrace the power of disruptive thinking and continue to redefine the status quo!

I was mentioned in the post of Maarten Verschuere - Tech Speaker Moderator where there was the following statement: "Homework is the thing that is keeping our kids from becoming billionaires." I am an art collector, and in the arts, starting in the 19th century, the marginal artist-living-under-the-bridge has been romanticised as the only way you could be considered as a 'real' and 'authentic' artist. This image still lives in many minds of people today. I feel the same romanticising is happening here with entrepreneurs-dropouts. First of all, I believe that not generalising is proof of maturity. A college degree isn't a necessity to become a successful entrepreneur. But not having a college degree isn't a necessity either. For some it worked, for others it didn't. Maybe it would be better for conversations like these to have the data on the amount of kids dropped out to start a company versus the success rate of these cases? By the way, Sam Altman is brought up as an example, but with his first startup Loopt he joined the accelerator Ycombinator in 2005, which could be considered as the best entrepreneur school you could get as a tech founder at the time. So he didn't stop learning and accumulating knowledge, or surrounding himself with the right network. Some people are blinded by the few 'success stories' of those who dropped out, and then using that as an argument. It isn't related for me. The average age of founders in Start it Accelerate | @KBC is over 35. 60% of them had a corporate career before making the 'jump'. And the success rate can be linked to the age of the founders. Not only in Belgium by the way. To be clear: I don't link the narrow aspect of 'age' with 'success'. I do consider what these people have learnt and built in these extra years: a network, maturity, capital, stability, expertise, grit, self awareness, confidence, and maybe even some frustration ;-).. I truly believe that entrepreneurship, future and exponential thinking, creativity, collaboration (especially focussed on diversity in project/homework/school teams, self awareness, resilience...) should MUCH MORE be part of the school curriculum. We learn our kids to reproduce, not to be creative and entrepreneurial with what they learn. And that's also because our teachers are not trained enough to do so either, nor do they have the freedom to operate or time/mental space. So it's not their "fault". It's a societal-visionary problem. To conclude, honestly, if there would be homework tackling these issues, so our kids could become much more equipped for future challenges, I would very much applaud that.
