Status: approved Member: Devashish S Type: Meetup Estimated size: 10 Rooms: Conference Room Details: Jill Nephew: Cognitive Computing Meets the Psyche Jill is the Founder of Life Constellation, a cognitive computing platform for life learning. She will discuss what happens when you allow a computing system into the mind, and how cognitive computing may realize the promise of at least a 1000X acceleration in self-learning, which is the foundation of successful outcomes and behavior change. She will also talk about the ways in which data science will play a key role in discovering the psychological interventions of the future. Jill first started working on algorithms for physics based animation and protein folding while she was an undergraduate. She fell in love with cognitive computing working with a NASA based startup developing algorithms for scheduling and planning, and retooling the A.I. solution. She then went on to work on metadata based languages trying to solve the problem of taking business rules directly into executable, efficient code that doesn't require learning a new set of abstractions.

Follow up to the 4-Week Startup Seminar. ___________________________________________________________________________ Can your Startup do this: ��� get potentially fundable Traction - Product/Market Fit - in 3 to 6 months? ��� build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with 1 week of Product Development? ��� lower development costs up to 75% with a Product that "just works"? ��� increase user/customer engagement with Activities - Features that "emerge"? ��� refine your Strategy for Acquisition & Monetization every month? You can - with the 4-Week Startup (4WS)! Startups from Silicon Valley to Iowa, Australia to India are applying the 4WS program. ���we were going down a development path doomed for failure and didn't know it! Murali turned us around in the right direction ��� The time and money spent bringing him in has definitely been saved over and over again 1 year later��� - Sam Murley, Cofounder, Hub Monkey, and R&D Manager, Design Mill Inc. ___________________________________________________________________________ The 4-week Startup - Success is a Choice * 4-weeks to User/Customer Validation: Get Validation from Users & Customers with no more than a week of coding * 3 to 6 Months to Product/Market Fit - a.k.a. Traction (example: enough Traction to build a Lifestyle or SMB business, or to realistically target VC Funding) _______________________________________________________________________ DETAILS: ���4-Week Startup (4WS)��� is a proven Go-to-Market Strategy framework for startups to get market validation and traction in 3 to 6 months by enabling strategic collaboration among all stakeholders. In this hands-on, custom, highly interactive seminar based on actual startups, learn how to optimize *your* startup's go-to-market strategy for user / customer engagement, while shortening time to market and lowering development costs - in turn leading to features that ���emerge��� and products that ���just work���. The 4-Week Startup model is built around three simple and powerful abstractions: > Activities are a unit of User/Customer Engagement & UI design that lead to just-in-time User Stories (unit of implementation), eliminating unwieldy Product Backlogs and byte-size feature-creep inevitable with Feature-derived User Stories. > Plans are monthly strategies for user/customer validation for a single core Activity. > Milestones: are major business goals that can be achieved with 3 to 6 monthly Plans You will create a single source of truth with three simple, flexible, interoperating models of your product strategy & business plan, and execution capability: > Visioning Phase: Vision driven Features > Go-to-Market Strategy Phase: Milestone driven Activities; and > Agile/Lean Implementation: ROI driven metrics for Agility, Quality, and ���Definition of DONE��� for User Stories/Activities, and grades for monthly strategic Plans. The final payoff is when you see how you can map your 4WS model directly into your operational plan for investor pitches. And change them all at will as market realities change. ________________________________________________________________________ About the 4WeekStartup Coach ___________________________ Murali Krishna Devarakonda is the founder of Agile Entrepreneurs and a startup coach. ���we were going down a development path doomed for failure and didn't know it!

Status: approved Member: Laura Nelson Type: Workshop Estimated size: 50 Rooms: Large Event Room Details: Hackers/Founders is pleased to welcome Norberto Ortigoza for a 2-day bootcamp on Elixir, Erlang, Phoenix and OTP so you can go on to create awesomeness. Norberto is a self-described "programming languages nerd" and an experienced lecturer and instructor. DESCRIPTION 1. Elixir is a new programming language for the Erlang Virtual Machine. It has a huge momentum and is getting attention because it brings a familiar syntax and good tooling to the Erlang ecosystem. All of this without scarifying the benefits of Erlang such as fault tolerance, massive concurrency, scalability and performance. 2. In this class we are going to learn about the architecture of the Erlang virtual machine (BEAM). Why it is important for the kind of systems we are building now and for the future. We also see Elixir, its philosophy, design and main concepts; functional programming and its relation with object oriented programming, pattern matching, processes, protocols and behaviours. 3. Finally, we learn about Phoenix and OTP. Phoenix is a framework similar to Rails or Node.js, in the sense that it brings productivity and easy of use to web development, but it takes advantage of the Erlang infrastructure. OTP is the set of good practices and principles to design fault tolerant, highly available systems in Erlang and Elixir. Bring your laptop and make a quantum leap forward in your understanding of these languages. -- http://events.hackerdojo.com/event/5848149440593920-h-f-elixir-erlang-phoenix-otp-bootcamp-day-1-

Status: approved Member: Raj Lal Type: Meetup Estimated size: 98 Info URL: http://www.meetup.com/Igniter/events/224292416/ Fee: 10 Rooms: Large Event Room Details: Most new products ideas fail in the market not due to poor marketing or execution, but because they are not "The Right It" ��� they are not products that people actually want. Even when properly carried out, many commonly used market research techniques too often lead to false positives or false negatives. Originally developed at Google in 2009, pretotyping is an approach to market research and testing that combines lean and rapid product prototyping techniques with Bayesian analysis and other metrics to significantly increase confidence in the market's interest for a potential new product. In this lecture, Alberto will introduce the concept of pretotyping along with several "preto-metrics", provide several real-world examples of this powerful technique in action and, to help crystallize the concepts, will challenge the audience with some pretotyping exercises. Alberto Savoia As an early Google employee, Alberto led the launch of the company���s multi-billion dollar AdWords product and, later, became Google's Innovation Agitator. In addition, Alberto is a successful serial entrepreneur and investor. He has been teaching his approach to maximize successful product innovation (which he calls pretotyping) at Google, Stanford and to dozens of Fortune 500 companies for the past three years and to rave reviews. His handbook ���Pretotype It���Make sure that you are building The Right It before you build It right��� has already been translated in a dozen languages and has become an essential guide for thousands of innovators and entrepreneurs world-wide. For his work on innovation, he has been recognized with many industry awards, including The Wall Street Journal Technical Innovator Award. You can learn more about Alberto at www.AlbertoSavoia.com and about pretotyping at at www.pretotyping.org. -- http://events.hackerdojo.com/event/5888441602539520-idea-hacking-with-pretotyping-make-sure-you-are-building-the-right-it-before-you-built-it-right-with-alberto-savoia
