Clearing plastic waste from the streets and creating jobs at the same time. This is one of the business ideas which would probably never have been realized without "Be! Fund". The founders of such start--ups are poor and start capital is scarce. Deutsche Bank employee Joris Hensen is helping the non-profit organization with its development and structuring and convincing sponsors of the future success of the projects. Deutsche Bank has supported "Be! Fund" - India's first non-profit venture fund since 2011 . Young entrepreneurs are given the start capital necessary to launch local initiatives aimed at solving social, economic or environmental problems.

Download link here: netsaved.com Google Tech Talk September 29, 2010 Presented by Steve Jurvetson. ABSTRACT Many of the interesting challenges in computer science, nanotechnology, and synthetic biology entail the construction of complex systems. As these systems transcend human comprehension, will we continue to design them or will we increasingly evolve them? As we design for evolvability, the locus of learning shifts from the artifacts themselves to the process that created them. There is no mathematical shortcut for the decomposition of a neural network or genetic program, no way to "reverse evolve" with the ease that we can reverse engineer the artifacts of purposeful design. The beauty of compounding iterative algorithms (evolution, fractals, organic growth, art) derives from their irreducibility. Google itself is a complex system that seeks to perpetually innovate. Leadership in complex organizations shifts from direction setting to a wisdom of crowds. The role of upper management is to tune the parameters of communication. Leaders can embrace a process that promotes innovation with emergent predictability more than they can hope to dictate the product of innovation itself. Innovation is critical to economic growth, progress, and the fate of the planet, yet it seems so random. While innovation may appear inscrutable at the atomic level, patterns emerge in the aggregate nonetheless. A critical pattern, spanning centuries, is that the pace of innovation is perpetually ...

MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Interviews Colin Powell Wednesday, May 23, 2012 Transcript from "Andrea Mitchell Reports" MITCHELL: Speaking of hyperbole at the same time, do you worry that the rhetoric on both sides. You've worked in private sectors, you are on boards, you understand private equity. Do you believe the president has framed this campaign correctly when he goes after Bain Capital? POWELL: We are now in a political season and each side will find which ever weakness he thinks exist in other side. But I find nothing evil about equity capital. I am in a venture capital company. I am a limited partner in one of them. And so they perform and essential role in our capitalist system. Venture capitals, equity companies, they bet on things that are going to be successful, they miss as lot of their bets, that's part of the business, and sometimes they kill off companies that need to be killed off because they are simply no longer relevant. So, that's part of our system, now whether the president will make a case that what Mr. Romney has been doing isn't the good part of our system, needs to be seen. But we are now in that season where shots are going to be going back and forth from any angle the opposite side think will hit. Note: I do not claim ownership of this video.

Carolynn Duncan of Portland 10 talks about entrepreneurship in Oregon's capital and her local network's plans to join the Startup America Partnership. www.starto.tv Social entrepreneurship expands opportunities for crowd-funding and building a customer base because consumers care about America, care about humanity, and care about the earth. The major technological challenges facing humanity have been plaguing us for decades if not hundreds of years, and they aren't being solved by existing organizations. In the 21st century, We the People will have a say about what companies get funded (see Starto Episode 2), and what goals these companies seek to achieve. Profiteers seeking to maximize profit at the expense of all else, and politicians seeking to consolidate power at the expense of all else, have proven to be a formula for disaster. What now? We can't count on a "silver bullet" to save us; we need to create a collaborative, socially responsible network that makes possible "silver buckshot." The democratization of venture capital (crowd-funding) and the democratization of media (everything on the web) are giving birth to a new American economy and a new global economy, one that can set new priorities that strive for things like the eradication of poverty, the eradication of disease, clean energy sources, and the preservation of our planet's resources. Starto.tv will do its part to inspire, inform, and equip a new generation of entrepreneurs who can, collectively, do ...
