Entrepreneurs, startups, and companies engaged in innovation and venturing should learn ways to de-risk new ideas and projects to reduce failure and accelerate success. From the very start, smart entrepreneurs (and intrapreneurs) reduce uncertainty and make educated decisions through a process of highly focused and iterative decision-making. In this workshop and Q&A session with seasoned startup investor Steve Barsh (DreamIt Ventures fund and accelerator, USA), participants will learn how Dreamit investors analyse ideas and take companies through an extremely focused de-risking process in a compressed time frame. Learning from this tested approach will allow your startup or organisation to "think and act like a startup" and stay focussed on the most critical assumptions behind a new idea or project. Companies often find that this not only helps them dramatically accelerate their projects, but focus energy and reosurces where they are most needed quickly. In this session, you will learn: The 5 most common mistakes business people, technologists, scientists and entrepreneurs make when first starting - and how to avoid them How to identify critical assumptions that can kill an idea When to start speaking with target customers The top 4 unexpected reasons ideas and projects fail 5 great experiments you can use to de-risk the biggest assumptions 7 critical questions to ask early during meetings Q&A Session This talk will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience, enabling attendees to an opportunity to pick Steve's brain! Who Should Attend  This event is open to the public and is expected to be of particular benefit to the following people: Entrepreneurs, startups & university spin-outs Researchers considering commercialisation or active in Dreamit Ventures' key investment areas (see below) Commercialisation managers Current and future investors interested in (early stage) startups Government representatives interested in innovation and entrepreneurship Startup mentors & advisors Startup coworking spaces, incubators, and accelerators Corporates interested in venturing or investing in startups Those interested in the Dreamit Ventures' key investment areas (see below) Key Investment Areas  Dreamit Ventures is a fund and accelerator focused on startups with  HealthTech: including digital health, medtech, medical devices UrbanTech: Property tech, real estate tech, construction tech, smart buildings, and smart cities SecureTech: logical security, including cybersecurity, physical security (e.g., security of people, places, & things), and  Social Security: focusing on counter-measures to fraud, information warfare, disinformation, fake news, and other social security measures   Stay on for Lunch Networking & Designs on Display Following the presentation and Q&A, you can stay on for lunchtime networking and to view    new and innovative design prototypes on display.   About Steve Barsh Steve is a Managing Partner at Dreamit Ventures, a US-based early-stage venture fund.

Teams must contain 2, 3 or 4 people. Teams with 5 or more people in them must break into two or more smaller teams. Individuals can't compete but we will help you find at least one other person to form a team with (see below). I already have teammates, can I just participate with them? Yes! As long as you have at least one other person on your team (and your team doesn't have more than four people in it). I don't know anyone else attending, how will I form a team?  We have your back! We have built in a number of ways for you to meet other people in the same boat and will help you form a team with people you want to spend Saturday with. Before the event you will be invited to a Facebook Group and Friday night will start off with some casual networking over drinks. During the presentations, everyone will introduce themselves so you know who else is looking for team members. During dinner, the organiser will help match individuals together and make sure no one is left out. If you have any questions or concerns please send an email to odette@energylab.org.au. Can I still participate if I don't have an idea? You can! We'll help your team find something interesting to work on.  Do I have to spend the entire time at The Precinct? Nope, but we would encourage you to. It's a great venue and we'll provide a constant stream of food and drink. However, if you would be more comfortable elsewhere or have other commitments then you're free to come and go. Please just be back in time for the presentations on Saturday. I have another question, who can I talk to?  Send Odette Lawler an email to odette@energylab.org.au. About EnergyLab EnergyLab is Australia’s leading platform for launching new energy businesses.

What if your idea couldn't fail? We know we need to innovate, but sometimes it seems risky.  The BOLT Asset Management Hackathon is a fun and safe environment to explore ideas and work together to create solutions to asset management challenges. Dedicate a day to work on asset management challenges in a collaborative environment and share ideas across industries and disciplines. Join your professional colleagues or bring a team for this intensive 12 hours of creativity and innovation.  What is the BOLT experience? You'll work in a team of three to five on the challenge you've chosen. We'll start at 8:00 am with a working breakfast. This is the time for your team to narrow down the challenge you'll focus on. We'll work in short, intense 'bolts' and we'll keep the coffee coming.  You'll have expert guidance from Dr Monique Beedles, a globally recognised thought leader in asset management. You'll have access to curated tools and resources to help you through the process. By the end of the day your team will have a proposed solution to the challenge you've chosen. You'll have the chance to pitch your idea to your BOLT cohort and to industry guests. Take away a ready to use business case presentation for your chosen stakeholders. Celebrate with a cocktail function at the end of the day. Who'll be there?
