With appearances from tech heavyweights including Pete Cashmore of Mashable, Tumblr founder David Karp, Mozilla’s Mitchell Baker, and Federated Media’s John Battelle listed on the 2012 schedule, New York’s Internet Week continues to cement the city’s position as a viable tech epicenter, bringing attendees from all over the world. A vast majority of these digital-focused discussions paid tribute to the growing start-up community that New York has been sustaining. These emerging companies, while headed by not the most experienced of professionals, are teeming with creativity and innovation that had the audiences tweeting uncontrollably.

Certain themes riddled the events of 2012 Internet Week New York. The arguably most apparent topic that surfaced was the current shift toward mobile content. While websites haven’t yet become obsolete, becoming a big player in the mobile industry can transform a company, as people are spending significantly more time on their mobile devices. Optimizing that experience for multiple screens and cross-platforms also continues to be an issue that plagues many brands and publishers, especially as the tablet and smartphone have become a hand-in-hand supplement to many everyday activities including tv viewing.

While IWNY placed focus on new and growing startup players, there was discussion on what the market is lacking, namely solutions in the music industry, a conversation track that has become synonymous with Internet Week in recent years through curation by SoundCtrl. The music industry continues to be fractured in the years following Napster; though Spotify has become a household name thanks to its Facebook integration, the net is still in dire need of an “ESPN of music”. This hypothetical epicenter has to compile and synthesize the different dimensions of the music experience so that people no longer have to use the different channels and mediums that exist in the music sphere.

Internet Week seamlessly combined the past, present, and future of the Internet to deliver a variety of informative and useful discussions to audience members and remote viewers alike. Startup founders walked away from IWNY with a bounty of advice on how to establish a presence in their respective spaces. Brands and agencies continued to heed the advice and observations from multiple perspectives, continuously attempting to catch up with the paradigm shift of digital behaviors and interests. The layman was able to leave with an entrepreneurial wind at their back having witnessed first-hand what a simple idea can build.

ATHENS, GREECE, February 27, 2012

In the face of economic, social, and political turmoil, Entrepreneur Week initiated its first parlay into Europe with Greece Entrepreneur Week (@EWgreece) to educate more than 650 aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs. The event was planned purposefully in just 20 days to provide the framework of entrepreneurship as a viable long-term solution for solving the financial crisis.

“Greece has a robust and proud culture. It’s time we wake up to the new reality of doing business and operate from a stance of strength through global collaboration, networking, and interconnection. It’s imperative we embrace a new way of thinking and building relationships. For too long Greece has been an insular economy. CoLab, exemplifies the abundance of entrepreneurial opportunity we have here. The first two spaces we launched sold out in less than three months each and we are now expanding geographically outside of Athens,” stated CoLab Athens co-founder Stavros Messinis.

Greece has the opportunity to reclaim its ancient glory as a hub of global innovation. Archimedes’ creation of the Antikythera mechanism – an ancient mechanical computer from 100BC – shows Greece’s history of innovation in computing. As the originators of democracy, coined money, and central banks, Greece has a chance to capitalize on their rich history to move forward proactively with entrepreneurship, particularly in these troubling times. The debt crisis Greece is experiencing has been positive because it exemplifies that their current economic infrastructure was unsustainable, which opened a door for transparent discussion necessary for change.

Greece Entrepreneur Week launched in partnership with Ministry of Development, Competitiveness and Maritime, Ministry of Education, Life-Long Learning & Religious Affairs, CoLab Athens, Virtual Trip Group, Startup Greece, National Bank of Greece, Hellenic Startup Association, Young Confederation of Entrepreneurs, Athens Chamber of Commerce & Industry, American Hellenic Chamber of Commerce.

To infuse fresh perspectives and ensure diversity of opinion, Entrepreneur Week curated a 36-member delegation from 10 countries - Australia, Belgium, Hungary, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Spain, Russia, UK, and USA. The delegation held panels, keynotes, roundtables, and a succession of pitch events for entrepreneurs that was highlighted by an intimate meeting on educational reform with Minister of Education, Anna Diamantopoulou as well as Constantine Michalos, President of the Athens Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

The renowned entrepreneurs and thought leaders who were a part of Entrepreneur Week Greece included:

• Alex Mitchell, Vice President at YES (European Confederation of Young Entrepreneurs) & President at G20 YEA (UK)
• James Allworth, Fellow at Forum for Growth & Innovation of Harvard Business School (USA)
• Ksenia Khoruzhnikova, Founder & Chair at G-20Y Summit IOC (Russia)
• Alvaro Cuesta, President  at Asociacion Jovenes Empresarios de Madrid (Spain)
• Omar Al-Madhi, Assistant Deputy Governor at SAGIA, Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (Saudi Arabia)

With an additional $170 billion bailout package announced this past week, the biggest sovereign debt restructuring in history, consensus opinion is quite possible – full default. However, the energy and passion of the local Greek startup community, anchored by Greece Entrepreneur Week curator Dimitris Tsigos, exhibit a surprising pent up yearning for change. Over the course of the past three years, the culture in Greece for startups slowly progressed toward acceptance as the country continues to undergo a mental model shift toward global perspectives for business and the need for economic dynamism.

Top Ministry officials directly supported the five-day event in a focused effort toward developing concrete actions steps for Greece to evolve out of its current deadlock. Five systemic barriers to fostering a healthy startup ecosystem in Greece were identified: overly conservative culture, lack of risk financing, deficient opportunity for alternative education, and a vastly unstable regulatory environment.

Entrepreneur Week CEO, Gary Whitehill, believes, “as Greece moves toward significant change culturally and economically, now is the best time to create a presence because unstable times create incredible opportunities. History is quite telling, the Greeks were the first explorers of the world - entrepreneurship is in their DNA. Our mission is to develop a local brick and mortar presence, drive global partnerships, and educate the Greek startup community on building scalable and actionable outcomes through the tools and resources of our platform.”

This is just the beginning for Entrepreneur Week in Greece and its three core pillars of education, mentoring, and inspiration as critical first steps toward ensuring stability in the region and a cohesive understanding on how to create scalable and sustainable businesses.

SANTIAGO, CHILE, November 18, 2011

This past week marked the global launch of Entrepreneur Week in partnership with Corfo, Que Pasa,Sofofa, Startup Chile and American Airlines; highlighted by an intimate meeting with President Sebastian Piñera at La Moneda Palace.

The three day event focused on educating, mentoring and inspiring more than 350 local entrepreneurs to create scalable and successful businesses. A delegation of 20 seasoned entrepreneurs, investors and thought leaders from the United States descended upon Chile to share lessons learned throughout their careers, having raised more than $500m in venture financing alongside a collective 271 years of business experience. Nam Bui, Co-Founder of Inc Magazine’s Business Owners Council came to Chile to help “Dispel the mindset that failure is not an option, because it will engender more Chileans to take the leap of faith and the inherent risks of being an entrepreneur.”

Although Chile is labeled as a developing country by the world at large, Founder of Entrepreneur Week, Gary Whitehill believes there is significant promise, “The Chilean government has been one of most proactive governments that we have sought to work with internationally. The barrier to entry and thus assurance for success, improves exponentially with the support of the government to foment change, influence growth, and make the necessary investments to foster innovation.”

The inaugural event is only a taste of what is to come over the next four months in the region. Building upon the launch, the Chile Entrepreneur Week (#EWchile) USA delegation will return in late January for a four day event. In addition, Entrepreneur Week will expand its presence in the region with South America Entrepreneur Week in April, a 10 day event series in Brazil, Chile and Peru.

South America was chosen as the main expansion point for Entrepreneur Week because, as Lauren Perkins of Perks Consulting stated, “The Entrepreneurs that attended Chile Entrepreneur Week were from all around the continent. They were engaged and hungry for more knowledge.”

Chile is on the cusp of a key inflection point for its entrepreneurs, and more specifically, PresidentSebastian Piñera’s economic development strategy: to create and harness a robust and sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem. The delegation shared their thoughts and insights with the President, which includes:

- Brant Cooper, a renowned lean startup practitioner had this to say about his experience, “like all startups, Chile’s entrepreneurship ambitions face uncertainty and formidable obstacles, including network infrastructure, equipping schools with technology and even overcoming cultural impediments. But to Chile’s leader’s credit, they seem to have recognized these risks and are facing them head on.”

- Michael Ellsberg, author of “The Education of Millionaires,” provided his viewpoint to the President, “Many Chilean entrepreneurs told me that there is a strong, overwhelming family and societal stigma in Chile associated with trying something and failing. This must change in order for there to be an entrepreneurial culture in any country. The cornerstone of an entrepreneurial culture is recognizing that failing is almost always a part of later success.

- Sisha Ortuzar, Co-Founder of the famous Wichcraft restaurant chain and a Chilean-born entrepreneur said, “One of the biggest challenges that Chile faces right now is its image in the international market. Most people don’t know much about Chile, or what Chile can do.”
Entrepreneur Week is committed to helping foster entrepreneurship and innovation Chile and will continue to expand its efforts in the region alongside its strategic partners. Chile Entrepreneur Week is the first of multiple entrepreneur events to be held in South America over the course of the next year.

The New Digital Fashion Experience: From Production to Engagement
Starting the afternoon off, Perks’ CEO Lauren Perkins was joined by Sammy Davis of Sammy Davis Vintage, the “Martha Stewart of Vintage”, and Jessica Moore of Stylebook, a fab mobile app to help you organize your closet. These two ladies have struck out on their own, building their careers and businesses based off of their social media and tech savvyness, while the power of crowdsourcing their audiences have kept their communities engaged and asking for more. The three women agreed that those brands and companies who set the stage for their communities and then let them create their momentum on their own will find their fans advocating and doing all the work for them. The amount of (mostly favorable) user-generated content has even crowded out official brand content among the results of YouTube or blog searches. Even for these smaller entrepreneurs the results are clear, Moore states that incorporating customer feedback in each new version release results in doubling app sales through word of mouth by her fans.

Lessons From Female Startup Founders
Continuing on female entrepreneurship, the mix of the newbie (Christy Purington of Clique), the serial founder (Beth Schoenfeldt, formerly of Ladies Who Launch and Collective-E), and the advisory (Kat Karimi, formerly of ASTIA), jumped on thoughts about money, males (vs. females), and management in the startup landscape. Bootstrapping and keeping things lean were encouraged among the group, knowing that having too much money makes a company lose control and direction. Angel and VC money should be saved for marketing and further development costs when the product is viable and ready to scale. Thoughts from the fashion panel were echoed again here, as Purington realized “listening to your customers from the beginning will save a lot of headaches” during product building and iteration.

How Businesses Can Harness Consumer Lifestyle Innovation Trends
The afternoon finished off into a diverse discussion of data, “utilitainment”, and the scourge of QR codes with Bryce Gruber of the Luxury Spot, Kyle Cameron Studstill of PSFK, Rosie Siman of Saatchi and Saatchi, moderated by Perks’ own Damien Basile. The year of data (and data exhaust) is coming according to the group, as the proliferation of available behavioral data is coming to fruition with mobile phones rapidly becoming attached to every part of our lives. Research firms like Nielsen will have nothing in comparison to the accuracy brought on by apps such as IntoNow, while it is inevitable that the concepts of data and privacy will eventually dissipate into acceptability, just like how Facebook statuses were once taken to be considered “creepy”. The fate of QR codes (if not already decided) lies in the establishment of best practices by the industry. Marketers have yet to clearly articulate the call to action in the use of QR codes - asking the scanner “do you want to know more” with the assumed answer of “yes”.

Big thanks to Perks’ Marketing and Media Director and Founder of Addieu, Damien Basile, Brett Petersel of Digital Somethings and The Community Manager, and the Wix Lounge for hosting us!

Perks Consulting is pleased to announce the acceptance of Founder and CEO, Lauren Perkins, to the Banco Santander W50 Program at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management.  The program has invited 50 women globally to join in an intensive Executive Management and Board Leadership program designed for emerging female business leaders.
