Numbers not Napkins: Simple Startup Metrics
Startup Metrics presentation by Dave McClure, for the SDForum Business Intelligence SIG (Palo Alto, January 2009)
Get inside your Buyers Head - Improve Funnel Conversion Rates
SaaStock 2018 Dublin.
Everyone wants more sales. In this presentation, David Skok unlocks the secrets to how he has been able to work with company after company and help them discover breakthroughs that drastically improve their conversion rates. The secret behind it all is become a master at understanding how your buyer thinks as they go through their purchasing journey, and as they experience your marketing and sales.
How to make an investor pitch deck that really works
In sales, a well established principle is, before one starts pitching to a customer, one should listen to what the customer has to say. That is because if you listen carefully he will lay out his needs in front of you, letting you present your solution in a way that fits into his needs perfectly.
The principle should be equally useful while pitching to an investor while raising funds. I canât see a reason why it wonât be. But no one seems to be suggesting âyou should listen more and talk less during an investor pitchâ. Probably it is assumed that we already know what investors look for in a business. Is it a rockstar team; or may be a huge market size or is it traction or a break-through technology? Or may be different investors look for different combination of those things.
Actually all of those are means towards an end. They help investors figure out something more specific and quantitative that all investors look for in a startup before investing. But what is it?
A 10x return on their investment. That is it.
That number may vary from an early stage investor to a growth stage one, but you get the point, right? Not everyone says it out loud, because it makes them look money hungry, but that is what an investor business is all about.
But, now with that knowledge, how do you tweak your pitch and your pitch deck to make an investor feel that you are offering him an investment opportunity that could deliver a 10x return? And more importantly, can your business even deliver 10x return?
The above presentation by Deck Rooster answers those questions and offers a structure (not a template) for an investor pitch deck for startups. Check it out.
I Want My MVP (Digital Project Management Summit 2014)
Presented by Anthony Armendariz and Danielle Moser from Funsize at the Digital Project Management Summit 2014 - Austin, Texas.
Twitter: #dpm2014, #iwantmymvp
The Minimum Viable Product (or MVP) is the first shippable version of a product containing purely core features, distributed as a test release in order to create useful feedback for the most basic features. Planning for a MVP release requires the Product Owner to know how to organize and prioritize a dense backlog of features, but in an agile environment with a diverse team and uniquely talented vendors we posit they need not do it alone.
Different lenses for knowing what MVP means to your internal and external team so you can know if you are building the right thing.
What must the MVP consist of to be meaningful to the target user? Whatâs the best way to phase out the release of everything else? What can be cut completely? Basic agile/lean design project management techniques. Important conflict resolution and emotional management techniques. How to sell it with a "Flexible Scope Retainer".

How Startups Can Build a Recruiting Machine
Something important has changed in the recruiting process: the best people are almost never on the market, and you have to develop recruiting processes to find and sell passive candidates. In many cases, it will take months or years of relationship building with these candidates to find the right moment when they are open to considering a change. Closing them takes greater selling efforts than in the past due to the intense competition over the good candidates. This leads me to believe that there is now a third crucial startup skill that needs to be developed: recruiting.

Service tax
Service tax is an indirect tax levied on services in India. There is no separate Service Tax Act - it is imposed annually through amendments to the Finance Act of 1994. Service tax applies to the entire country except Jammu and Kashmir. The current rate of service tax is 12% plus applicable cess. Certain services are exempt from service tax under various notifications. The valuation of a service for calculating tax payable is based on the gross amount charged or the monetary value of consideration received.

It envisions a future where NFC powers smart devices for security, vehicle access, and online shopping. Benefits include ease of use, automation, and security, though limitations are short range and low data transfer rates. Overall, the document concludes that NFC will provide convenience for consumers and retailers.
Near field communication new
Near-Field Communication (NFC) allows contactless data exchange between devices within close proximity. NFC operates at 13.56 MHz and has a maximum range of about 4 cm. It can be used for applications such as contactless payment, ticketing, and data sharing when two NFC devices are tapped together. NFC has three operating modes - reader/writer mode where an NFC device can read from and write to tags, card emulation mode where a phone acts like a card, and peer-to-peer mode for data transfer between two NFC phones. NFC integration with mobile devices has potential for new opportunities but has limitations such as short range and low data transfer rates.
Near field Technology
Near Field Communication (NFC) technology allows for short-range wireless data transfer between devices when they are brought within close proximity of a few centimeters. NFC uses magnetic field induction to enable communication between NFC-enabled devices and is compatible with existing RFID infrastructure. Current and anticipated applications of NFC include contactless payments, transport fares, exchanging contact information, accessing digital content, and more. While providing convenient connectivity, NFC also faces security threats like eavesdropping and data modification if not implemented securely.
RFID: a condensed overview
RFID is a system that uses radio waves to wirelessly transmit data between a tag and reader. It has advantages over barcodes like not needing line of sight and ability to read/write data. There are different types of tags based on power source and range. Common frequencies used are low, high and ultra-high frequency. RFID is used for applications like asset tracking, process control, data lineage tracing and automated replenishment. The Internet of Things connects physical objects through embedded technology like sensors to exchange data. Near Field Communication is a short-range wireless technology that allows data exchange when devices are 10cm apart and is used for contactless payments, ticketing and access control.
Nfc
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range wireless communication technology that allows data exchange between devices over short distances typically less than 20 cm. It uses radio frequency identification (RFID) standards to establish communication by bringing two enabled devices in close proximity. Common applications of NFC include contactless payment, data sharing and connectivity with smart posters, tags, or cards. Security is a concern for NFC since communications can potentially be intercepted, though using higher-level encryption protocols can help address this.
On Relaying NFC Payment Transactions using Android devices
NFC (Near Field Communication) defines the set of RFID standards designed to bidirectionally communicate via wireless and interchange data point-to-point between devices in proximity, normally a few centimeters (up to 10cm). Services that use NFC communications as contactless payments are exponentially growing: Public transport, parkings, fast supermarket cashers, vending machines and even NFC-capable credit/debit cards.In this talk, we investigate relay attacks in NFC-capable credit/debit cards. This attack exploits the communication proximity principle in NFC, which is shown to be non secure. Although a lot of attack countermeasures exist, they do not face with this attack vector since up to date special hardware was required to perform it. However, the story is rewritten with the NFC-capable mobile devices available in the market.
This work shows how nowadays a relay attack in NFC-capable credit/debit cards is possible using an NFC-capable Android device without further modifications (i.e., no root permissions, custom firmware, or custom OS are required). A PoC app implementing the attack is shown in the talk, as well as distributed relay attack scenarios that might become real before long.

However, for a startup, we don't need to focus on all of the 5 metrics during the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) phase. The 2 most important metrics we want to monitor and optimize right now are Activation and Retention (Retention is King! - If people like using your product and they return to use it, then you will be successful).
These are the 2 main metrics that will determine whether or not you have built a service that people need. A good Activation tells you that your UVP and landing page is convincing and that you successfully get the user to go through with 1 use cycle post logging in. Good Retention tells you that your MVP actually delivers the UVP to the customers.
If you plan to start charging immediately, then Revenue will be one that we want to monitor as well. Acquisition and Referral are not immediate, but they are the engines to drive new customers to your website, so do keep them in mind when building your MVP.
Important: Before you can get good Activation and Retention, which means that you have proven that your product does indeed delivers the UVP, there is no need to start getting users. The reason is because before you are sure that you have a working solution, the users you get now will leave anyways. You will be depleting your users, and it might also give you bad reviews. Therefore, before we can validate your MVP in a later section, only focus on getting "early adopters" and leave the Growth Hacking for later.Â

Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether youâre at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. Weâll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
