Entrepreneurship 101

shared by Assunta Krehl on 14 Oct 09 - Cached
  • MaRS Centre in Toronto runs a free entrepreneurship program from Sept to April called "Entrepreneurship 101" designed to teach those in the local scientific community the ins and outs of getting started with a business. Over the course of the program they cover topics ranging from how to write a business plan to protecting your intellectual property and get various prominent speakers to share their experiences as well. Classes are held 5:30pm to 6:30pm on Wednesdays, at the MaRS Centre (located in downtown Toronto). If you are in town, this is a great opportunity to learn. It is also completely free to attend - all you gotta do is sign up and show up and by the end of it, you'd be fairly well acquainted with the tools and knowledge you need to start your own hi-tech business, which is what the government and the folks behind MaRS Center want at the end of the day. MaRS is also making available full recordings of each of its classes online, which Techvibes would be posting on a weekly basis so you can still learn from the program if distance is an issue.

  • 2009 Cleantech Issue
  • exclusive look at the continent’s greenest hotel: The Planet Traveler Hotel in Kensignton Market, Toronto.
  • The big talk by the cleantech lead at the MaRS Discovery District, and the man behind VCi Greenfunds and Green Bonds, is backed by bigger action. Rand’s latest project is what he claims to be “the continent’s greenest hotel”, which Corporate Knights first told you about in October 2008.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Speaking to a full house at Toronto's MaRS Centre on July 9, 2009, Tom Rand explains why he has decided to focus on buildings in his approach to climate change. “Buildings are responsible in our large urban centres for between a half and three quarters of our carbon emissions. That’s a huge part of our footprint,” he says. “In terms of climate change, buildings are the lowest hanging fruit, as far as I can tell.”
  • Tom Rand’s talk Green or Green Wash? Lessons from Building North America’s Greenest Hotel in Toronto
  • According to Tom Rand, if you’re not talking low carbon, you’re greenwashing.
  • Tom Rand believes any building can and should achieve in the immediate future using sustainable technologies that already exist.  Moreover, he claims to have found a magic bullet, alleging that these carbon cuts can be made without spending a dime.
  • and has come a long way since then, transforming the Planet Traveler hostel into a kind of cleantech gallery. Utilizing solar-voltaic and solar-thermal heating, geo-exchange, 100% LED lighting, and a wastewater heat re-capturing unit called the Powerpipe, it boasts a rich collection of renewables. It also seeks to educate. The geo-exchanger and Powerpipe are featured behind a glass wall in the basement, and the rooftop mezzanine bar offers a full view of the solar panels in the foreground of Toronto’s skyline.
  • Rand had to look to an adjacent alley to bury the pipe.
  • Rand, a carbon tax, widespread education campaigns, and third party support for green infrastructure via green bonds or a geo-utility are sure-fire ways “to build a cleantech economy in Canada without spending a dime.”
  • If any country wants to participate in the next economic revolution they had better start dealing with clean-tech and they had better start dealing with it quickly.”

    Donors are placing nonprofits on the hot seat to measure social performance. Problem is, there is little agreement on what those metrics should be. Professor Alnoor Ebrahim on how nonprofit managers should respond. Key concepts include: * Rather than simply complying with the demands of the most powerful actors, nonprofit leaders need to focus their attention on accountabilities that really matter for achieving their missions. * Measuring results is valuable as a discipline for nonprofit managers, even if they don't find universal metrics for social impact. * We might not see agreement on a common set of metrics in the social sector for a while, but could see a convergence on what constitutes critical reflective learning processes within the organization.

    Christine Ho and Kevin Tsoi came up with the idea for Well of Change last summer when they wanted to volunteer, but were ill-equipped to build houses or work in soup kitchens. They figured people who wouldn't normally donate their time or money might use a marketplace of skills where all proceeds go to charity.
