Help Them Rise Up
Tags: Economics, Startup, Entrepreneur, Women Empowerment, Finance

Financial forecasting and budgeting play an essential role in the success of any company, and this especially holds true within a start-up. As the unpredictability of 2020 showed us, cash flow management and a strong understanding of finances better prepare companies to deal with unforeseen industry changes.

As her one-year anniversary at Planned is celebrated today, we could not be more grateful to have Kira Cormier on our team as our Finance Manager.

Since Kira joined the team in January 2020, Planned’s payment processing flow, spending pattern analysis and event booking processes have drastically improved. Her interest in finance, which ultimately led her to becoming a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), was inspired by her mother, a CPA herself. That initial spark grew into a passion when Kira enrolled in Introduction to Economics at Concordia and was enraptured by the topic. It was then that her journey in finance began.

Today, her passion for finance has enabled Planned to continue to thrive in a time when the event planning industry has faced difficulties. Kira’s vast experience in auditing and as a financial analyst is reflected in the increased investor confidence through accurate and timely financial reporting and increased automation and efficiency. The implementation of a new accounting software and usage of AI software to automate the recording of business expenses are examples of the many ways in which she has altered the financial strategy at Planned.
Investing in Easy Movie

UpSkilling is now one of the top four concerns of CEOs worldwide (according to PWC’s Global CEO Survey)

Add to this the Covid-19 crisis, which makes most traditional employee upskilling methodologies irrelevant: it becomes clear that most companies are not equipped to tackle this issue in the near future.

UpSkilling is about finding ways to help your employees acquire new skills or improve the ones they already have.

We believe that one of the easiest ways to do this is to start by letting knowledge flow through your company. The amount of unshared knowledge within a given organization is usually astonishing. One of the reasons for this is the lack of tools to share it easily.

This brings us to EasyMovie, the leading Saas helping large companies unleash knowledge flows within their organizations. The moment we saw it and used it, we knew we needed to be a part of it. Today we’re pleased to announce that CapHorn is investing in EasyMovie.

First of all, we fell in love with the team

Nicolas is a charismatic leader, a visionary and an inspiring person who has long been helping companies to use video within their organizations.

Julien impressed us with his analytical skills and his natural ability to structure teams and processes in rapidly changing environments.

They believe anyone has something to share, even though they may not be aware of the value of their knowledge.

Julien presents EasyMovie

They are convinced that they can unleash everyone’s knowledge and that we need to be more connected for the efficiency and well-being of all — and to the greater benefit of the organization.

And of course we were impressed by their unique product:

EasyMovie is designed for the corporate environment with:

- A state-of-the-art administration platform with extensive role management to create”video templates”: the backbone that ensures that all skill sharing videos look and feel the same, follow brand guidelines and make the content consistent and well categorized.

- A mobile app for video creation for employees that is easy to use and adopt, with no skill set required to create videos.

We believe in the use of video for knowledge sharing and that video can replace PowerPoint in the medium term. The sheer adoption of video in our daily lives (see how Youtube performs), the long lasting digitization trend, combined with the adoption of remote workplaces reinforces our belief that video will become second nature, and Easy Movie can create a new internal use for knowledge sharing in companies. See an example below :

Sales Enablement use case of EasyMovie

We are convinced that EasyMovie is a must-have product for large companies looking to unleash knowledge sharing. And if this is your case, we strongly recommend you give it a try!
The Entrepreneur’s Tool Kit: Picking Your Core Team
By: Dan Stein
Tags: Startup, Human Resources, Entrpreneurship

“You don’t build a business. You build people, and then people build the business.” — Zig Ziglar

In this week’s installment of “The Entrepreneur’s Tool Kit,” we move to the fourth step: picking your core team.

You’ve validated your idea, consulted with experts and have a blueprint to guide you on the journey through entrepreneurship. Now you’re ready to choose the people to build your business with.

To say this step is important would be understating the case. The decisions you make at this stage will influence your business throughout its lifetime. This first generation of collaborators will not only shape the product and processes of your company; they’ll also establish the corporate culture future hires and the public will come to know.

(Which brings up one key tip: Don’t hire anyone, no matter how talented, who you and your team won’t be able to stand being around!)

Your core team will vary in size depending on your type of business, so there is no one-size-fits-all solution here. Also, your personal skill set plus amount of time you can dedicate to your business will also factor in.

To start, you will need to be able to build your product, market it, keep track of finances, leverage technology, and potentially discuss legal issues. These five areas are typically the bedrock of launching a business.

It’s at this point when you will decide what level of support you need and how to get that help:

Will you hire freelancers to do work for you?

What skill level are you looking for in those you bring on board?

Will you compensate people with cash or equity in the company?

Do you require people on your team to meet in person or virtually?

You can ask more questions to refine your needs and clarify your search to determine the best fit for your core team.

Explore freelance sites, community startups, or specific group meetups to make new connections. Once there, hone in on the people who match your list of core team members to take your business to the next level.

Spreading YC Culture by Building in Public
By: Yasin Berk Yesilyurt
Tags: Startup, Ycombinator, Community

There have been lots of rooms about YC in Clubhouse so far, where they discuss the biggest advantages of YC. One is emphasized most, the founder network!

What do we understand under the founder network? On one hand, it addresses the start-ups in your batch, where you can build various interactions and help each other grow; on the other hand, the mentor network contains the best ones worldwide. In such an environment, it gets much easier to gather feedback and learn fast.

This great founder network brought me to the point where I ask myself the question “How we can democratize this great network and supporting culture outside of the YC?” Because I think the selection process in YC is a one-way process and it’s out of time.

Therefore, we started Building in Public Community. We intend to let founders meet each other and apply a natural selection process. It means you can be in the community as long as you contribute and be respectful to others. The dream is to create a lifetime batch, where we have founders with good intentions.

Founder Spotlight: Eli Lazar (Snooz)
By: Caroline Yeager
Tags: Startup, Startup Life, Startup Lessons, Entrepreneurship, Consumer Products

Company name: Snooz

Company blurb: Developer of next-generation air and sound products for consumers and businesses.

Company website: www.getsnooz.com

Company headquarters: Las Vegas, NV

Founder’s hometown: Champaign, IL

Founder fun fact:

I have a lot of family in Arizona and visit there frequently. A few years ago I was hiking on top of Mount Lemmon and got stuck in a severe thunderstorm at 8000 feet, on an exposed, rocky side of the mountain. With about an hour hike left back to my car, a lightning bolt struck a tree 20 feet from me and it burst into sparks. It was the loudest thunder I had ever heard and the most scared I have ever been.

Why did you decide to start your company?

I always had a natural interest in developing products or looking for ways to improve processes, but perhaps to the extent or at the pace that was not readily welcomed at existing companies. Also, I want to create good jobs for people so I can help them to have a stable platform to launch their lives from.

What is one thing that you want people to know about your company?

No matter what size our company ever grows to, I would reduce my salary to the bare minimum for survival before I would ever consider laying off a single person. Prior to SNOOZ, I worked for a large company that went through several rounds of layoffs and forced job location transfers. I saw how destabilizing that was for people and never want to do that to another person. We can’t be successful without adding people to the company, but making sure we do so in a way that is stable and keeps the work environment enjoyable is always at the forefront of my mind.

When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up? Did you always know you wanted to be an entrepreneur?

I really enjoyed studying the stars and wanted to be an astronomer. However, my mother helped me to see the difference between enjoying a field as a hobby versus enjoying it as an occupation, so I choose Aerospace Engineering instead.

What is one piece of advice you’d like to pass on to new founders?

First, in the history of the world, nothing great has ever been accomplished without personal sacrifice. Be prepared to be persistent, because I am certain the journey will challenge you and at times force you to question the path, but stay the course. Second, don’t get distracted by other ideas. Any idea I come up with that is not related to the bedroom or sleep, I write down in a book and move on.
Unicorn FinTech Founder Steps Down And Makes a Stand for Mental Health

Unicorn FinTech Founder Steps Down And Makes a Stand for Mental Health

Created by the author — original image from Wikimedia commons

“I’m very happy to talk about what’s gone on with me, because I don’t think people do it enough” — Tom Blomfield, Founder of Monzo

He’s absolutely right. If you read enough entrepreneurship advice, you’ll realize many people seem to have missed the mental health awakening completely.

Work harder than everyone else!

Do you only work 100 hours a week?!

Never give up!

Who needs friends?!

Do you want to be average?!

It’s easy to get brainwashed into the cult of hard work above all else. There’s this weird paradox where boasting about your results makes you arrogant but bragging about how hard you work makes you a hero. It’s an outdated badge of honor.

I’ve talked to many entrepreneurs and freelancers who are scared to admit they need a rest. They’ve been told so many times if they just keep trying, eventually they’ll be successful. To keep this mentality going, they tell themselves anyone who grows too effortlessly must be a fraud.

This is what makes Tom Blomfield’s confession so important. He founded Monzo, the app-based bank, which now has over 5 million customers and a valuation of over a billion dollars. It even raised money during the pandemic through big names such as Accel Ventures, Y Combinator, and Stripe.

The hype may not have reached the US but I’ve never seen an app gain such vigorous support amongst tech-savvy millennials in London. A quick scroll through my phone shows me over 100 of my contacts have accounts. Pretty impressive considering it lacks 15-second dance videos.

At 35, Tom was living the dream of many aspiring entrepreneurs with this cutting-edge and cool product. Yet he didn’t feel like he was living his dream. We read success stories where companies skyrocket and failure stories where they collapse. We can assume the “success” makes their founders happy because we rarely hear about the times when it makes them miserable. It’s the blindspot scenario as it seems counter-intuitive.

It all started turning sour around two years ago for Tom.
What should junior designers look for in a company?
By: Varun Dhawan
Tags: Startup, Deisgn, Self Improvement, Career Advice, UX

People

As you begin your career, the way your first few organizations will condition you is going to stay for the remaining years. Make sure that you set the bar really really high.

A team that won’t settle for less

Excitement is contagious, but so is mediocrity. Look for teams that are excited about the problems they are working on and wouldn’t settle for anything less than the best possible. Working with people who will settle with less will set the bar too low for the rest of your career.

A team with experience standing up for good design

When you design, there will be constraints —the time that’s available for a developer to code, a date your product manager has already promised for this feature, a customer who wants it sooner, and many others. While design happens in constraints, you’ll have to convince, negotiate, and even fight for the best possible experience. And these fights will not be easy. Saying “don’t you trust me” won’t work.

So you want to be around people who know how to do this so that you can watch and learn.

A team that’s diverse in opinions and willing to challenge yours

You don’t want to be in an echo chamber of your beliefs. If your opinions don’t get challenged enough, you’ll not stop to consider if they are right or wrong.
Cheat Sheet to Create Mockup
By: Startup Studio Indonesia
Tags: Startup, Startup Studio Indonesia, Mockup

When we are planning or discussing a design with team members, partners, or even clients, it will all feel in vain and there is no visual that can also support it. Why? An idea will only be an idea in your head, you need to put it real for people to understand your concept.

Mockups will definitely make you look more professional, and the idea is representable. But beyond that, mock-ups also have a dark side, such as … a mock-up that is not good enough will actually be misleading for clients. So making the right mockup is very important.

According to 99designs, here are Do’s & Don’ts in making mock-up designs:

1. Make your design in the correct format

Whether you’re creating a mockup from scratch or using one legally downloaded off of the web, it’s in all likelihood going to be in raster format. But don’t get it wrong. Even if it’s supposed to be in raster format, your design should still be vectorized.

2. Know how to convert vector to a raster file

The way to convert is very easy in Adobe Illustrator: File> Export> (Select format). It’s easier to convert vector to raster than raster to vector format. But in our opinion, still try to do it in vector format first. It will save you time.

3. Don’t only show the mockup

Mockups are amazing, but your client also needs to see what the results will look like. Give an idea of ​​what your design will look like when juxtaposed to the surface or to the color. Suppose you are making a mockup design for packaging, try attaching it to the container it should be: jar? glass? paper? or what?

4. Be clear with your client

Do this as transparently as possible; what is possible for you to do and what is not. Be clear about what constitutes the mockup and what is the design. There should be no miscommunication. If there are wrong expectations it will not be good.

5. Don’t take shortcuts

If you don’t want to make a mockup yourself, that’s fine. There are many online platforms that provide resources for this. But you have to pay attention to which ones are labeled ‘free’, make sure you check the licensing and terms of use. Here are some websites that you can use to find resources:

6. Curate your mockups

The entire point of a mockup is to make your design look better — to show off what it would look like in a real-life situation. Don’t make everything a mockup. If indeed the background design that is too busy is not included in the mockup, then don’t use it. Don’t be forced to include all mockups. Choose which one is the best and according to your needs.

Remember even though the mockup is not the finished result of the design you are designing. But mock up the expectation for what will be executed later. So keep it precise in making mockups!

Day 3: Big Oof

Tags: Plush, Coupon, Saving, Money, Diary

I got my laptop at like 11am today and got straight to configuring it, but as expected, it didn’t go well. I still need to do it tomorrow and I also got assigned some stuff to self learn with.

On a positive note, I was able to return my headset today, and got two new recruits to join my army, which is very nice. I also got my vertical mouse, which I plan to use later. Overall, work should be fine once I figure this configuration stuff out, and I’m happy with the deliveries that arrived today.

Also, I just remembered I impulse bought new dumbells ($25 bucks each) and a set of food storage container ($8) which I think are both dank deals. Yea I wrote the previous line to try out the hyperlink thingy.

So anyways, today was ok, and I don’t have much to write about but hopefully I can get thru tomorrow and then weekend is coming up so yea, bye.

Tip: Some coupons are good for more than one, like Wienerschnitzel coupons say something like “good for up to two orders”. You can use the same coupon to order two of whatever is on there, so don’t just assume that coupons can’t be mixed or that they cannot be used more than once to abuse its full potential.

How to Market Your Local Business for a Profit

Tags: Local Business, Coupon, Digital Marketing, Restaurant, SEO

Starting a mom and pop shop can be tough, you may need to put a lot of money on the line, build up a solid customer base, and often times work for no pay to finally make it in the green.

Everyone who starts up a business wants to market it, but you want to use your dough to make pizza, not snapchat posts right?

You could you a site like Groupon, if you can still make a profit after handing Groupon 50% of your sale,

Well unless Bob can sell a burger for 20$ I’m not to sure that would be a wise move. I know, what about google Adwords! All you have to do is compete with companies like McDonalds and Amazon for words, and at the low low price of 50$ a click for a potential sale, surely this is a viable method of advertising right? Right…

I can see why so many local companies don’t bother with local advertising, it’s expensive, it might not even pay off, and it’s complicated.

That’s why I made UnlimitedCouponer, advertising locally should be easy, it should be super cheap, and it should get people excited to explore the city. You can upload coupons to promote your business, and even validate them through the app, for free.

Extreme Couponing — Collecting Coupons

You need to first set aside a few hours a week to find new coupons. You’ll find free coupons in the mail, newspapers and on the internet. You can find a lot of coupons on the internet, so most of your time is spent looking through coupon websites. Save those sites in some kind of a file, it makes the next search so much faster. My advice is to first gather as many coupons you can from various sources, then sort through them one by one. There are also, websites that upload electronic coupons directly to your store rewards cards.​

Grouping coupons​: You will need to find a way to keep tabs on expiration dates and maximize your coupon grouping. Don’t rush to use the coupons immediately. In order to use coupons effectively, you will often have to use them at a later date to combine with store sales. Be aware of the expiration dates, you don’t want good coupons to go to waste.​

Start a system: List all multiple coupons you have. Make a plan to combine store coupons with manufacturer ones to increase savings. Take advantage of stores that double coupons for even bigger savings. Most stores have stopped the doubling of coupons, so really watch your coupons. Compare your coupons with the sales ads. Write your shopping list to ensure that you have the right coupons for the items included.​

Stacking coupons: Combining coupons is known as ‘stacking’ and is one of the main goals used by Thrifty couponers to save big bucks. Store sales coupon, plus Manufacturing coupon. Your favorite store is having a sale, 10 for 10, your coupon reads $.50 off. IF coupon doubles, you get the item free. Or you have a store coupon for $.25, a manufactures coupon for $.25, put them together/doubled makes a dollar. Making that item free! Remember not all stores double. You still can use the Manufacturer coupon making the product .75 cents.

Bulk buy at bottom prices: It is essential to know when prices hit rock bottom. A general rule, the 6–8-week cycle. Take notes of which products go on sale, that way you know that it is the lowest price for that item. Keep a record of prices during sales so you can determine the best time to stock up.

Bulk buying: When buying a large number of items, contact your store manager, so he or she can order more of the items you need. This leaves items on the shelve, making everyone happy. If you have coupons for the items ordered, let the manager know, so the cashier is aware and the items can be brought out when picking up. Makes your shopping smother.

Loyalty program: Signing up for store loyalty programs, other savings. Some stores won’t allow non-members to shop at sale prices. You won’t be able to use online special coupons unless you become a member.

​There are stores that accept coupons, don’t double or triple and limit their offers to store brand items.

Manufacturer coupons accepted up to certain value are doubled at some grocery stores. You may use one manufacturer coupon and one store coupon per item.

If the store is out of any item you planned to buy, ask customer service for a rain check.
