Earlybird Venture Capital

Earlybird Venture Capital In Berlin we meet Ciarán OLeary who is a partner at the venture capital firm Earlybird. Before being a venture capitalist Ciarán was working in banking, private equity, and as an entrepreneur.Ciarán shares some further insights on the due diligence process of Earlybird, the investment focus of Earlybird, and gives some valuable advice to entrepreneurs.Interviewer: Hi. Today we are in Berlin with Ciarán from EarlyBird. Ciarán, whow are you and what do you do?Ciarán: I’m Ciarán, I’m a venture capitalist at a firm called EarlyBird. I’m a partner there. We invest in early stage internet companies mainly in Berlin in the sense that it is slightly north of 50%. But we also invest all across Europe.Interviewer: What did you do before you started working in the VC industry?Ciarán: I probably have the worst possible background you can have as a VC. For a year before I became a VC I tried myself as an entrepreneur, wasn’t very successful, I think that’s the good part. The bad part is before that I was at a very large private equity house, and before that I was at an investment bank working on big transactions. And it turns out that venture capital, working with entrepreneurs, is really not about transactions, it’s about relationships. So I literally think that I may be seen not because of what I did but despite of what I did. But, hey, I’m here.Interviewer: So if somebody would like to start working at venture capital fund, don’t go with the IB / PE route but more go to the entrepreneurial route.Ciarán: Definitely. I think if you had to do something like that, you’d rather go to a consultant firm where you just think more holistically about things, but doing operational things, working for a startup, trying yourself as an entrepreneur, it makes you just appreciate so much more the difficulties and the mechanics of how things actually work. And it’s important, because if you’re working with entrepreneurs and you want to be the sounding board and advisor and you’ve got no idea how things work, then it’s something you can address, and there’s lots of very successful venture capitalists like Fred Wilson and a couple of others that were never entrepreneurs, but it is a weakness you need to manage and be aware of.Interviewer: You need to understand what the entrepreneurs are doing in order to assess the OPs.Ciarán: And I think that’s why when you start off as a VC the key thing to do is to just suck up everything, spend lots of time at the companies, don’t try and be too smart, respect the entrepreneurs and really really learn learn learn, and then you can gradually become a useful VC.Interviewer: Ciarán, tell us a little bit more about EarlyBird. Where is this VC fund coming from? You told us the regional focus in Western Europe and mainly in Germany. On the other hand, what is your business model focus?Ciarán: We’ve changed significantly since we were born. When EarlyBird was born I was still at high school . So it was a German fund based at Munich and Hamburg and invested in pretty much all across technology, actually even invested in the US for a while. And then a couple of years ago it came up with this new strategy that we would really focus on Europe and a couple of key hubs. So Berlin and Western Europe is the real focus for us. But we also just raised an emerging markets fund. We’ve a separate team that invests in Turkey and CE, so literally all of Europe now is what we want to do. In terms of our DNA we’re very much focused on companies that create platforms, communities, networks, marketplaces that are connecting nodes, and by connecting lots of nodes they’re making industries better, more efficient, taking out the middle man, these kinds of things.What we’re not so good at is pure e-commerce, such as buying stuff and selling it at a margin. We’re not so good at hardware unless it’s a commodity thing, and the intelligence is in the internet or software piece. I thi nk another thing is that, with very few exceptions, we really like to back European companies, but that have a global potential from day one. So not models that used to scale country by country and region by region. You can do that and there’s very successful companies doing that, but our focus and our skill set is more to identify products that can go globally very quickly and help them do that. And then we just round up how we invest it, we’ll do anything from a couple of hundred thousand at seed stage, our sweet spot is still the series A, we will invest like 1.5 to three or four million at most. And the occasional series B where we will join with five to seven, maybe at most ten million. But we’re lifetime investors, so once we’re in and we like the company we will invest up to 15 or 20 million over all rounds until we run out of money.Interviewer: The platform, the investments that you’re doing, do you have some kind of specific expertise that help people or companies scale maybe more efficient, maybe you have some kind of specific marketing knowledge or something like this?Ciarán: Absolutely. We’re thinking very hard about how do we become the best product for an entrepreneur. Money is one part, but then it needs lots of other things around it. I think that the strongest asset we have is the community of people on our portfolios. We were very fortunate that we have lot of amazing entrepreneurs and lots of amazing companies, and they have lots of amazing employees, and we’re now building tools to help connect these employees across companies, around marketing, around product, around design, around sales, around organization, and we also have workshops, master classes, we’ve got a HR database, that kind of stuff. So one thing is utilizing the assets we already have. The other thing is that because we’re a little bit specialized on these platforms and marketplaces and communities, the more you see, the more investments you make, the more mistakes you make, you get to transfer knowledge, that’s something we do. The other thing that we do is we actually just brought on board Konstantin Guericke, and he’s one of the co-founders of LinkedIn, and he’s based in Palo Alto. We don’t invest there, but he helps our European companies do business development, hiring there, open stores, if a company moves there he may take the board seat to work with them closely there. So real, credible presence in the US. And last year I think we had a pretty strong track record of co-investing, syndicating with a lot of the larger and high quality US VCs. So we bring that to the table that we’re connected to this global community. I think that that can help our companies get out. At the end of the day though it’s always down to the entrepreneur. We can only catalyze and help.Interviewer: Ciarán, if you would try to explain to an entrepreneur how is your investment process working. So once you apply, send your business plan or ge t an intro from a friend of yours, etc., what is the typical process on your side maybe that they didn’t even see?Ciarán: The first thing is I would say definitely don’t send a business plan. And, ideally, don’t even have a business plan. I think especially in Europe where we used to think that early stage entrepreneurs write a hundred page Word document, all these things and trying to kind of… Don’t. Show us your product, show us your team, of course you’re going to have some slides, ideally one, maybe ten, but keep it short, let the team and the products speak of itself. Can be a very early, alpha version, whatever, it can be close beta that kind of stuff, but we’ll get much more excited about that than like, “Ah, this makes a lot of sense.” So I think it should be tangible.The other thing is that of course we have tech@earlybird.com e-mail address, and we read every email there, it can take a while but we get back to everything. But the world has all these tool s that empower literally everybody quickly to get to anybody else in the world. So to get an introduction it does help, because it also helps us to say if this guy is willing to do this introduction then obviously, you know.The other thing is, again, I don’t like this part of being a VC and I feel sometimes very bad. We just get so many emails, we’re so hammered that sometimes I can be very slow to respond. And it is absolutely okay â€" and it’s not good, I’m not be doing my job properly by not doing that â€" but when I don’t respond within a week or whatever it’s totally okay to re-ping me again and be like, Hey, I just wanted to float this. Oh, yes. Sorry.And the other thing is I would say that it’s okay as an entrepreneur â€" I think in Europe it used to be like an entrepreneur is a very slick, business driven person â€" and the reality is that the best entrepreneurs are rough, quirky, maniacs, don’t have a linear profile, so it’s totally okay to be a bit like t hat, don’t try to be somebody else than who you are. We like working with whacky, crazy people.Interviewer: In relation to the investment process, what are the typical thing that you look at?Ciarán: There’s a couple of hard things and soft things. The first thing is purely mathematically, because our fund size is the way it is, we need to be involved in companies that if they are highly successful they can become companies that are worth a lot, so more than a billion, uncapped upside. The other thing that we look for is do they have the DNA to at least have a fair chance of doing that? I know everybody says it but it’s just the team. And often it’s the team, but yeah it’s also just the core founder in many cases, just the one crazy guy, so we look at that.The other thing is we just look at your level of disruption. Are you just like another cosmetic layer, are you fixing something that many other people can fix quickly, or are you really bringing a meaningful amount of di sruption to the market.Another important thing is do you have befits of scale, so the larger you get are you creating defensible network effects, are you creating defensible structure and these kind of things. And then the other things is, is there a semi-capital, efficient, meaningful way to get there? So once things are working out, it’s okay to pile on money like there is no tomorrow to create this global category leader, but as a VC you don’t want to spend 10% of your fund. That’s why with biotech it doesn’t work for us. So I think also that there are these logical points in the business where you’re like, oh, with the A round we can actually get to where you should be at the B round. Usually of course it doesn’t happen, there’s delays, whatever, but there is that.And then there is other aspect which I think is really important, and it is the human aspect. It’s a very intense relationship, it really can be day and night, very emotional, so do we connect on a pers onal level? We don’t have to be enthusiastic friends, but we need to be able to work together through good times and through bad times. And so getting a good feeling for that is very important.And in terms of process, time-wise, it can be anything from two days up to a couple of months, depending on whether we still need to get to know each other better, we have this big unsolved thing we need to just work out, how well do we know the people that we’re working with, maybe we know them already. But usually what we find is that it’s beneficial to the entrepreneur and to the VC is you have at least three or four in-depth, personal, face to face meeting, maybe at a dinner and a beer, and really figure things out. But I think on average it’s like two to three meetings before we decide if we want to make an investment, and that can be anywhere from two to maybe four weeks. And then once we decide we want to invest, it’s just mechanics.Interviewer: Ciarán, we always try to give some advice to first-time entrepreneurs, what are some key points that you learned over the years?Ciarán: One is be encouraged from people. Laugh at what you’re doing when they say it’s not going to work. No great idea started off by everybody saying, oh that makes a lot of sense. So if you keep hearing that you should probably be worried. The other thing is that sharing your idea, especially in Germany, it’s very particular in Germany, there’s lots of like, ‘Oh I am in stealth mode’. Unless you’re a natural stealth fighter, that makes very little sense. The benefits you get by telling people about your idea, getting their feedback, seeing how they react, way outweighs the risk of â€" I mean what is the probability of somebody saying oh that sounds good I’m going to do it? It’s like zero. And what kind of idiot is that, they’re probably not going to be very good at it. So get lots and lots of feedback.And then the other thing is that start trying, start building things really really early. Form a thesis around a minimal, viable product, form a thesis around who it should work for. I guess it’s a whole startup movement, but just get going and don’t worry too much about nailing every aspect, because nearly all great companies if you look at how they started and you look at what they’re today, it’s like how did they ever so, yeah.Interviewer: Yeah. Reid Hoffman made a great quote on that: if you are not embarrassed of your product, you did not ship it early enough.Ciarán: Yeah, exactly, that’s true. And then it’s a rollercoaster ride, there’s lots of ups and down, even the best companies. I think Amazon raised their first seed round from like 50 angels and everybody just gave a small amount of money. So just because you’re having difficulties at the beginning and you’re getting negative feedback doesn’t mean you’re the next 100 billion dollar company. So I wouldn’t worry about it.Interviewer: Thank you very much Ciarà ¡n. If you are looking for a great investment, maybe check out Ciarán at EarlyBird.

Steps to Effective Lesson Planning for Grades 7â€12

Writing lesson plans ensures that you are addressing the requirements of the curriculum, effectively planning teaching time, and using the best strategies to address student needs.  Ã‚  Your school district may already have a template, or you can use a general lesson plan template as you work through creating your lesson plans. Before Writing the Plan Begin with the end in mind. Ask the following questions: What do you want the students to learn from this lesson?What state or national standards are you meeting?What does the curriculum from your state or your district require?What are the needs of your students in meeting the requirements of the curriculum? Once youve determined this, write a quick description and list out your objectives for the assignment. Ensure that you will provide extra support to students who do not have the skills to meet the objective. Keep a vocabulary list that uses academic vocabulary words  that you can access as you write out your lesson plan procedure. Additionally, decide content vocabulary students will need as well. This will help you remember terms that you need to make sure the students understand as they work through the lesson. Create a materials list and add to this as you write your procedure so that you know exactly what you will need including audiovisual equipment, the number of copies youll need, other required materials, and even the page numbers from books you plan to cover. Creating the Lesson Plan Determine if the lesson is new learning or a review. Decide how you will begin the lesson. For example, decide whether to use a simple oral explanation for the lesson or a pre-activity to determine what students know. Decide the method(s) you will use to teach the content of your lesson. For example, does it lend itself to independent reading, lecture, or whole group discussion? Will you target instruction for certain students by grouping? Sometimes it is best to use a combination of these methods, varying teaching techniques: beginning with a few minutes of lecture—such as five minutes—followed by an activity in which students apply what you taught or a short whole-group discussion to ensure that the students understand what you have taught them. Decide  how you will have the students practice the skill/information you just taught them. For example, if you have taught them about the use of a map in a particular country or town, envision how you will have them practice this information to truly gain an understanding of the material. You might have them complete independent practice, use a whole-group simulation, or allow students to work cooperatively on a project. The key is to get students to practice the information you have presented. Once you determine how students will practice the skills that you taught them, decide how you will know that they understood what was taught. This could be a simple show of hands or something more formal as a 3-2-1 exit slip. Sometimes a game activity can be an effective way to review, or if the technology is available, a kahoot! quiz. Review the draft lesson plan to determine any accommodations you need to make for your class including accommodations for English-language learners and special education students. Once you have completed your lesson plan, include  any details such as  homework assignments. Make any copies of handouts needed and gather materials for the lesson. Tips and Hints Always start with the final assessment, showing that students understand the material you have presented. Knowing the assessments will leave you  better able to focus the lesson on what is essential. Additionally: Refer regularly to curriculum documents and pacing guides.Try not to rely solely on your textbook for lessons, but do ensure that you evaluate any other source you might use like other books, other teachers, written resources, and internet web pages.Some school districts require standards to be listed on the lesson plans while others do not. Make sure that you check with your school district. Always overplan: It is much easier to cut things out of a plan or continue it the next day than fill 15 or 20 extra minutes. If possible, connect homework to real life. This will help reinforce what the students should be learning.

Effects Of Climate On Small Scale Farmers - 1748 Words

Chapter 3 Literature Review Introduction This literature review seeks to highlight some of the effects that the change in climate has on small-scale farmers along with the strategies that they have employed to mitigate these impacts. Overview of the Global context in the change of Climate The change in climate refers to the alteration in the condition of climate that is easily identifiable through the use of statistical tests through alterations in variability and/or mean of its properties and exists for a much longer period, in most cases decades It can also be described as change in climate that takes place over time, whether it is as a result of human activity or natural variability. For instance, in (1995-2006) the eleven years were†¦show more content†¦The process of systematic observations of climate is normally carried out in national centres of metrology and other specialized centres. The observations are taken at standard pre-set places and time and monitor terrestrial, atmosphere and ocean systems. The variables of the major climate include; tropical cyclones, temperature, temperature of the sea surface, rise in sea level, tropical cyclones and wind speeds. A report by GCM suggests that the mean annual temperature for Jamaica will increase from 1 .1 to 3.2 degrees by 2090. The report also suggests that the increase in range is 1.0 to 3.0 by 2080 and 0.7 to 1.8 by 2050. Likewise, the range in the projected rainfall by 2050 will be -44% to + 18% and -55% to +18% by 2080. The September / November rainfall (late wet season) and July/August (early wet season) have impacted strongly on the general yearly rainfall. The rainfall extreme projections are mixed across the joint. The range of changes by 2080 will be between -19 and +20 for rainfall proportion falling during heavy events and -29mm to +25 in a five day maximum rainfall . Precipitation patterns and temperature alterations will lead to decrease in crop produce in most sub-tropical and tropical regions thus impacting negatively on sectors of Agriculture . Consequently, its effect will cause hunger in developing countries. In the last decade, there has been damage as a result of severe climatic conditions

The Parable of the Lost Sheep

Matthew 18:10-14 Luke 15:3-7 ‘Take care that you do not despise one of these little ones; for, I tell you, in heaven their angels continually see the face of my Father in heaven. What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? If he finds it, truly, I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. Therefore, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost. So he told them this parable: ‘Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. When he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, â€Å"Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.â⠂¬  Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than Jesus said, â€Å"The (Father’s) kingdom is like a shepherd who had a hundred sheep. One of them, the largest, went astray. He left the ninety-nine and looked for the one until he found it. After he had toiled, he said to the sheep, ‘I love you more than the ninety-nine.'† over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance. Scenery In the book of Matthew, the parable of the lost ship is presented in a fascinating context. In his analysis, Hagner observes that the context under which the parable was set can easily shake the faith of an individual. This is because it gives some of the most challenging rules that must be followed by each believer.Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on The Parable of the Lost Sheep specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More Hagner tries to figure out the circumstances that could have caused the sheep to stray. Therefore, it is noted that some factors may force sheep to stray1. However, the sheep is not to blame, but instead the ninety-nine sheep should take responsibility. Hagner goes a notch higher to suggest that those who scare the sheep should be dealt with accordingly. Under this section, he discusses matters related to discipline in the church. In case those who scare the sheep are not disciplined, the same problem might be encountered in the future. Exegetical Assessment Matthew Verse 10 Hagner observes that the angels that Jesus refers to in the verse are special types of angels that cannot be compared to other angels. This is because the angels could see God face-to-face. It was believed in the Jewish culture that only special angels would see God. Therefore, Jesus suggests in the book of Matthew verse ten that angels are ranked according to their capacity to their power. Those that are able to speak to God are special angels and are above the norm al angels. Harrington concurs with the reasoning of Hagner by noting that angels have limited access to the celestial. However, those who believe in the inferior angels should not be loathed. Matthew Verse 12 and Luke Verse 4 In the book of Matthew, Jesus poses a question to his disciples. He asks them to give their views regarding the parable of the lost sheep. This means that Jesus gave his disciples a chance to apply the parable in interpreting their lives. Nolland observes that Jesus never posed questions to his disciples in the book of Luke2. Jesus interacted with his disciples more directly in the book of Luke, unlike in the book of Matthew whereby he challenged his disciples to find the meaning of the parable. In both books, Jesus seems to go against societal expectations because the ninety-nine sheep would be more valuable as compared to a single sheep. In the book of Mathew, the wording of the verse changes the meaning of the parable.Advertising Looking for essay on re ligion theology? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More The phrase ‘gone astray’ is used in the book of Matthew meaning that the sheep could have dispersed without the influence of external forces. In the book of Luke, the phrase ‘losing one of them’ is used meaning that the sheep dispersed after the shepherd failed to control the situation. Matthew Verse 13 and Luke Verse 5-6 The major difference between the book of Matthew and Luke regarding the parable of the lost sheep is found in the above verses. In the book of Luke, it is certain that the shepherd would find the sheep while Matthew hints out that the chances of finding the sheep are minimal. In other words, Harrington notes that Luke is confident that the shepherd would find the sheep while Matthew gives the confidence of doubt3. In the book of Luke, the word ‘when’ is used while Matthew uses ‘if’. In both books, Hagner states th at the lost sheep would be found because joy signifies celebrations. Matthew Verse 14 and Luke Verse 7 In the book of Luke, verse seven can only be understood after studying verse six. In other words, verse seven is closely related to verse six. In the book of Luke, the owner of the sheep invited other people to rejoice with him after he found the lost sheep. He organized for a big party and thanked everyone for participating. Jesus said that it would be joyful for a sinner to repent and accept Jesus as his or her personal savior4. The verse goes ahead to suggest that Jesus came to salvage those languishing in sin. The sinful individuals are compared to the sick. In the book of Matthew, verse 14 suggests that there are little chances of finding the lost sheep. Hagner notes that those who stray might end up perishing. Message In the two books, the last verses seem to summarize the parable. Both books support the idea that church leaders must concentrate on bringing back the lost shee p. It is the role of the church members to ensure that each member of the church is comfortable. According to Matthew, no sheep should be allowed to disappear. Luke goes ahead to suggest that God is happy whenever one sheep is found. Therefore, church members should ensure that they search the lost hearts because it pleases God. Jesus is pleased more when one sheep is found. In fact, the parable suggests that Jesus came to cure the sick not the healthy. Therefore, the role of the church leader is to care for the sick not the healthy. As a rule, church leaders should ensure that they guide the congregation in the right way.Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on The Parable of the Lost Sheep specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More It is ethical for the church leaders to look for the lost sheep instead of taking care of the ninety-nine sheep. Without the support of the church leaders, the congregation is confused. The shepherd is therefore expected to leave the ninety-nine sheep and search for the lost sheep, even if it is only one. A controversy exists of whether the shepherd is God or Jesus. A close analysis suggests that the shepherd is both Jesus and God. Application The parable motivates church members to fulfill a common goal in life. Through the parable, church members are able to care for one another because Jesus suggested that they should be each other’s keeper. In fact, a church member should not behave in a manner that would compromise the faith of another church member. In various churches in the world, people forget their responsibilities and end up performing things that simply fulfill their interests. This contradicts the provisions of the parable because church members must care for each other. In the modern society, church members are simply concerned with their wishes and interests and they forget that they should support their brothers. The parable has transformed the way young pastors relate with other members of society. It is suggested that young pastors should deal with other youths who are yet to receive Jesus in their lives. This is based on the idea that Jesus came to heal the sick, but not the healthy. Bibliography Hagner, Donald A. Word Biblical Commentary. Dallas: Word Books, 1995. Harrington, Daniel. Sacra Pagina.
