Join us for the Life Science Innovation Accelerator StartUp Weekend @ the University of Washington on the last weekend before Fall Quarter commences...

This time around the Accelerator Innovation Master Class focuses on Life Sciences, Medicine, Pharma, BioMed, BioTech, BioEngineering, Biology, Chemistry, and Computer Sciences.

This is the intersection of Maths, Cloud, Chemistry, Statistics, Computer Science, Medicine, Business, and Biology, and it is here at the edges of the scientific disciplines that we will see the Future Emerging...

Join us this September at the UW CAMPUS in Seattle WASHINGTON where Dr Pano Kroko, convenes the Medicine and Life Science Tech StartUp Weekend as the first Accelerator in the University of Washington campus -- where He teaches his famous Innovation Master Class at the beginning of the Fall Quarter.

We will lay the practical foundation for true innovation in the Life Sciences within the University of Washington, and within the State of Washington, and the City of Seattle, through the active participation of the whole Community of Entrepreneurs and Hackers, by drastically increasing the sharing of knowledge and resources to shorten the time and the long term investment profile of Life Science companies to that of Internet and Mobile App companies. This is the ultimate Goal of this Innovation Accelerator.

Entrepreneurship coupled with Simple Applied Science, has led to innovations that continue to change our lives, but none of the companies who deliver those innovations would ever have been born if it were not for the Courageous people who led them and who chose to buck the trends, to go against the perceived normalcy, to escape the political correctness, the outside odds, the persistent Risks, and the awful Naysayers.

In short the Entrepreneurs who make our Human Innovation possible.

And today to address the persistent killing diseases, we need hundreds of companies working on thousands of ideas, including crazy-sounding ones to get to solutions. And as our early-stage ideas progress, private capital will pour-in to help build the companies that will deliver those ideas to market. This is the process of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at work.

I believe that the next decade will bring many breakthroughs that will help solve most of the major diseases of our time and we have to be the harbingers of this Evolutionary Change. The FDA is now moving much faster in the approval of new drugs and therapeutics, and the Doctors along with the consumers are far more eager to try new things, thus priming & readying the markets, and this makes New Pharma Companies possible, and quite profitable.

Just keep in mind that the original first iteration of Twitter was created inside Dr Kroko's Innovation Master Class at Stanford University ... so who knows what amazing company will spring forth from this iteration of the famous Innovation Master Class StartUp Weekend.

I believe Medicine will be upended and disrupted massively in the next ten years and we are here to create the New Companies who will do just that. We absolutely need to do this because only Innovation coupled with strategic disruption will solve most of the critical diseases and health issues that afflict the majority of Humanity today. And it is our disruptive creative innovation in BioTech and BioMed that will also stop the catastrophic illnesses and the major "killer viruses and bacteria" that rob human beings from our very lives, because we have to design the processes through which this will happen speedily, efficiently, and profitably.

One of the major areas we always focus on is the Troika of "People, Product, and Process" and thus we select the best of each category to create the winning startup teams endowed with our own strategic IP and we run them through our own proprietary process in order to create the Companies that will go on to solve our problems through the design methodology of new drugs and proteins.

If we want to live in the kind of Future that we like -- we best start working to create that Future through Design and Innovation.

To create this future though, we need to take several important steps. The creation of systemic and single Solution orientated StartUp Companies, is the First of these Steps.

The Second Step is to transition our thinking away from Academia to applied Science.

I believe we can make this transition faster—both because the pace of innovation is accelerating, and because we have never had such an urgent reason to move from one way of treating disease to another.

For a Society Cancer is a generalized killer that is managed through the Health Care System. But for a person and a family it is a unique catastrophe. THe same holds True for Heart Disease. Chronic Heart Illness is the number one killer worldwide, and we need to address that, because in the aggregate it causes more suffering than any other disease the world has ever known.

In my view, Innovation and Entrepreneurship are essential to human progress. Some people would say that I use this tool in order to look at every problem that I seek to solve, and there is some truth to that. But I believe it is justified by history. Just in my lifetime alone, medical Innovation has helped almost eradicate several deadly diseases and make a host of others manageable. The famous work of eradicating smallpox and the guinea worm, as well as the progress against polio, and malaria, and the fact that we have cut down the fraction of children who die every year at the earliest stages -- by a factor of four. And that child whose life we save -- is always someone's kid, and you now how that goes....

As an example of the value of Innovation to human Life -- these Life Science developments are considered far more important than any war, or ideological, and religious conflict outcome, during mine or anyone else's Lifetime.

Life Sciences at the core address Human Suffering and our own personal and private pain... as well as the general environmental pains that surround us.

So the sooner we start, the more human suffering we can prevent, and if you want to participate in this Life Sciences and Medicine Innovation Accelerator -- sign up. Also if you know of someone with exceptional talents, or of a CEO who needs to surround themselves with a solid Founding Team of Co-Founders in order to move Fast Forward their BioMed or BioTech or BioEngineering StartUp -- You should tell them about this StartUp Weekend and ask them to sign up by RSVP here bellow: https://www.meetup.com/AmericanAngels/events/223951750/

This particular ACCELERATOR STARTUP WEEKEND is AN INNOVATION MASTER CLASS in the specific field of LIFE SCIENCE DISCOVERY because it has an emphasis on BIOENGINEERING, BIOTECH, BIOMED, COMPUTER SCIENCE, INTERNET OF THINGS, MEDICINE & ALL LIFE SCIENCES, as enhanced with the tools of Data Science, Internet, Genomics, Systems Biology, Maths, Statistics, Network Genetics, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Nanotech, and Smart Pills, Near Field Communications, RFID, Imaging, MRI, Protein Science, Chemistry, Physics, and all of our collective wisdom against the main killing Diseases like Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes, etc.

http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/1/8/9/600_441833641.jpeg

To join us please RSVP here and also highlight your Resume, your StartUp ideas, and your deep domain expertise in a paper that you must bring with You Saturday morning. You may do research, or speak to your UW and other University professors who handle the Special Domain Expertise of your fields, such as Computer Science, BioEngineering, BioTech, BioMed, and the Technology Transfer Office, or the Patent Library to support you.

However most important is to evolve your Ideas towards a StartUp, and even bring your own already formed early stage StartUp company into the ACCELERATOR MASTER class so that You can enjoy the benefits of getting a complete Team and the launching Rocket Fuel of this Accelerator Class.

We are an Interdisciplinary mix of Domain Experts and Hackers for Life Sciences and Medicine with a focus on BioEngineering and we utilize all other UW Scientific disciplines such as Nanotech, Smart Pills, Space Tech, Wireless & Internet technologies, Wi-Fi, RFID, near field communication, MRI, Imaging, Augmented Reality, 3D printing, Virtual Reality, Mobile Apps, Integrated Biohacking, Systems Biology, Smart Medicine, Materials Science, and Nano-Engineering for New Pharma. We are investing in Medical and Biotech solutions. We are working on the intersection of Biotechnology, Medical Protein Science, Genetics, Telomeres, Nano Technology Engineering of Smart Pills, Chemistry, and Disease prevention, early recognition, and cure of catastrophic illnesses, and pushing the boundaries on Life Extension. This is the same Startup Weekend Bootcamp as it was first offered by Dr Kroko at the world's top Graduate Schools and Engineering Universities, over the last twenty years, and has spawned hundreds of successful StartUps, and created thousands of useful products, services, and in turn thousands of companies...

For this iteration of the Innovation Master Class, there are a few available spaces still, so if you have specialized talents, and a team with domain expertise, or novel ideas and want to built a company and a product or service, in any of these areas above or other great ideas -- please contact us. Our Medicine, Biotech, Biohacking, Sustainability, Tech, Green, Energy, Clean Innovation & Entrepreneurship Start Up Weekend Bootcamp is all about Business Solutions to our Social, Environmental, & Economic Issues. Business education, like life itself, is a continuous process of growth and effort. A Master Class steeped in the classic Japanese tradition of "Kaizen" -- always innovating, always perfecting -- our Technique of creating and synthesizing great Tech StartUps has become so potent that we are able to condense and compress between Six months to Six year of StartUp creation, incubation, and acceleration, all condensed in 60 hours of Constant Assembly. We are creating founders' teams, and building mentoring interaction, facilitating company building, along with Innovation Tech start up teaching, and financing the Start Up companies we create.

The StartUp founders, students, participants, and all attendees have to be aware that this great knowledge doesn't come cheap. The normal costs of participating in this Innovation Master Class amount to £ 5,000 GBP per participating student tech entrepreneur. Yet the class is offered on a scholarship basis "GRATIS" by Doctor Kroko and by the University who chooses to defray these costs because the School wants to engage in new business creation and not just in the management theory behind Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and New Company setups.

But Free Tuition doesn't mean "cheap." Our StartUp Weekend is rather valuable, cheerful, and sweet, and because of that, the entrepreneurial participants have to be aware that are being "sponsored" by Dr Kroko, and accordingly they ought to make the necessary effort to qualify their admission to the Master Class with reasonable effort and dedication is supporting the StartUp Weekend for All of the participants through Volunteerism.

http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/8/5/f/600_441835391.jpeg

To qualify simply RSVP here and send in your CV and a "Thesis" statement. Alternatively you could also be invited by Friends, of the American Angels, or by one of the many CEOs supported by Dr Kroko, or by your friendly and entrepreneurial Professors, or Academics.

Relational knowledge is disseminated and students are trained to comprehend and foster their own business growth, find their own meaning, and direct their own efforts, in a sustainable entrepreneurial fashion. Therefore in our Master Class we create viable sustainable and successful businesses that are expressions of the one continuing conviction that by education, by leadership, and by means of institutions formed for the purpose, it is possible to greatly improve the quality of life, to create wealth and jobs, and to build a better society. Training future business executives as students to become responsible leaders, includes exposing them to opportunities to think creatively, innovatively and go about doing business in different ways.

The world, the new economy, and all smart employers, are now looking for these skills and even the students themselves, many of whom aspire to become entrepreneurs, in order to find meaning and serve as leaders -- look for these opportunities, and flock to Dr Kroko's STARTUP ACCELERATOR Master Class.

In this edition of the Accelerator Innovation Start Up Weekend, we focus on a couple of simple things: "We believe that education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think" -- Albert Einstein

Over the course of the years, more than two hundred of the New successful Companies that are still alive today - have been created out of the over a Thousand Start Up Companies that got initially started out of this Master Class Weekend in it's many iterations.

http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/2/4/a/600_441833834.jpeg

WellHeart, Inc. was also started here and so many other world leading companies that are amazing successes and we constantly beat the odds and the success metrics of StartUp Companies.

In the outside of our Startup Weekend we invite upon completion the Angel Community and the VC community of the city to join and get first dibs on the newly created companies and thus we ensure that the companies are not starved of Capital and Associated Talent. The early funding of the successful companies that we launch through this Life Science StartUp Weekend Accelerator for Innovation -- ensure this method of creating long term value for shareholders and Founding team along with capable products and services, through the marriage of Science & Technology, Business Acumen, and Financial Entrepreneurship.

Quite a few startups that went on to become Billion Dollar Companies in Technology sector, were created this way and got their initial rocket fuel here, in order to manage to scale and reach escape velocity. We create New Companies in Energy, Finance, Internet, Software, Mobile, Internet & Web Services, SAAS, Communications, Human Services & Products, Consumer and Shared Economy, disruptive efficiencies, strategic initiatives, Healthcare, Biotech, Nano, Life Sciences, Brain & Mindfulness, Computing, and we also create companies that offer Clean Energy Services, Green Technology Solutions, Environmental Remediation, Financial Services, Social Network services, Communications solutions, Mobile Tech engineering, Infrastructure engineering for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation and also for Agricultural and Food production advances, Biotechnology, Medicine, Economic investment, Financial Innovation for Green Energy and Clean Tech, and Public policy nudges. Think of it: Two hundred living companies that have maintained their Sustainable Vision giving awesome value to the World and their customers are now with us because of our Master Class.

These are companies that were founded to solve really Big Problems and thereby became extremely useful to the world, and the world made them wealthy and relevant in return.

The IPO is the preferred method for these companies to ensure long term livelihood and independent success but many choose to follow the process of strategic M&A as the way to sustain themselves in order to be able to keep offering valuable products and services to the world for the long term.

Exits are sweet for the whole team...

What's better than that?

Celebrations Ensue...

Dr Kroko started his 2014-15 global tour this auspicious year, at the Far East end of the globe in China's Beijing Tsinghua [Qinghua-Xinghua] University over the weekend of January 12th and 13th and then continued eastward to the US for the second half of January and the first part of February 2015 at the University of Washington in Seattle. Next class will be in Europe for the month of March and in China, and then back in America during late June at the Draper University and Stanford University in Silicon Valley for the Summer. Follow our schedule and get into our class because this is the best time to Innovate and start a great entrepreneurial company. Because of that You are invited to come learn how to do the vaunted Green & Great Innovation, how to start new companies in mobile, internet, sustainability, energy, greentech, business, how to embed new innovation policies in your multinational company, how to enrich your Society, make your government better, strengthen our Democracy, & how to innovate within your enterprise utilizing ultra-lean agile innovation techniques. We also invite you to come to connect with finance and PE ventures, and also with Green Capital leaders for business opportunities, scaling up and strategic resource Co-operation. Yet one might ask: Why make all this Effort?

Because it's a Matter of Life and Death. If we are to survive as a species, we must make positive innovation part of the mainstream learning in business, technology and society. Same as we should do in general education in order to teach People Change, Adaptation, and Mitigation, towards Climate Change, Resource Constraints, and Environmental Chaos.After all, Innovation springs from the freedom to observe nature, see patterns, think freely, and connect ideas in new ways. Unfortunately our schools and universities generally allow us to connect ideas only in prescribed ways. Sometimes these methods lead to new insights, but more likely they lead to rote learning. Why is it that when one asks a first grade class which of them can draw, all of them eagerly raise their hands, but ask the same question of a high school class, and only one or two admit to having artistic skills? What convinced those who decided they could not draw? Why do we not encourage everyone to draw, even if they do so in their own ways? Great artists break the rules — and new ground — all the time. That is how they become great artists. We need schools and universities to be places where innovation happens routinely. Instead we share stories of how the great innovators left school to allow themselves the freedom to pursue their dreams. Turning this around is not equivalent to pruning the branches of the education tree — it is akin to grafting a new root system to it, and we have yet to develop the techniques for wholesale reinvention at that level. We must innovate in order to begin to understand where to start in order to create our new economies. Resilient economies that can sustain us through the resource and recession crises. The multi - Trillion pound economy of Green Innovation will not wait in the wings for the UK to pull it's act together but will surely and eagerly move to China and elsewhere where people will have it... So it is important for us to create the Start Ups that matter through Innovation.

So come participate, innovate, solve Big problems and start up great companies. It's also an opportunity to connect with the Environmental Parliament and it's Business Sustainability agenda, and a good time for arranging cooperation, civic action, engagement, policy advocacy and delivery -- and also schedule other public speaking engagements of Dr Kroko in the approximate territories covered in this cascading Public Teaching & Speaking Tour of 2014 around the globe. The Green Tech Start Up Innovation Tour of 2014-15 started from Beijing Tsinghua University as the starting point this January and in your University in the next months... It is a very auspicious year for Green Tech and Clean Energy Entrepreneurship, because in the year 2014-15, we expect to break many grid parity records and launch the thousand new Green Enterprises that will mark the dawn of the New Era of No-Carbon Energy.

http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/5/d/d/600_441834749.jpeg

This is a Master Class addressed to the Leaders. Because there is no more important issue for today's and tomorrow's business and society leaders, nor for the problem solvers, or for the engineers, the scientists, the business people and all the entrepreneurs -- than climate change. And there is no more important place in the effort to control greenhouse gas emissions than the United Europe because of the leadership Europe has shown in the Green Economy Political Agenda worldwide. And as we learn from past failures and successes we move to a place of clear vision populated by serious successes. At our Master Class we allow failure to be as powerful a learning mode as success. Because we see learning being all about risk. Unlike regular learning institutions that are anything but risk tolerant. There are good reasons for that, except when it comes to learning. At all the Universities teaching theories -- we deceive our students when we do not make it clear that knowledge is not absolute. Truth is the result of generations of observation, experimentation, exploration, refinement, pushing the boundaries of our experience, and rational scientific thinking... Yet truth builds on failure as much as success, but failure is anathema to today’s learning institutions. We must instill in students the drive to learn, and to help them see the vital role of failure in discovery. We need to expect our halls of learning to question their own processes and strategies, and their own success. We measure things, but spend little time on understanding what we should be measuring. We know great innovation always comes from the refinement of an initial idea, but we teach in and administer schools as if there are absolute certainties that we must never question. How can we ensure that the next series of great discoveries will be made? That is a challenge whose dimensions and starting places are elusive enough to be considered a truly wicked problem and we are solving it by building the methodology for success through the Innovation Start Up process.

Dr Kroko will teach this abundant resource of his Innovation Master Class at Tsinghua - Beijing, and then at the University of Washington in Seattle, followed by Stanford University Engineering School in Palo Alto, in Silicon Valley California during the following weekend, and Harvard and MIT in Cambridge, Boston [early February], followed by the Master Class offered at the IESE in Barcelona during the GSMA Mobile World Congress 2015; and then the fabulous and must attend "London Open Innovation Weekend" at the ESCP London's Premiere Business Management University, during the first weekend of March 2015. The ESCP school of Paris, is the oldest management school in the world since it was founded by Napoleon Bonaparte. And to this day it claims to be the best MBA Management University in the world with graduates in leadership positions [proving the point] throughout Europe and the world, in commerce, industry, banking, and government. But they are not entrepreneurial and are not Innovators and we aim to fix that.

And now this Life Science Discovery StartUp Innovation Weekend, merges the Life Science within and without. It helps us solve human illness but also environmental and ecosystem illnesses because the two are integrally related. This Weekend Bootcamp for Innovation and StartUps provides the global Start Up network with the moorings in Life Science, Biotech, BioMed, Pharma, Renewable sustainable energy, and Clean Technology, that fosters monumental growth of ideas and out of bounds entrepreneurial leaps, will be offered also in Seattle's amazingly integral school of the UW. This version of the US tour of the Tech, Open & Green Innovation, is the famous Start Up Weekend Class themed; and we also focus on the Pacific Northwest, and in particular in Seattle, because it is the region of the United States most likely to spawn the Future of BioTech as it intersects with Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, and the Internet of All Things and of the Future, with it's Libertarian and Free Thinking Independent and Democratic traditions, that place the People and the Patients in charge of their Health and WellBeing.

So come one and come all and invite your free spirited friends who converge here from all over the world and who have started the new Mobile communications revolution within the human body...

Heady Stuff...

So let's do this because there is no more important issue for today's leaders, for the problem solvers, for engineers, scientists, business people and entrepreneurs, than climate change and no more important country in the World in the effort to control the spread of killer Diseases and population Malfeasance.

In particular -- Dr Pano Kroko's ACCELERATOR MASTER CLASS is an intense Start Up weekend on Innovation at the most prestigious Business Management and Engineering Schools, will focus on shifting the Intellectual and Entrepreneurial Energy of the dynamic students and professors of the University of Washington, towards a sustainable future of HEALTHCARE by scaling the solutions already used and innovating through all the science and technology based tools & applications available to us today.

Accelerating Medical and Pharma and BioTech, and Engineering solutions for the Big Problems of today, and designing the future through entrepreneurship is the hot topic that Dr Kroko has offered in his ACCELERATOR and Innovation Start Up Master Class to MBA and Engineering graduate students at the best Universities across the world and this is what He is doing again at Stanford's Innovation Start Up weekend this year and on to the rest of the US, Europe, and beyond. From Tsinghua, to Stanford, and MIT, to UW, Harvard and NYU, and from Imperial to Oxford and Cambridge, from ESCP London to Sorbonne in Paris and IESE in Barcelona, and from Waseda, to Shanghai University, this INNOVATION Start Up Weekend Master Class, has spawned over two hundred sustainably successful companies alive today, and hordes of others not with us anymore. All together more than a Thousand StartUp companies have been built. And even the ones who bit the dust - still have given us education, valuable insights, directions and serviceable iterations of ideas and many exits. When we fail, we fail forward and start another StartUp all over again. Over a Thousand companies have been launched through this process. Because of this record it is a must attend event for all aspiring and technically able MBAs, engineers, techies, geeks, designers, web and mobile entrepreneurs and even academics or Social scientists interested in Innovation and the proliferation of innovative practices throughout Society, Business, Institutions, Governments and all of the organisations that make up our world.

This is a great Master Seminar Accelerator course that helps to launch and begin a fast track process for scale of healthy StartUp enterprises geared to addressing the challenges of today. Because we can solve all problems with the leading Innovative and Inventive companies of tomorrow, when the best human capital from chemistry, physics, technology graduates, engineers, Business Masters and all the other scientific discipline graduates -- come together here to formulate the neural networks and links the pathways to product orientated thinking.

This is also a great Innovation Master Class for those involved and innovating in government, public policy, Academia, and business bureaucracy, as well as for those working on the C-level executive suite, of international large and middle scale enterprises.

We tend to change slowly as people and yet as members of the Human Family methinks that we are smarter than that... And if you need a Pep talk to get it -- here it is:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-gQLqv9f4o

We are better than that because we have Medical science and technology becoming continuously more affordable and democratically available to all of us. Because of that, we are conducting a Master Class on solving the Big Problems via Innovation as an empirical application for the United State’s transition to the Affordable Care Act and towards the Health Security of the American People.

And here are the 10 Lessons on Innovation and Creation of Solutions from none other than Albert Einstein the very founder of Photovoltaic technology in transmuting Solar radiation to electricity, and the very reason why he received the Nobel Prize:

1. Follow Your Curiosity because as he always said and I quote him here: “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”
2. Perseverance is Priceless: “It’s not that I’m so smart; it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”
3. Focus on the Present: “Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”
4. The Imagination is Powerful: “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
5. Make Mistakes: “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”
6. Live in the Moment: “I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.”
7. Create Value: “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
8. Don’t be repetitive: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
9. Knowledge Comes From Experience“Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.”
10. Learn the Rules and Then Play Better: “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”

This is the aim of this Weekend Seminar: Coupling American Yankee ingenuity with entrepreneurial innovation in advance of Medicine and Medical Biological Technology innovation modelling -- successful locally and iterated here and across the globe. In this Master Class we can add greater depth to a practical understanding of America’s technological innovation landscape, business and government systems and the country’s current and future role in a globalized Medical and Life Science Economy.

Dr Kroko focuses on America’s specific methods and technologies of Biotechnology intersecting with Computer Science, via science based Tech Start Up development.

After all Crisis always precipitates a shift and a possible change.

This is how business helps us solve the Health Care dilemma, because the potential for leap frogging is tremendous and the entrepreneurial rewards enormous. This is the time of Disruption. So come join us. All the Dead Poets advise You: CARPE DIEM = Seize the moment.

The American nation’s ability to innovate, deploy, accelerate & escalate, its use of Medical Advancement and Pharmaceutical Technology also demonstrates US’s ability to leapfrog directly to the latest and most prevalent of the available Biological technologies long term. Because ultimately, there is a real competition and the Innovators will win BIG. Yet this is not a zero sum game but rather a large cooperative effort to address the big problems of Health, Wellness, and Disease Management.

We are in it together and the smartest minds are innovating along these lines currently at the top schools and labs across the world. And the winning team of this Open Innovation weekend will get funded Monday morning, when the leading Angels, VCs and PE friends of Dr Kroko, will convene to hear the newly hatched Start Up teams present during the "Pitch&Demo" show and competition Champagne & Caviar brunch... Be prepared to be challenged and placed in danger of changing your ideas, your Life, and your future. Come willing to get on the Edge and beyond. Come to be real and to find out what you want to do with your Life and the Destiny you can create: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151397745507577&set=vb.150082065062250&type=2&theater

So come join us on this intensive Master Class Weekend Bootcamp for StartUps, so we can foster the second wave of Innovation to keep the momentum going forward. INFO: What Do We Teach and practice during the Innovation Start Up Master Class Weekend? We teach by Doing. WE PRACTICE and practice again and again, the building method and the process of Creation of a new Start Up with the BEST VIABLE PRODUCT & SERVICE to solve the big problems of the world today.

The starting talks for the ACCELERATOR are at the UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Fluke Hall Co-Motion, Maker Space Auditorium, and that is where the ACCELERATOR Innovation Master Class will be held.

An INNOVATION of the Mind indeed ... and we gather to attend the lecture of Dr Pano Kroko Chairman of the Environmental Parliament and his ACCELERATOR Master Class for Entrepreneurs. The Master Class opening talks are at the UW Co-Motion Auditorium are this Fall Quarter.

And the Master Class is held at the UW school and it is assisted by the leading Professors with domain expertise, and with the best of breed Venture Capital representatives of the VC industry and Private Equity firms from all over the West Coast. Because these VC firms, as well as the global firms from America and China are always scouting our Master Class for the next Twitter, Square, Google, and Seattle Wireless, to be discovered through our ranks.

Dr Kroko will be speaking and sharing the methodology of building companies for Clean Energy, Clean Tech, Green Tech and Green Innovation. Building companies that are keen on solving the Big Problems and tackling the serious issues pertaining to Climate Change, Biotechnology, BioMedicine, Biogenetics, Geoengineering and all things Green.

This Innovation Revolution will not be televised and all the Entrepreneurs along with the great Scientists wishing to build the businesses of the future and willing to participate in this New Revolution are invited. Please Network this invitation to your circle of Founders and Business friends and email your StartUp team contacts and especially the young people building Start Up products & services across the world. Then come to this must attend Master Class that will be cosponsored through Stanford's Engineering, Computer Science, Software, and Management School Professors, and through the EP university team. For the extreme entrepreneurs, who are not associated with the school -- you can volunteer to help for this event and thus earn your tuition fees and attend.

We offer this Master Class also to the hackers and the outsiders of the UW but also to the ultimate insiders, the Engineers, and the Computer Scientists and the MBA community also, because innovative Start Ups are now urgently needed in order to amend our world, solve the Big Social Problems ahead, change the steeply slopping downwards road we are on, and help adaptation by creating a future worth living.

A new emergent complexity is needed right about now. This is the only way. We must innovate in order to be able to adapt. Survival of the fittest is the survival of the ones most able to change, and thus adapt. And this new economics of adaptation, will rewards us mightily.

Our civilisation, humanity and our local and networked economies will benefit not only by the New Medicine, the New Pharma, and the New Biotech, but also we shall make the financing case for these innovative StartUps because there is a lot of ANGEL CAPITAL, and easy money available from the Angel Investors, the American Angels, and from the small local VCs of the City, along with Private Equity Capital, as well as money from the the Jobs sector, from Industry, Institutions, and from various Friends and Family of the UW community, from the various government acronyms, like DARPA, ARPA, NIH, NHS, WH, and from the ACA, FDA, Energy department, from the Environmental Agency, Small Business Administration Development, the American Business Union, the Environmental Parliament and Green Capital, the Accelerator -- and it's all designed to augment your chances of future success.

The Methodology starts here: In order to create new innovative Start-Ups, we must first consider what exactly we mean by the term “innovation”.Innovation is “the introduction of something new”. We differentiate innovation from both invention and improvement as follows: Innovation differs from invention in that innovation refers to the use of a better and, as a result, novel idea or method, whereas invention refers more directly to the creation of the idea or method itself. Innovation differs from improvement in that innovation refers to the notion of doing something different (Latin innovare = "to change") rather than doing the same thing better.”These new and different things come about in varying degrees. There are different levels of innovation such as “core”, “adjacent” or “transformational” towards new Start-Ups and strategic enterprises, towards existing company’s current products and brand new assets.Innovation needs collaboration, and feeds into three levels of innovation: “incremental“, “breakthrough”, and “transformational”. Meanwhile, the three levels of “incremental”, “substantial”, and “radical” can be easily transplanted with the three stages aboveThere are many more ways to depict these stages. Yet for our Innovation purposes, we want to CREATE start ups in the space of our Master Class: So we start here in three simple Panoisms : 1) You can do anything you set your mind to, with adequate perseverance, intelligence, passion & skill. 2) Everything that can be converted from an atom to a bit, will be and you can create products based on this premise all day long. 3) Do you want to live a life pushing paper around or do you want to build products that change people's lives? So Go Forth & Innovate.

After all, Innovation Excellence is what it's all about for both Public and Business Creation, Entrepreneurship and Management or Administration.

To your best future...

Yours, Dr Kroko

Start Up Innovation Creation Record: As you know am a legendary Angel investor and I write more than one hundred X-large checks each year.Usually more than 100 checks all across the world each year. Over the course of time, we have founded over two hundred successful Start Ups and many more that have become part of the ecosystem in various incarnations. Acquisitions, strategic exits, IPOs etc are all around in dome form. A good thirty percent of them are still alive and kicking as independent entities solving big problems and employing smart people who care about our world. That's some record...Here are some Examples of some other Big problem solving Start Ups I support and the program, we work through the Universities across Europe, Asia and the US... this year:Forbes magazine reviews our Start Ups in Paris: http://www.forbes.com/sites/ricardogeromel/2012/11/27/paris-startup-weekend-goes-green-winner-wants-to-sell-insects-as-food-for-kids/Paris Startup Weekend Goes Green: Winner Wants to Sell Insects as Food for Kids = An Abundant & Sustainable Protein food source, already being used in 2/3 of the world but not in developed western world... Processed insect protein tastes great and is nutritious without the toxins, chemistry and antibiotics associated with red meat.It's a great idea because by Replacing our meat culture with this source of protein we can improve our health, preserve mammals, and also save all the primary forests from turning to pasture such as the Amazon rainforest, and also preserve all forested lands, wild pastures and great grasslands all across the world...

Energy, Finance, Emergent Complexity, Mobile Communications, the rise of the Commons, Crowdsourcing, the Internet and our State of the Art Science and Technology along with Complex Life bottom-up rules -- all manifesting themselves strongly in this new Millennium, -- we are provided with the greatest opportunity for Disruption ever. Well, then Go Ahead and make a Start Up. See this video bellow as a boost of your Innovation morale and start thinking of what Great Industry Goliath You want to disrupt. Over here and you are going to be thrilled by an incredible source of Discovery done through the power of the Internet with a lone young thinker and doer making miracles:

Now...

Why we do this?

Because we can compress six years of company building into 52 hours.

And because we proved over the years that it works.

ACCELERATORS WORK -- INCUBATORS DON'T.... as Kaufmann Foundations' Report after their Ten Year study of Incubators has clearly shown us.

And because as old Albert says: "One should not pursue goals that are easily achieved. One must develop an instinct for what one can just barely achieve through one’s greatest efforts." —Albert Einstein

“Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.” -Albert Einstein
