Événements de formation, dans la région pour pharmaciens opérants

AUTRES NOTES

Name tag venait avec l’hôtel, l’affichage dans l’hôtel

Dernière journée de conférence: l’assemblée des actionnaires, conférence d’intérêt générale comme l’expérience, i.e. athlète olympique ou psychologue venait parler. Les invités parlaient de leurs expériences de vies, et c’était en lien avec la thématique habituellement.

Chili, Vienne

Vienne: 25e anniversaire de Familiprix, un bal pour célébrer dans un palais impérial.

Les pharmaciens ont déjà voyagé: ils faut les surprendre dans les événements.

Fiscalement moins admissible de seulement célébrer, faut un peu un volet travail. Sujet léger.

Conjoints: Laisser libre habituellement. Mais souvent, le conjoint est related dans l’industrie pcq c’est des pharmaciens propriétaires.

NOUVEAUX TRENDS: Pharmaciens ont plus de responsabilités pcq médecins trop occupés.

Opportunity Ecosystem to Develop Inclusive Startup Ecosystems in Minority Communities

Following a career-high season, Derrick Morgan of the Tennessee Titans has partnered with veteran angel investor and founder of Opportunity Hub, Rodney Sampson, to create Opportunity Ecosystem. The partnership – which will launch at this year’s SXSW – was created to develop inclusive startup technology ecosystems in cities throughout the United States in an effort to increase diversity in the innovation, entrepreneurship and investment economy.

Opportunity Ecosystem will launch their ecosystem building platform at SXSW (March 10 – 12th) by hosting a series of talks, panels, special events and receptions that will feature conversations with Van Jones (New York Timesbest-selling author and one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People), Steve Case (Billionaire founder of AOL and Revolution Fund), Johnetta Elzie (Cofounder of Campaign Zero), Janice Bryant Howroyd (Founder & CEO, ACT-1 and Forbes 34th richest self-made woman in the world) and Russell Okung (Denver Broncos).

$50K-$100K Investment Home Business Start-Ups – Visit the Home Biz Mag EXPO

Over 30 speakers will take part in Opportunity Ecosystem’s SXSW launch. For full details on these events, please visit http://ift.tt/2lN4b58

Determined to ensure minority communities reach their full potential, Opportunity Ecosystem is currently hosting pop-up events and inviting minority college students to apply for an all expense paid trip to SXSW for the purpose of connecting with tech recruiters and leaders in the global startup community. Branded as @HBCUSXSW, Opportunity Ecosystem will bring over 100 of the brightest Black and Latino engineering and entrepreneurial students from our nation’s Historically Black College and Universities (HBCU’s), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSU’s) and Predominantly White Institutions (PWI’s) to this year’s SXSW to experience all that SXSW has to offer, including engaging and interviewing with over 20 technology companies including Snapchat, Google, Mailchimp, Microsoft, Delta Air Lines and Booz Allen Hamilton. Learn more about their crowd-funding campaign HBCU@SXSW herehttp://ift.tt/1h50UYmhbcusxsw

Opportunity Ecosystem will address the persistent opportunity gaps for people of color as they look to develop a career in technology or build a high growth startup via its early exposure, education, ecosystem building and capital formation initiatives. Through Opportunity Ecosystem’s access to the Tech Opportunity Fund, a $100 million diversity scholarship fund, and national network of serial entrepreneurs, angel investors, venture capitalists, professional athletes, mentors, HBCU’s and regional business associations, the Opportunity Ecosystem will be able to offer student and minority entrepreneurs the opportunity to learn, network and engage with some of the world’s top innovators, entrepreneurs and investors like Troy Carter and Rashaun Williams.

Opportunity Ecosystem’s end-to-end ecosystem building platform will provide underrepresented technology and entrepreneurial talent access to the education, skills, best practices, mentors, business and technology networks, tools and capital necessary to maximize their opportunities for success in the innovation economy as they enter the workforce and start building companies.

The Opportunity Ecosystem seeks to increase the number of minority, high-growth technology and early-stage companies by developing, accelerating and incubating the talent as they seek to navigate the innovation, entrepreneurship and investment ecosystem. Currently, less than 1% of angel and venture fund investments are invested in African American and Latino high growth companies. The Opportunity Ecosystem aims to change that by launching an equity crowd-funding platform, creating new angel investors and connecting new companies to capital opportunities. Ultimately, Morgan and Sampson seek to create a scalable model for economic development that can be replicated in low and middle-income communities across the country.

About Derrick Morgan Derrick Morgan is a Cofounder of Huddle Ventures, the parent company of Opportunity Ecosystem. Derrick is also a first round draft pick and seven-year starting outside linebacker for the Tennessee Titans who just finished his best season to date. Morgan attended Georgia Institute of Technology, received his MBA from the University of Miami and has invested in several high growth startups and venture funds.

About Michael Peterson

Michael Peterson is a Cofounder of Huddle Ventures, the parent company of Opportunity Ecosystem. A graduate from Georgia Tech School of Management, Peterson uses his affiliation with athletes to leverage their funds and businesses as an advisor. Peterson has employed his power to influence as a Sales Specialist with major fortune 500 IT corporations like IBM, Lenovo, and Hewlett Packard Enterprises.

About Rodney Sampson Rodney Sampson is a Senior Advisor of Huddle Ventures and Chairman and CEO of Opportunity Ecosystem. Sampson is also a veteran technology entrepreneur, angel investor, published author and experienced ecosystem builder focused on diversifying the innovation, entrepreneurship and investment ecosystem as a solution to closing the racial wealth gap in America and beyond. He accomplishes this via the following entities – Opportunity Ecosystem, TechSquare Labs (a 25,000 s/f technology incubator and venture fund in Atlanta), Huddle Ventures, Tech Opportunity Fund (a $100 million diversity scholarship fund for aspiring coders and software engineers) and Kingonomics.

New Venture Partner For Tim Drapers Blockchain Venture Studio

The Los Angeles-based venture capital studio focused on blockchain and fintech startups, which longtime venture investor Tim Draper now calls home, has added a new venture partner to its team.

Draper Goren Holm, the firm Draper manages alongside co-founders Alon Goren and Josef Holm, said Rodney Sampson has joined the crew as a venture partner.

Sampson previously founded Multicast Media Technologies, which was acquired for $24 million back in 2010 and was a partner at TechSquare Labs, which has a portfolio valued at over $1.5 billion.

Currently serving as a non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, Sampson was brought on by the new firm to work on diversifying deal flow.

“Rodney will play a key contribution to Draper Goren Holm’s strategy to diversify our deal flow. We are excited to have him on board as he brings the grit, deep industry insight, and entrepreneurial spirit we need to build the next generation blockchain hub in Los Angeles and beyond,” said Alon Goren, in a statement.

The relationship between Sampson, Goren and Holm dates back nearly a decade, when the three men met at a crowdfunding event in Las Vegas.

“I couldn’t be more excited to join their team to bring the future of blockchain technologies and startup to market; and as a platform for equity as we work to solve our planet and society’s hardest challenges,” said Sampson in a statement.

"Reality TV star Tanya Sam on life as an entrepreneur"

In 2018, women received only 2.2 percent of all venture capital funding. Women Techmakers, Google’s program to build visibility, community and resources for women in technology, is committed to changing this narrative. That’s why we’re launching Founded, a new web series that shares the stories of women founders who are using tech to solve some of the world’s most pressing challenges. To highlight the stories of four women of color tech entrepreneurs, for our first season we’re taking our viewers to Atlanta, home of one of the largest technology hubs in the U.S. 

In our first episode, we meet Tanya Sam, a reality TV star and tech startup investor. Through her work with Tech-Square Labs and the Ambition Fund, Tanya is strengthening the power of historically under-served entrepreneurs. 

We sat down with her to dig deeper into her vision for the tech industry. Here’s what she had to say about her past life working in healthcare, how she’s helping bring minority voices to the table and how she balances her career with filming a television show.

Today, you’re a tech entrepreneur, investor and reality TV show star—but you were a nurse for the bulk of your career. Tell me about your career transition to becoming a tech founder. 

When I first moved to Atlanta, I was still working full-time as a registered nurse, and my then-boyfriend/now fiancé Paul was launching a cybersecurity company. On our second date, he actually had to take a coffee meeting with his co-founder, and I sat in on the whole conversation. I was so impressed! I wanted to learn more about the entrepreneur world.   

My career in healthcare is actually what inspired Limitless Smart Shot: As a nurse, I worked busy 12-hour days, and we relied on coffee constantly. So I wanted to create a dietary supplement that would be healthier and could increase focus, attention, memory and support healthy brain function.  

You’re the co-founder of  Tech Square Labs, Atlanta’s lead seed stage venture fund. What was your vision for Tech Square Labs? What problems are you hoping to solve?

The vision of TechSquare Labs was to create opportunities to help tech entrepreneurs make something from nothing. Oftentimes, early entrepreneurs have an idea that they believe can become a large-scale, technology-based company, but they don’t have the resources to drive that idea. TechSquare Labs helps with everything from providing coworking space to helping teams with patent research and networking opportunities.

You also founded the Ambition Fund to invest in women and underrepresented entrepreneurs. Where do you see The Ambition Fund scaling with the next five years?

In the next five years, I plan to take the Ambition Fund Business Battles to over 50 cities across the globe, help fund over 500 companies and by that point to have also helped 1,000 women and minorities become angel investors. I want to help change the face of entrepreneurship by making it more female, more black and more diverse.

Just being on set with you for the shoot, I noticed that you have a great sense of humor. What really cracks you up?

I am truly a corny and goofy nerd at heart! I like dry, witty humor and laugh at my own dumb jokes. I try to live life to the fullest by working hard and enjoying what I do! I think that comes from my stint as an oncology nurse; it really teaches you an appreciation for life and health. 

What’s it like filming The Real Housewives of Atlanta? I’ve read you turned down the opportunity to film full-time—why?

When I was offered the chance to work on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, I thought it was a great chance to show the life of a black woman working in tech on mainstream television; representation matters! But filming takes a ton of time, and it wouldn’t be possible for me to work on the Ambition Fund and TechSquare Labs, and all my other projects, if I were on the show full-time!

You do a lot of these kinds of interviews; is there anything you’d like to share that you don’t usually get asked about?

I love to talk about my passion for a nonprofit organization that I am very involved in. Kate’s Club is an Atlanta nonprofit helping young people who are facing life after the death of a parent or sibling. Kate’s Club connects kids and young adults so they can share their experiences, and helps them process their grief in a comfortable, safe, uplifting setting. I’ve been a volunteer and working with children at Kate’s Club since 2016, and I’m currently on the Board of Directors and serving as the Gala Chair for our annual Mourning Glory Gala May 16, 2020.

There’s a personal reason why Kate’s Club holds such a special place in my heart. I also experienced loss at an early age; I lost my mother at the age of 12. When I was going through that, let me tell you, there was nothing like this around for my younger sister and I. No clubhouse, no programs, no summer camps or even exposure to other kids that had experienced loss.    

Are there any stories you’d like to share about using your influencer status in a positive way?

So recently, I actually helped bring someone onto the Kate’s Club board after meeting online. I use my Instagram Stories to talk about my work at Kate’s Club, and I had a woman reach out to me to share her grief story, and she ended up making a donation right there over Instagram. And now, just this week, she ended up joining the board!
