Startup 'in rosa' guadagnano terreno, chiave di volta la preparazione in materie Stem

(Adnkronos) - I dati continuano a rivelare che le startup fondate da donne faticano a raccogliere fondi di venture capital in Europa e negli Stati Uniti. Ma ci sono anche segnali incoraggianti: PitchBook, fornitore di dati su venture capital, private equity e fusioni e acquisizioni, evidenzia che le startup 'in rosa' stanno guadagnando terreno in termini di volume di operazioni. Tanti gli attori in campo per trasformare questo gap in opportunità e tutti concordi che, per riuscirci, bisogna iniziare a lavorare sui più giovani partendo dalle scuole secondarie per sostenere la fiducia delle giovani studentesse nelle proprie capacità imprenditoriali e soprattutto in materie Stem. Startup "rosa" Tanti gli esempi illuminati in Italia: dalla prima edizione dello Stem Women Congress portato in Italia nel 2024 da Women at Business ai numerosi eventi di Codemotion che rende, a partire dalla sua fondatrice, la sua community di developer sempre più rosa. “Lo Stem Women Congress ha dimostrato come ogni azienda abbia oggi bisogno di talenti femminili nelle materie stem”, commentano Laura Basili e Ilaria Cecchini, fondatrici di Women at Business. “Due i temi: la mancanza di role model nelle materie scientifiche per sostenere una spinta e un'identificazione necessarie e, dall’altro, invece, la possibilità di dedicare tempo alla propria formazione per chi, non più giovanissima, ha intrapreso carriere diverse ma è ancora assolutamente in tempo per trovare spazio in ruoli Stem".   "La nostra app Women Plus, il cui main sponsor è Tim, è piena di corsi totalmente gratuiti per certificarsi nelle nuove professioni accessibili a tutti a portata di telefonino: un modo intelligente per dedicare qualche ora di tempo in queste vacanze e arrivare all’autunno con qualche strumento professionale in più”, aggiunge. Sottolinea Chiara Russo di Codemotion: “La mia esperienza di imprenditrice nel mondo della tecnologia mi ha insegnato che la diversità di genere è una risorsa fondamentale per l'innovazione e la crescita sostenibile. Tuttavia, la presenza delle donne nel settore Ict e imprenditoriale è ancora limitata, con un ostacolo significativo per il progresso".   Emozioni e sfide "Come co-fondatrice di Codemotion, ho vissuto in prima persona - racconta - le sfide che le imprenditrici affrontano e credo che perseguire i propri sogni con tenacia e determinazione sia fondamentale, ma conciliare i diversi aspetti della vita non sia sempre facile. Per superare questo divario, è cruciale iniziare dalle nuove generazioni e noi lavoriamo sulla sensibilizzazione e sull'educazione fin dalle scuole, per abbattere stereotipi e incoraggiare ragazze e giovani donne ad intraprendere senza paura carriere tecnologiche e imprenditoriali”. Serve però un cambiamento culturale profondo che sostenga le donne nell’intero loro percorso professionale. “Ancora oggi, sono infinite le sfide che le donne si trovano ad affrontare nel conciliare carriera e maternità, vista come ostacolo al successo professionale. Ed è proprio per questo che ho, insieme a Silvia Icardi, scritto ‘Le Parole delle Madri’, un libro-inchiesta diventato una piéce teatrale per portare queste voci al mondo delle aziende come strumento di riflessione e cambiamento culturale. La diversity & inclusion partono da qui: abbattendo stereotipi per promuovere un ambiente lavorativo che valorizzi veramente le competenze uniche che anche la maternità - e la paternità - possono portare, senza dovere più scegliere tra essere madri e la carriera”, conclude l’imprenditrice sociale Roberta Colombo Gualandri.   ---lavoro/start-upwebinfo@adnkronos.com (Web Info) Foto di Daria Nepriakhina 🇺🇦 da Pixabay Read the full article

From Developer to CTO - Tech Leadership Training Bootcamp by Codemotion - Day 2

In this post I'll briefly review the second and final day (Sunday, June 23) of the "From Developer to CTO" Bootcamp event, the final phase of the Tech Leadership Training Course: an online program promoted by Facebook Developer Circles in partnership with Codemotion and designed to help developers in their journey to become Chief Technical Officers by combining strong interpersonal, influential and technical skills. In case you missed the DAY 1 report (Saturday, June 22), you've still the chance to get rid of your sin by reading it here! In this second day the attendees had the chance to get some valuable insights from the Facebook experts, which shared their knowledge about a number of different yet interesting topics: Facebook values, hiring techniques, team management and product management.

The place

This bootcamp has been designed to be a 2-days event hosted by Codemotion by the LUISS EnLabs & LVenture Group venues in Rome, Italy.

LUISS EnLabs, also known as "The Startup Factory", is one of the leading startup accelerators in Europe. It was established in 2013 as a joint venture between LVenture Group - a venture capital operator listed on the Stock Exchange - and LUISS Guido Carli University, and in just a few years it has accelerated over 60 startups. Twice a year LUISS EnLabs selects them for its Acceleration Programs and also organizes Open Innovation Programs to bring corporates into the world of innovation. Overall, the startups have collected 44 million euros, 11 from LVenture Group and the remaining from other international venture capital funds and Business Angels. Thanks to the support of its network of investors, corporates and institutions - including LUISS University - and its partners Wind Tre, BNL Gruppo BNP Paribas, Accenture and Sara Assicurazioni, LUISS EnLabs has grown into a real point of reference for innovation in Italy.

The Program - Second Day

9:00: check in opening 9:30: Opening by Facebook 10:00: Talk by Facebook - Facebook values and how we hire, Emer O’Leary & Ashley Jameson 11:15-11:30: Small Break 11:30: Talk by Facebook - How to set your own values / Health of teams, Emer O’Leary & Ashley Jameson 13:00-14:00: Lunch break 14:00: Talk by Facebook - Product Management inside Facebook, Rags Vadali 15:00-15:15: Small Break 15:15 - 16:30: Talk by Facebook - Product Management workshop, Rags Vadali All the talks have been held in english language.

Opening

As it can be easily seen by looking at the program, the final day was entirely dedicated to Facebook: the world's leading social network was once again introduced by Willie Elamien, Facebook Product Partnership Program Manager, which briefly summarized the various topics that will be addressed later on and asked us to fill in a Facebook survey strictly related to the Developer Circles initiative.

Funny enough, the questionnaire was made using Google Forms instead of relying to a Facebook app: a vibrant sign that such cloud-driven tools are now a de-facto standard for everyone, to the point you stumble upon them even in the places where you least expect it. Right after Willie the stage went to the official Developer Circles Rome Facebook group: the two founders asked the attendees to join, explaining how such group could help the Developer Circles italian community to grow even further in these crucial early stages. For those who want to join them, here's the URL to click to. They even introduced the audience to a funny "selfie lottery", which might sound a bit odd considering the context... and it actually kind of was, when they actually pulled it off! (more on that later on)

  Facebook values and how we hire

Right after the selfie lottery guys it was the turn of Emer O’Leary & Ashley Jameson: after a brief introduction, they introduced us to the Facebook EMEA Recruiting Program: an enticing set of techniques aiming to build the best teams in the world and create an amazing company culture. The program strongly relies to a passionate recruiting community formed by Program Managers, Recruiters, Coordinators and Sourcers: they explained quite well how all of these people work together to bring the world's best talent to Facebook.

They made a good speech, often switching between the employer objectives (Facebook, yet also a standard company) and the employees expectations and personal goals. Although hardly original, such approach - if performed to its fullest extent - is probably the less reckless approach for a company to bring togheter demand and supply in our current working reality. When talking from the employee perspective, they introduced the concept of Employee Value Proposition (EVP), which is basically the balance of the rewards and benefits that are received by employees in return for their performance at the workplace. Such topic eventually brought the first interactive workshop of the day, who was about finding a proper way define a company culture.

Once done, Ashley jameson took over the mic to talk about Facebook Careers, the Facebook hiring platform: she spent a good amount of slides to briefly recap the most important tasks that needs to be done by a potential candidate to be noticed, and also by companies to attract them in the best possible way. From the importance of LinkedIn to the benefits of building a good offline presence; from the challenge of doing first-hand hiring interviews, to the pros and cons of resorting to head-hunters and job agencies. An enjoyable talk that approached the topic from both sides: candidates and companies.

How to set your own values / Health of teams

Right after that, Emer O’Leary took over to bring back the concept of values: those what we seek during a job interview, yet also those that we expect to find within the ideal company we're looking for. Again, the perspective change was the real added value of the talk: being forced to continuously switch to either side of the river was a good exercise for those who frequently deal with hiring processes, yet also precious for those who are actively seeking it.

Is our company good enough to attract great coders? Are we actually using the the things that we do and/or those who define us to their full extent? Is there a way to improve using our current brand image, or do we have to change it to increase our chances to find (or be found by) what we're looking for? These questions were enough to keep us thinking... at least until the lunch break.

Product Management inside Facebook

The whole afternoon experience was expertly led by Rags Vadali, Product Manager for Facebook and formerly for Google. The first part of his talk was all about Product Building fundamentals, which is definitely a great topic for former developers and aspiring CTOs, since neither of them usually know much about that.

Understand, Identify, Execute: those were the three keywords Rags tried to carve in our minds: a simple plan that could only work if those who want to pull it off follow some proven best practices in all the defining phases, thus avoiding some hideous, yet common pitfalls that could hinder the whole process. Rad chose to focus the understanding phase, which is often the root of all evil - especially when we are unable to bring back our all brainstorm sessions, thoughts and collected feedback into few, clear and defining statements: they have to be simple, straight-forward and solution agnostic; they need to be functional, emotional or social, depending on the kind of need we're trying to address. Failing to properly understand the questions that truly define the overall meaning of our product will make us unable to identify the answers, let alone being able to execute (or produce) anything. That was the whole point of Rads talk, and I definitely think he nailed it down.

The talk also hosted a couple practical individual and group workshops: in the former one, the attendees were asked to produce effective statements; in the latter, they had to collectively come out with some credible "product ideas" that could match against the social network's mother-of-all-questions: how to connect people sharing common interests? The answers given by the various brainstorming groups were actually rather funny: it definitely seems we're going to see a whole lot of next-level, predictive & cognitively adaptive tagging system in the near future! Jokes aside, it truly was an interesting and insightful talk, which smoothly led us to the greetings phase...

Conclusion

... Where we were (literally) struck by the annouced selfie lottery! Where the Developer Circles Rome admins joyfully hurled some t-shirts to the winners. And that's basically about it. At the end of the day I enjoyed this bootcamp a lot, thanks to the many valuable talks and insights that addressed a rather complex topic - the mindset bridge between being a Developer and becoming a CTO - with a fresh, innovative approach. Thanks a lot to Codemotion for hosting the course, I'll do my best to be there for the next bootcamps as well!

Connectivity and network technologies of IoT

Availability and system advances:

Time for a gander at the Internet of Things network angle. Keeping in mind the end goal to transmit information amongst gadgets and from gadgets to stages, the cloud or some other goal, organize innovations are required.

In a few applications, for example in savvy home arrangements, this is moderately simple as there are a few general and a few exclusive availability arrangements in regularly rather straightforward utilize cases.

Availability is customarily isolated into answers for PAN (Personal Area Network), LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network), MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) and (less) in NAN (Neighborhood Area Network).

Gli italiani sono tra i relatori più veloci del pianeta, parlando al ritmo di fino a nove sillabe al secondo. I tedeschi, dualmente, sono tra i più lenti, pronunciando da cinque a sei sillabe nello stesso lasso di tempo. Eppure, in un dato minuto, italiani e tedeschi trasmettono all'incirca la stessa quantità di informazioni!

Questo perché un recente studio ha dimostrato come, indipendentemente dalla velocità con cui si comunica verbalmente, le persone tendono a trasmettere informazioni alla stessa velocità: 39 bit al secondo, circa il doppio della velocità del codice Morse.

From Developer to CTO - Tech Leadership Training Bootcamp by Codemotion - Day 1

Today I was pleased to attend to the "From Developer to CTO" Bootcamp, the final phase of the Tech Leadership Training Course: an online program promoted by Facebook Developer Circles in partnership with Codemotion and designed to help developers in their journey to become Chief Technical Officers by combining strong interpersonal, influential and technical skills. Here's a quick breakdown of the previous modules: Module 1: Defining the CTO Role, focused on defining the role of CTOs by touching their main responsibilities and challenges. Module 2: AI/Machine Learning, dedicated to some strategic approaches to use this technology to create real innovation for a startup or company, and also focused on giving suggestions to the CTO to correctly introduce a new technology in a company. Module 3: Software Architecture/DevOps, based upon the concept of scaling and the analysis / review of the DevOps methodology, a modern and versatile full-stack approach that can be used to effectively deal with such problems. The bootcamp, being the final phase of the course, is meant to be a unique opportunity to summarize and empower the knowledge about the topics covered in the previous three modules by gaining valuable insights from a highly experienced group of Codemotion and Facebook experts.

The place

The bootcamp is a 2-days event hosted by Codemotion by the LUISS EnLabs & LVenture Group venues in Rome, Italy.

LUISS EnLabs, also known as "The Startup Factory", is one of the leading startup accelerators in Europe. It was established in 2013 as a joint venture between LVenture Group - a venture capital operator listed on the Stock Exchange - and LUISS Guido Carli University, and in just a few years it has accelerated over 60 startups. Twice a year LUISS EnLabs selects them for its Acceleration Programs and also organizes Open Innovation Programs to bring corporates into the world of innovation.

Thanks to the support of its network of investors, corporates and institutions - including LUISS University - and its partners Wind Tre, BNL Gruppo BNP Paribas, Accenture and Sara Assicurazioni, LUISS EnLabs has grown into a real point of reference for innovation in Italy.

The Program - First Day

8:20: check in opening 9:00: Opening by Facebook 9:10: Opening by Codemotion 9:15: Talk by Codemotion: Data-Driven Decision especially in the CTO perspective, Andrea Saltarello, CTO @Managed Designs 10:30-10:40: Small Break 10:40: Talk by Codemotion: Business / financial management, Andrea Saltarello, CTO @Managed Designs 12:15: Talk by Codemotion: Tech Team Management (pt.1), Antony Mistretta, Founder @Inglorious Coderz 13:15-14:00: Lunch break 14.00-16.30: Talk by Codemotion: Tech Team Management (pt. 2), Antony Mistretta, Founder @Inglorious Coderz All the talks have been held in english language.

Openings

The Bootcamp started with a brief talk of Mara Marzocchi, co-founder and Codemotion and operating as Chief Content Officer since 2011. She briefly reviewed the daily program and explained the attendees a series of info related to the overall course and the Codemotion roadmap for the upcoming months - which will eventually lead to Codemotion Milan 2019, the largest italian Tech Conference (October 24-25, 2019).

It was then the turn of Willie Elamien, Facebook Product Partnership Program Manager, which explained what Facebook Developer Circles actually is: a brand-new Facebook project aiming to create an international community made from local developer groups in the various parts of the globe and connect them with startups and companies looking for developers, tech leaders and CTOs.

The main idea of Developer Circles revolves consists in helping their members to collaborate, learn, and code in the following ways: Connect with other developers: Access an exclusive local Facebook Group community and attend meetups near you. Engage with local experts: Each community is organized and run by local developer Leads. Learn about new tech: Learn about Bots, AI, IoT, React and other tools. Build with other developers: Collaborate with developers of all types using the local communities and meetups. For additional info, you can visit the Facebook Developer Circles Presentation Video or just take a look to the official program page.

Data-Driven Decisions from the CTO perspective

The third talk was hosted by Andrea Saltarello, CTO at Managed Designs, Microsoft Regional Directors member and successful IT enterpreneur. During his long (~ 3 hours) attendance, he did a great job by bringing a lot of very interesting topics to the table. He started defining the main aspects that helps defining a good CTO: relying to data-driven decision instead of gut feeling; acting as a translation layer between business expectations and technicians,  people vs strict way of thinking; being able to calculate how much amount you can afford to invest in knowledge in order to avoid the potential losses coming from innovations and breaking changes you might miss otherwise; being able to communicate with colleagues and employees and also enforce communication between layers; countinuosly sharing feedbacks, as opposed as keeping everyone in the dark.

He clearly explained how all these concepts, if properly embodied by a competent CTO, could help him in to match what company needs with what the employees - and the customers - like the most. He also introduced us to feenpal, a web-based e-invoicing SaaS he's currently working with, to make real-life examples of the decision-making tasks that a CEO has to perform when he's in charge of defining the launch of a new IT product. He explained how to rely with the other executive partners - the CEO, the CIO, the marketing manager and so on: once again, communication and knowledge sharing was the ultime key to success. He emphasized this concept a lot, and I think he pretty much nailed it: despite being obvious, most companies and startups just don't have it in their DNA, thus being unable to properly design and/or succesfully launch a new project.

It definitely was a great session, with a lot of valuable concepts to learn. I really liked the fact that most of the info transmitted by Andrea perfectly applies to any scenario - including the PMI-based Italian one - since most of these talks tend to give advices that are only fit for international companies.

Business & Financial Management

After a small coffee break, Andrea got the microphone back to talk about Business & Financial Management from a CTO perspective, consisting in a rather versatile and heterogeneous set of skills such as: planning the activities ahead, thus avoiding task switching; being able to handle the various aspects of the business plan, such as: anaging assets, evaluating the budget, being able to assess and prevent the risks, considering the change management costs and evaluate the gains & losses of present and future activities; being able to properly calculate the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) using timesheets, GANTT and all the available data.

Again, the data-driven decision approach was granted a major role here.

Tech Team Management

Right after Andrea came the turn of Matteo Anthony Mistretta, the founder of Inglorious Coderz, who hosted a two-parts talk (before and after the lunch break) about Tech Team Management. I have to say that I literally loved his talk: during my 15 years of life spent as a lead developer, I can say I have experienced first-hand most - if not all - the scenarios, and samples that Matteo mentioned during his speech... and, most importantly, I approached them in the same way and reached the same conclusions - and, luckily enough, mostly achieved the same goals. That talk was almost a deja vu to me - to the point that I think I could also be an inglorious coder myself!

Jokes aside, Matteo made a terrific job explaining what being a Tech Team Manager actually means by making use of an enticing example-driven storytelling that encompassed the latest 20 years - roughly from the 2000s to the current days. Practical technical leading; the importance of communicating with the management - by properly "translating" the technical terms - and to push developers to do that as well; being a a leader, not a boss; the irreplaceable role of the metrics: pertinence, customizability, innovation, freshness and application, for the technologies; architertural skills, PM skills and trasversal skills, for developers; satisfaction and happiness, for the stakeholders; speed, cost, coverage and quality, for the actual development phase. Marco introduced and explained all of these concepts with an unique, passionate approach that could only come from the heart of someone who actually did that for a good part of his life, and the audience immediately got that.

The bootcamp lunch box: two big sandwitches, an Oreo pack and free water & coke! In the second part of the talk, he switched to Agile topics and introduced some key concepts of eXtreme Programming (XP), a development methodology that emphasizes  software quality and code responsiveness by making and extensive use of some proven good coding practices, such as: measurable, understandable Values; Test-Driven Development; Pair Programming; steady develoment speed; frequent iterations; constant refactoring (to keep the complexity constantly low while adding new features); and so on. He then explained his views regarding how to be a good Project Manager: planning, coordinating activities (and assigning them properly), keeping track  of what goes on (with timesheet and gantt), adapting to changes, driving communication, and - yet again - feedbacks. He then did the same with the key functions of a good Team Leader: assign responsibilities, making people grow, empowering people, leading by example, motivating.

Last, but not least, he talked about licensing management, first from the "buyer" and then from the "seller" point of view. He did his best to explain the differences between open-source and closed-source software, full packaged products (FPP), original equipment manufacturer (OEM), commercial use vs proprietary use, volume licensing, and so on. Truth to be told, this was perhaps the least intere spot of the whole talk - mostly because the previous topics were a blaze!

Conclusion

This was definitely a great bootcamp: the speakers did their best to give invualuable insights. I can only imagine how beneficial such "summary" would be for a young developer: I really wish I had these kind of stuff available when I started coding myself :) Can't wait for the next part!   Read the full article
