The students met for a two-part workshop, beginning with a session called The Startup Game in which they learned about the differences between a startup company and a business, the structure and incentives of venture capital funds, and the implications of these definitions. The second part of the workshop, Validation & Filtering, addressed the question of how to determine whether an idea can become a startup, and what to do next.
The speaker, Danny Leshem, is a technology entrepreneur and venture capital investor. He co-founded two companies – Kidaro, a company that developed endpoint management systems for large organizations (sold to Microsoft in 2008), and OpenRest, a company that developed online ordering systems for restaurants (sold to Wix in 2014). Today, Danny is an angle investor in diverse startup companies and a co-founder of the INT3 venture capital fund. He helps his portfolio companies develop go-to-market strategies, raise funds, build teams, create products, and more.
