At ProductCamp 2016

My ICE talk made the "cut to 20" hurdle on Saturday.  There were initially about 25 people in the session which seems like good interest in the topic.  With the state of the webBook as it is my hope was to get input on the partner/portal concept for the startup ecosystem and to identify specific partners and portals.  The audience wasn't quite ready for this.  The expectation was a more complete rendering with examples.  Also I had hope to identify innovation portals to the ecosystem.  Again not ready for that.  Takeaway is that there is good interest in the topic.  My hope is to flesh this out more and provide higher value at ProductCamp next year.

ICE at ProductCamp Cincinnati 2016

I have proposed a talk for ProductCamp Cincinnati 2016.  First I will test the concept of startup ecosystem Partners and Portals and see if we can identify specific examples of each.  Then we will talk about startup success lying at the intersection of Innovation, Commercialization, and Entrepreneurship (ICE) and look for "innovation" entry points into the ecosystem.  It will be interesting to see if there are others interested in these topics.
