Off to Part II of Milestones to Success this morning.  Great content and riiPlay.tv has won two elevator pitch contests in a row, fundfindr Development Director Kevin McLeod shares more below and he scored the first win, so let’s go for the hat trick!   More here.

Enter Roger Killen, a respected entrepreneur and angel investor.  He has developed a two day seminar series designed to give entrepreneurs a real-world, time-tested and trusted approach to launching a business destined for success - just what investors are looking for.

Milestones to Success: The SME Seminar Series

Having just gone through the seminars myself, I can attest to it’s value.  Too many great ideas die on the vine.  The reasons for this are always convoluted when explained by founders but very simple when observed through the eyes of Roger’s Milestones.  Either the entrepreneur missed one or more of the Milestones or they were done out of order.  Experienced investors look for these warning signs and steer clear of investing in disarrayed businesses - even if the idea looks like a winner on the surface.

The 16 module blueprint is delivered by Roger and numerous subject matter experts.  Along with these great contacts, you get a reference manual full of information specifically for BC start-ups.  Using these resources in the manner and order that Roger has described will ensure you are successful.  It’s only $99 per seminar.  If you’re interested in attending, check out this PDF .

Entrepreneurship is a long journey; the Milestones to Success are your map!

fundfindr.tv recently had the pleasure of capturing Technology Legend Mossadiq Umedaly in video on behalf of Vancouver Enterprise Forum.  Well worth a riiplay if you attended or just wish to gain insights on pathways to success.

Here is the backgrounder from VEF: Mossadiq is used to doing things big. At Ballard he helped to grow the company value from $10 million to $6 billion. At Xantrex he transformed the company from a small niche player to a world leader in advanced power electronics, with revenues growing from $10 million to $234 million when it was sold to Schneider Electric for $500 million this September. With Jeff Petersen as moderator for our “fireside chat”, he and Mossadiq will talk about the challenges both Ballard and Xantrex faced from their early days through their successful IPOs, Mossadiq’s advice on growing a small company into a major success, his views on strategic partnerships and the evolving alternative energy sector gained as Chair of BC Hydro.
