What is the MVS Approach? The Minimum Viable Start-up (MVS) is a custom
program developed by Roger Rappoport of Procopio, Brant Cooper (author of
The Lean Entrepreneur) and Johnny Chan of eBoost Consulting, to help
entrepreneurs take the leap from viable product to viable start-up and,
along the way, avoid the most common mistakes made by entrepreneurs, which
invariably leads to the same result—less upside for the founders on exit.
This full-day workshop is an intensive, immersive and experiential event.
Using examples drawn from their own experience at developing start-ups,
Brant, Roger, Johnny and guest presenter, Efrat Kasznik, simplify the
complexity of taking an idea from product to start-up, and navigating the
obstacles along the road. At the end of the workshop, you will have new
insight into how to set a start-up on a path for success.
Cost to attend is $170 and includes substantive program materials.

China, the Internet & Your Business: Navigating Deals in the World’s
Largest and Most Complicated Internet Market Leading domestic internet
players in China are looking at overseas business opportunities, joint
ventures and acquisitions with U.S.- based companies. Ever more tech and
non-tech U.S. companries are operating within the Chinese internet space.
These in-bound and out-bound opportunities are rapidly growing and the
business risks and regulatory hurdles are significant. Limitations on
foreign investment and repatriation of profits and problems with IP
protection, data privacy and censorship present very real obstacles that
have tripped up even the most sophisticated companies.
Our esteemed panel, featuring Jim DeGraw and Paul Boltz, Partners from
Ropes & Gray, and Matt Levy of 55 Star Ventures, will examine and offer
practical tips for U.S. companies in different sectors to successfully
navigate the issues.

The automotive industry is embracing mobile apps as the automobile turns
into the ultimate mobile device. At the same time, mobile apps for the car
can’t just be copied from smartphones and tablets if the goal is to create
valuable customer experiences that are non-distractive.
Also, rather than saying “there is an app for that”, automotive companies
must ask the question “should there be an app for that?”
The panel will discuss what is needed to succeed with mobile apps in
automobiles. How automakers are working with internal and external app
developers and how third-party companies can best address the automotive
industry’s needs.
