Interesting to look back at the successful Cassini Entrepreneur Days in Prague (June 3rd and June 4th). The event was very dynamic with lots of opportunities to engage with the different startups. Overall, there was a list of 85 startups. One way of looking at them is their focus: from positioning + navigation to observation + analysis.
From this perspective it is clear that there is a lot of startup activity in the sector of observation and analysis. This covers the processing of data from satellites and any other airborne platforms and combine this data source with other sources to extract relevant actionable data.
After covering the distribution of startups, we analyzed the dual-use content of the different categories. The analysis is based on the description of the startups as well as a first level analysis of the market. Per category the graph presents the average dual-use % [as compared to the commercial value of the product or service]. No surprise to note the high dual-use % (>50%) for the different drone and drone components (including software) category.
We’re excited to announce our new deep-tech fundraising project for Innoseis Sensor Technologies! Innoseis Sensor Technologies is developing the next generation of innovative sensing products, offering the smallest, lightest, and most power-efficient motion sensors available today.
The path to innovation is laden with unique and often substantial cost drivers that set these ventures apart from their more conventional counterparts. To handle these costs effectively, you need to understand them clearly and plan your finances and resources carefully.
At a later stage we will provide a series of postings on how to build and maintain your company’s dashboard. Most importantly, we cover how to use it. The most eloquent dashboard does no good if it is not properly used.
As a Management Team, you need to make the dashboard the central point of engagement.
