AALA Seminar #1
Creating Unique Advantages for Startups
10:00 – 11:30 AM, Saturday, January 16 2021
| Theme: |
Creating Unique Advantages for Startups
Every product begins with an idea, and the path by which those ideas turn into impactful technologies in our society is often convoluted. But one thing is constant: impactful technologies have a disruptive component, with the unique potential to change the status quo. Often the best opportunities are found at the boundaries between traditional fields. In running startups, many founders would think about business model, domain knowledge, experience, technologies and products as unique advantages for startups. However, few of them really spend time on other critical elements, such as start-up motivation, company culture, core team, performance driven system (incentives and accountability), cash flow and execution. You will learn: • examples of creating unique advantages during the journey of commercializing wide-ranging tools from a single technology stack • ideas and mental models for developing and using advantages for the upcoming technology landscape • critical elements in startup |

U.S., China and Chinese Americans: A human Bridge for Better Bilateral Relations
The U.S. and China have become economically interdependent and yet have deep political and cultural differences that cause each nation’s leaders to think less about “constructive engagement” and more and more about “strategic competition and conflict.” Chinese Americans, especially those of the first generation immigrants who were born and educated in China, are inevitably affected by – and themselves can affect — these bilateral relationships. You will learn: • the current and foreseeable state of the U.S.-China relationship • some of the ways that Chinese Americans can themselves play a more active role in the improvement of that relationship at the local, county, state and national levels |
