2024 Hmong Entrepreneur Conference is a strategic investment in tomorrow's innovators. We believe that fostering entrepreneurial thinking begins early, and this year's event welcomes participants of all ages. Here’s why your presence – regardless of your current entrepreneurial stage – is vital: Planting the Seeds of Innovation: By inviting parents and their children, we create a space where young minds can be inspired by real-world problem-solving and witness the power of creativity in action. Your participation fosters the spark of entrepreneurial spirit in the next generation. Building a Connected Ecosystem: Established business owners, professionals, and entrepreneurs, your expertise is invaluable. Share your hard-earned knowledge, connect with potential future talent, and become a mentor who guides and inspires aspiring minds. Fostering Cross-Generational Collaboration: We believe in the power of diverse perspectives. By bridging the generational gap, we create a dynamic environment where seasoned veterans can share their wisdom and young innovators can challenge the status quo, fueling collective progress. Your attendance, at any level, contributes to creating an ecosystem where entrepreneurial spirit flourishes and future generations of trailblazers emerge.

In tomorrow’s debate article in Dagens Industri, we show ways to enhance entrepreneur support. The Nordic Angels platform, incorporating events, data tools, and networking features, aims to streamline communication and collaboration between angel investors. By actively involving politicians and stakeholders, the platform advocates for supportive policies, creating an environment for entrepreneurial growth. With events as networking hubs and data tools for informed decisions, the Nordic Angels platform stands as a comprehensive solution to drive positive change in the entrepreneurial landscape.

Congratulations to Daniel Hame on the successful completion of his Ph.D. journey! 🥂 Daniel has developed the Entrepreneurial Resource Orchestration Capability scale (EROC), which assesses an entrepreneur's ability to effectively utilize the available resources within an entrepreneurial ecosystem. Entrepreneurial ecosystems, which consist of interconnected actors, institutions, and resources, play a crucial role in fostering innovation and enabling entrepreneurial ventures to thrive. By surveying ~600 individuals Daniel found that EROC can provide the new venture with a competitive advantage. The effect is especially pronounced when the new venture has an analog business model (compared to a venture with a digital business model). Digital artifacts alter the effective use of EROC since its idiosyncratic characteristics alter the need for resource orchestration. Once again, congratulations on reaching this milestone! ☘

Two years ago I started an investment company with my entrepreneurial friends. One name on your cap table - granting you access to 123 smart entrepreneurs and their expansive network. Our setup is quite unique. The process is 100% digital, democratic and fast: First, founders send us a pitch deck which gets posted to our internal Slack. Then we ask our partners to indicate with emojis 👍 / 👎 if the case is interesting. Within a couple of days we will know if it is worth scheduling a video call (recorded). Those of us who can't make it to the presentation can watch it afterwards, because after all: we all have our own businesses to run. A 7 day voting period starts immediately after the pitch. Here we ask our partners to decide if we should invest or not via a simple web form. There will be an investment if a supermajority of our partners are in favor (more than two thirds, 66.67%). It might sound crazy, but it works! So far we've looked at 100+ Swedish startups and we have invested in 16 companies in 20 months (?!). Which is a pretty high number for being unknown and in stealth mode. Our strength lies in our numbers. We are 123 entrepreneurs spread across almost all industries, meaning there is a high chance we always have something more to offer than just money. It could be introductions to potential customers, suppliers, investors and also invaluable advice - based on our own experiences. I strongly believe we can become a strong player in the Swedish startup ecosystem; someone that entrepreneurs turns to first - because we understand what they are going through (on a deeper level). My personal motivation is to create as many good business angels in Sweden as possible and this investment vehicle is perfect for that. I think volume is important in order to succeed. We have a great deal flow already. We learn together, while helping other founders fulfil their dreams - and hopefully turn a profit. Win-win-win! We just hosted our first Portfolio Day (see video) and we just launched our website where you can learn more: https://yeos.ventures/
