Meet the Innovation Scout: Gregory Diette Gregory Diette joined The FutureList as a Boston Innovation Scout. Gregory graduated from Tufts University and has a special interest in green tech startups. In this video, Gregory talks about his journey as an Innovation Scout for The FutureList and what he looks out for when scouting for innovative startups. "My goal as an Innovation Scout is to identify small companies that are in the very early stages of development. It can be challenging to find them, but once I do, I can shine a big spotlight on them. We have a massive platform at The FutureList, and when I identify companies that excite me, regardless of their size, my goal is to give them as much exposure as possible and help them achieve their goals." #innovation #global #boston #thefuturelist #future #tech #technology #network

We have been working with sports tech startups for the past 10 years. Now in the past few years we have seen the emergence of a new “buzz” word among some sports tech startups. This new buzz word is “Premium”. In this analysis we will discuss this in greater details and talk about the implications and where some startups should be a bit careful with such strategy especially as they are trying to sign new team customers.

What does this selection tell us about the evolution of the innovation market? What disruptive innovations are emerging? Find out her answers. ⬇️ 🔜 Mark your calendars for January 15th to discover the selected projects, which will be unveiled during our Launch Day!

Latitude59 - this time I was more prepared. In January I took part of sTARTUp Day to see what the event was about. I learned that in order to gain more from these events I need to be better prepared. What did I do differently at Latitude59 startup event? - I prepared a proper pitch about my business - Rentster - I knew what questions the investors would ask and prepared the answers - I was more precise with what I was asking for from the investors - I observed their reactions to see if what I asked for would be realistic - I will definitely follow up the connections I made What did I learn? - Rentster is interesting to many investors and people in the startup field - When I’m more specific and confident with what I want to achieve the better it is perceived - I met many potential cooperation partners from other startups now it’s time to follow up. Did you go to Latitude59? What are your learnings? Tomáš Halász Jüri Siilivask  ----------------------- 👉 We help to automate your physical spaces, vehicles, and rental management.
