More accurately  a Paper  "line" by my  nieces, They  designed them, cut and shaped and put together  using mom's tape and every  magazine and coupon  in their house! LOL Look  at teh Pose and teh shots... You know wht their favorite show is  "America's next top model!

Will we get solutions that help locals sell @Dwolla & @Etsy join up for #NYC’s first @EcommerceHackNY #EHD | @VentureBeat

Media_httpventurebeat_tqbtd

I'm getting ready for Ecommerce Hack Day,, which means I won't sleep tonight (due to teh Phagwa party which ends at 4am) as well as Tomorrow night ( it's a sleep over hack) i'll be honest i was seriously considering NOt attending! The reason... hacks are fun way to flex your tech muscles but I had been commenting on how many great ideas, that could help society were left abandoned... such a shame! Then I came across this venture beat article and Alex's comment ... see my response below.

But I really eliev that a great team shoul include back end developers, Front end developers, Individuals who know the niche , a professional Business consultant/ and or a brand consultant!

And along the way everyone should be asking "where's the money at?" , since the revenue model will ultimately shape the business model and the tech development!

comment
I'm going tomorrow but PRAYING this Hack is about developing solutions! The reason Most hacks do NOT go further is that while many hackers may "know the difference between binary, base64, and JSON, and can make AJAX calls" they do not know the sector they are hacking in this case "sales", and bringing Sales online is about more than product organization and a cash register! Many never have had any experience selling! But Hackers are "Artist" of code and like most artist are Not really interested in the day to day running of a business so their winning hacks are left abandoned... check the hacks from MusicHack Day, Photohack day and videohack days in NY. Secondly even though the ideas may be great and the hackers may mean well on the day of the hack, however there is no post event structure to see potentially great hacks develop... We won Best Use of An ApI at Fashion Hack Day NY with an idea I know stylist can use, Good luck trying getting the members of an adhock team to communicate after a week! I'm attending tomorrows hack... I know selling and sales in my niche: businesses need ecommerce solutions that work, I've tested several ideas around ecommerce in the field yet... hacks are about coding and successful business needs more than good code!

Making Tech sexy- Design is what I do- even if it means designing change!

Design_improve

 

Tech BKstyle! I have to make tech  SEXY! ... I'm  sitting trying to figure out how to  communicate the design  process and what  makes for a successful product, to  someone who insist they have a "winning" idea. I am reminded of my  fashion design process!  sign up Http://tuberiam.tibiaetech.com 

I'm charged with  bringing tech to  my community... not the Facebook stuff but encouraging local businesses to embrace technology as a solution "addressing need or even more demanding to "disrupt their industry , niche sector!

Tibia Tech Inc is a NY based tech startup that  is in the business of change management addressing the glaring problem of lack of minority-owned businesses in today’s tech sector and the adoption of technology in today’s business culture, We provide a support system that is unprecedented ... and needed  

  •  
    • Space -

 

o Technology

o Funding & Financing-

o Education- Technical Training Programs & Development of Skill Sets

o Business & Resource Development & Procurement-

o Media, Marketing & Communication and distribution experts


 

 

More importantly we  encourage the establishment of startups... "change the ratio" the urban version! Already  we're facing "I have a brilliant idea I just need a developer!  The ideas are great and more importantly truly needed!

Yet as each plan is presented... I see blatant holes in the business model, strategy design, user interface ... mainly  from lack of knowledge!

My partner said it simply, "you have to make it sexy  for our people!" 

What? 

They want the "Matrix" meets the "Minority Report"... and he is not off track. Few want to do the research, investigate, challenge and INNOVATE! 

So as I'm  sitting trying to figure out how to  communicate the design  process and what  makes for a successful product  to  someone who insist they have a "winning" idea. I am reminded of my  fashion design process! I Have to make tech  SEXY!

I  use several design techniques but eventually  before they  hit the shelf they must be redesigned from an  art perspective to a consumer product focus! I usually use  the  educate, Investigate, brainstorm  leave to simmer then design from "inspiration". The fact  is in that  process "inspiration is a carefully  induced process! 

In the image above I  sat  through several  free-form jazz jams in the late 1999 at  Palm Court  and as my  friend improvised I  let my  hands "move. In 2002 I  took those sketches and executed these garments that were shown at Harlem Fashion Week in  2003!

ABOUT  TIBIAE TECH

We're presently Working onm the Tibiae tech  concept and language.. The  Space will launch in September and we are currently  identifying and working  with our first  stratups!

Tibiae Tech Solutions provides technology, funding , mentorship, incubation, marketing and distribution to enable experts in niche local micro sectors who answer the question  “what would you do with technology if you could?” to access and develop technologies, focused on scalable next generation concepts!

Tibiae Tech brings the Silicon Culture into local neighborhoods  as a start-up designed specifically to facilitate the adoption, adaptation and creation of new and emerging  technology by and for local entrepreneurs!  Tibiae Tech seeks to help local experts make culturally relevant and successful transitions to the inevitable tech powered "solution" within their niche and thus proactively create effective solutions. Tibiae tech’s mission is focused on shifting  the economic decline  in urban  communities into thriving businesses that can compete in today’s emerging high-growth marketplace. As opposed to the usual one-level approach, Tibiae Tech will employ a multi- pronged strategy utilizing the comprehensive resources to develop, nurture and support a successful small business.

Tibia Tech is in the business of change management addressing the glaring problem of lack of minority-owned businesses in today’s tech sector and the adoption of technology in today’s business culture. By proving space, pools of resources and making them accessible, we can jump-start these businesses. We first conceptualized an “irrigation” system that would funnel resources to urban tech  start-ups, as well as an  incubator with relevant  mentorship, training and support. Founders also noted that we we would not only need an  incubator and an accelerator but we would have to develop a  “hatchery” and started brainstorming the challenge of fostering new ideas.  The fact is fact we need to  create a pollination and fertilization  process before we can incubate... Distribution needed to be supported by offline and online venues connected and integrated seamlessly across digital platforms and so the Tuberiam was designed.  We opted for the co-working model.

in order to fulfill the small business needs, Tibiae Tech has to create the resources/ thus experts in each discipline are coming together to provide their expertise and creating  a culturally  sensitive  programing and resource solutions. That introduces new concepts in Business as well as new and elerging technologies ad encorages exploration ad testing  theories through to concept and product development! the challeng e of support  staff ad their technical training will also be addressed!  

To facilitate this a comprehensive funding and financing  protocol  will be put in place! Tibia Tech believes that a  comprehensive approach will create the  necessary traction  needed to  push ahead.  

Tibia Tech  July  1st  we begin  p[rparing  the core members with a soft  launch with a target  date of September for a permanent location

Difference Between A Startup And A Small Business

“both are exactly the same, except how the owner thinks about their business. A small business owner is focused on doing it tough for a number of years and hoping they can make it as a business. However a startup thinks big, they dream of their application/product or service being used by millions around the world and funded by VC’s and that is how they direct their business. Small business owners think about doing things slowly and building their business over time.
