This means that when you as an entrepreneur go to discuss about your opportunities in getting funding for projects. You get loaded with vague instructions and terminology which may not be too familiar to you. This is understandable because, as neutral official the Tekes employee can not advice you too much in detail in order not to give too much advantage for one specific company. This has led to a situation where the entrepreneur is sometimes left with more questions than answers.

There are some things in this world that will never be forgotten, this week’s 40th anniversary of the moon landing for one. But Moore’s Law and our ever-increasing quest for simpler, smaller, faster and better widgets and thingamabobs will always ensure that some of the technology we grew up with will not be passed down the line to the next generation of geeks.

"While some of this may change — e.g., there are rumors about Apple partnering with other carriers, and the company is halfheartedly supporting browsers other than Safari — substantial negative equity has been built up. Mark my words: Lower-cost competition, spawned by Google, will emerge if Apple doesn’t aggressively open its platforms.

"Before there is an epidemic of Ménière’s in the venture capital community, I am trying to evangelize the 10/20/30 Rule of PowerPoint. It’s quite simple: a PowerPoint presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points. While I’m in the venture capital business, this rule is applicable for any presentation to reach agreement: for example, raising capital, making a sale, forming a partnership, etc.
…
The ten topics that a venture capitalist cares about are:1. Problem
2. Your solution
3. Business model
4. Underlying magic/technology

8. Projections and milestones
9. Status and timeline
10. Summary and call to action

Do read the article, I think the point is valid for other presentations, too. -
"Just make it up.
Yep. As some high profile product says, just do it.
This is surprisingly easy, but there is a dependency. You need information. You need to understand what you are trying to achieve, what users of the service need and know, and you need to know the content well. If you don’t have these things, it will be hard. But if you do have them, pulling them together into a first draft is surprisingly easy."

"Nonetheless, it’s easy enough to make sure our pages are legible to anyone with color vision impairment.
