Open Data - What are ?
da Wikipedia

Con Dati aperti, comunemente chiamati con il
termine inglese Open Data anche nel contesto italiano, si fa
riferimento ad una filosofia, che è al tempo stesso una pratica.
Essa implica che alcune tipologie di dati siano liberamente
accessibili a tutti, senza restrizioni di copyright, brevetti o altre
forme di controllo che ne limitino la riproduzione.

Open Data Startup

Open Data - What are ?
in pratica

Open Data propone un modello di valorizzazione del
patrimonio informativo pubblico basato sulla possibilità di usare
i dati aperti per creare nuovi servizi e nuovi strumenti.

Open Data Startup

Open Data is a matter of:
Prezzi
I beni digitali: non rivali, costo di distribuzione/
riproduzione basso.
Recupero dei costi VS distribuzione al costo
marginale.

Licenze
OKF (Open Knowledge Foundation)
CC (Creative Commons)
! possibilità di riuso a fini commerciali.

Formati e Tecnologie ...
Open Data Startup

Open Data - Formats
Rendere disponibili i dati sul WEB in qualunque
formato, utilizzando una licenza aperta.

Rendere disponibili i dati sul WEB in formato
leggibile dalle macchine (CSV, XLS...)

Utilizzare formati non proprietari.

Utilizzare lo standard RDF

Dati in formato RDF linkati fra di loro
(Linked RDF DATA)
Open Data Startup

Open Data in the world
La mia amministrazione è impegnata a creare un livello
di apertura senza precedenti nella gestione del Governo.
Lavoreremo insieme per accrescere la fiducia del
pubblico e per creare un sistema basato sulla
trasparenza, la partecipazione e la collaborazione.
Questa apertura rafforzerà la nostra democrazia e
promuoverà l'efficenza e l'efficacia nel nostro Governo.

Transparency and Open Government Memorandum for the
Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies (2009)

"People are tempted to keep it [data]. You hug your
database, you don't want to let it go until you've made
a beautiful website for it. Well I'd like to suggest that,
yes, make a beautiful website, who am I to say don't
make a beautiful website? Make a beautiful website,
but first, give us the unadulterated data, we want the
data, we want unadulterated data. We have to ask
for raw data now."

Open Data in Piedmont
Portale Dati Piemonte VS portale del territorio piemontese.

Dati Piemonte e ANCI:

Dati Piemonte e altre regioni: riuso della piattaforma.

Dati Piemonte VS federazione.

Open Data Startup

Open by default...
Ma cosa ci posso fare con un dato?

Te lo dice la licenza...
Licenze standard CC0 (libera e gratuita consultazione,
estrazione, riproduzione e modifica dei dati, da parte di
chiunque, per qualunque fine).

209 Dati licenziati in CC0

... e visto che su alcuni si è tenuti a citare la fonte

90 Dataset licenziati in CC-BY
Open Data Startup

Un po’ di numeri:
217 Dati Alfanumerici scaricabili

66 Dati Geografici scaricabili

92 Schede metadato
(pronti per diventare nuovi dataset)

Classificati sui seguenti
argomenti:

Open Data - Why ?
in un momento in cui la fiducia nella politica
è ai minimi storici

un buon modo per
provare a fare
“engagement” dei
cittadini è la

Open Data
aiuta la
TRASPARENZA

Open Data Startup

Who produce Open Data ?
Il settore pubblico possiede e gestisce grandi quantità di
dati rinnovabili il cui valore app. è 27 Miliardi di €
(MEPSIR Report - Measuring European Public Sector
Resources, 2006).

La PSI può essere un
primo grande fornitore di
Open Data.

Il settore privato
potrebbe però diventare
il maggior produttore di
Open Data se ne
percepisse il giusto
valore.

Open Data - Benefits
Trasparenza

Efficienza

Concorrenza

Innovazione
Open Data Startup

Open Data - Challenges
“Invogliare” la Pubblica Amministrazione a rendere
i propri dati disponibili.

LeCommunity (e start-ups) dovrebbero aggiungere
business model e innovazione.
Serendipity:
L’innovazione è spesso generata dall’uso inaspettato di dati!

Problemi
Trovare nuovi dataset di dati
“Fondere” e “linkare” dati e dataset (possibilmente on-the-fly).

Open Data Startup

Data As A Service
I datinon sono più "chiusi" nelle applicazioni...
... ma consumati on-demand come un qualsiasi altro tipo di
servizio.
RESTful: accedere ai dati come si accede ad una risorsa web:
tramite URL.

Open Data Startup

LINKED Open Data
Principi base:
Le cose hanno un nome (persone, città, aziende).

Ogni nome inizia con http://

Rappresentare i dati come un RDF
(Resource Description Framework is a W3C standard).

Open Data Startup

How to Pitch a VC

Dave McClure, Founders Fund,
Master of 500 Hats blogs
@DaveMcClure on Twitter
http://500startups.com/


Essential Elements of a Hot
VC Pitch
• Love in an Elevator (30-second quick pitch)
• The Money Shot (live demo, screen shots, video)
• Size Matters (market size, bottom up / top down)
• Nice Package (customer$, metric$ UP & to the RIGHT)
• Superheros & Rock Stars (your team)

* note: the above are teaser images… they don’t really mean anything; they’re just here to capture your attention.


10 Erogenous VC Zones

The Money Shot: Business
Demo Metrics Cu$tomer
Screen Shots (NOT Revenue Testimonial$
Video Projections)


1. The Elevator Pitch
The 30-second quickie, for when you don’t have
time for lots of VC lovin’

• Short, Simple, Memorable: “What, How, Why.”
– “We’re X for Y” is ok if 1) it’s true 2) X & Y are well-known
• Max 3 key words / phrases, 2 sentences.
– “SlideShare is the world’s largest community for sharing presentations.
– “TeachStreet is a place to teach or learn anything.”
– “Mint.com is the free, easy way to manage your money online.”

• Logo and/or Image ok
• No “Inside Baseball” lingo
– make it easy for non-experts to understand.
• Smile. It’s ok to have fun when you pitch !


2. The Problem

• What is The Problem? Make it Obvious.
– “Ouch. Yeah, I have that too…”

• Who has it? How Many? How do you know?
– stats, examples, research, links.

• “Painkiller not Vitamin”
– Vitamins are great, but you NEED painkillers. BAD.

(note: Viagra is not a Vitamin)


3. Your Solution

Describe why your Solution:
– Makes customers very happy
– Does it better, different than anyone else
– Remember “NICHE to WIN”
(Customer Case Study can also go here)


4. Market Size
no idea what this is, but it
looks really F’ing
impressive, doesn’t it? up
& to the right.

• Bigger is Better
• Top Down = someone else reported it
– Forrester, Gartner, Your Uncle

• Bottom Up = calculate users/usage/rev$
– Avg Txn = $X
– Y customers in our market
– Avg customer buys Z times per year
– Market Size = $X * Y * Z annually = a big friggin’ #
– Market growing @ 100+% per year

note: “top down” and “bottom up” have nothing to do with giving VCs hard-ons. Get your mind out of the gutter.


5. Business Model
(How Do You Plan to Make Money?)

• Describe Top 1-3 Revenue Sources
– Prioritize by Size, Growth, and/or Potential
– Cite current market activity / customer behavior as proof

• Show How You Get to Break-even (or Profitable)
– Ideally, on the current round of funding you’re raising

• Common Revenue Models
– Direct: ecommerce, subscription, digital goods, brands
– Indirect: advertising, lead gen, affiliate / CPA

• See Andrew Chen presentation:
• Revenue: The Internet Wants to Be Free,
but You Need to Get Paid

6. Proprietary Tech
(What is your Unfair Advantage?)

• VCs *really* like unfair advantage
– big market lead
– experienced team
– ex-Google PhDs
– core / “breakthrough” tech
– “defensible” IP / patents
– “exclusive” partnership
– great sales/marketing
– balls of steel


7. Competition
(+ why they all suck, why you’re different, yellow,
better)
• List all top competitors
– (especially top ones; we’ll find them anyway)

• Say how you’re better, or at least different
– If not better or different -> “NICHE TO WIN”
– position(-ing) matters

• 2-axis graph is trite, but still useful
– see next page for example

• useful comparisons / differentiation:
– simple vs complex
– value vs cheap (tougher to prove tho)
– cheap vs expensive (but careful you don’t race to bottom)
– consumer vs enterprise
– open vs proprietary (in this case, open usually better… but not always)


We’re Better, Different.
(and You Suck.)
Funny!

Accepted Shocking !!!

Not Funny.

8. Marketing Plan
Ok, so your product / technology rocks, but…
… how do you get customers / distribution?

lots of channels, lots of decisions… choose a few:
• PR • Email
• Contest • SEO / SEM
• Biz Dev • Blogs / Bloggers
• Viral / Referral
• Direct Marketing
• Affiliate / CPA
• Radio / TV / Print • Widgets / Apps
• Dedicated Sales • LOLCats
• Telemarketing

3 Things That Matter / To Measure :
1. Volume
2. Cost
3. Conversion


9. Team

People that Get VCs all Hot & Bothered
• Geeks with deep technical background
• Entrepreneurs who have sold companies
• Sales/Marketing who Make it Rain

Also Identify:
• Key Hires you Need but *Don’t* Have, and…
• … you’ve got candidates lined up in those areas
• ... ready to hire as soon as you close funding
• … or at least job descriptions / est. salary


10. Money, Milestones
• How Much Money Raised / Now Raising?
– Show 3 Budgets: Small, Medium, Large
– Show how you’ve got “Small” already lined up
– Show “Optionality”, Competitive Interest (if poss.)

• How Will You Spend It?
– Key Hires (Build Product)
– Marketing & Sales (Drive Revenue)
– CapX, Ops Infrastructure (Scale Up)

• Show Achievable Milestones with Non-Linear Increase in Value
– Show what will get you to next milestone (product, customers, hires)
– Show how the capital you have is more than adequate
