Toniic | The action community for global impact investing Dyslexia Makes Great Entrepreneurs A new film airing tonight on HBO2 examines the role of dyslexia in the lives of successful entrepreneurs and corporate leaders around the world. The film, Journey into Dyslexia, directed by Alan and Susan Raymond, presents several prominent dyslexic adults including Ben Foss, inventor of the Intel Reader; Steve Walker, New England Wood Pellet founder and CEO; and Carol Greider, Ph.D., a 2009 Nobel Laureate in Physiology and Medicine. They're in good company. "Are these people more visionary, can they see things differently?" The correlation betweeen dyslexia and entrepreneurship has long been a subject of scientific inquiry. "The study also concluded that dyslexics were more likely than nondyslexics to delegate authority and to excel in oral communication and problem solving and were twice as likely to own two or more businesses," according to The New York Times, which first reported on the research back in 2007.

Afforable Mobile Solutions for Nonprofit, Charities, and NGOsiNotForProfit | Connecting Communities, Driving Donations Product Launch 101 This is the story of what happens in a typical product launch. Fellow entrepreneurs and people interested in the business side of what I do will be interested; others probably won’t. I’m going to outline a few of the things I’ve learned in doing product launches over the years. With AONC I’ve done six of them so far (including the two non-commercial manifestos), but before that, I worked on dozens of others in my first decade of self-employment. The Basic Principle My friend Havi gave me the analogy that launching a product is like having a child. When they say, “Oh, if the morning’s not good, how about the afternoon?” The point is that a good product launch is a) a big deal, not just something that happens every day, and b) something that requires a great deal of work behind the scenes. Messaging The single most important principle of product launches is to make them special. Then on the big day, the message is, “It’s finally ready! 2- Tire-kickers who just want to see what you’re doing.

It happens when creators don’t have a grip on the cost or complexity of manufacturing. CNNMoney found last year that 42 of the 50 Kickstarter projects that raised the most money didn’t ship on time. Dragon Innovation today is opening its own crowdfunding site to fund more products and less vaporware. The four-year-old company, with a staff of 20 split between Lexington, Mass., and China, helps hardware makers turn their prototypes into products, including by connecting them to factories overseas. Now it will help them raise money online, too—and potentially introduce them to such companies as General Electric (GE) and Qualcomm (QCOM), says Scott Miller, Dragon’s chief executive. Miller has been helping startups clear the hurdles of hardware manufacturing since 2009.
