  • Meet the Husband-And-Wife Team That Run Angelpad, the Exclusive Startup Accelerator Whose Early Bet on Postmates Just Led to a $2.65 Billion Uber Acquisition
    Meet the husband-and-wife team that run AngelPad, the exclusive startup accelerator whose early bet on Postmates just led to a $2.65 billion Uber acquisition Troy Wolverton Jul 21, 2020, 3:27 PM AngelPad was one of the earliest accelerators — companies that help founders get their startups up and running — and is still going strong a decade later. Although it's less well known than some of its peers, AngelPad has had repeated successes and just scored a big hit when Postmates, one of its earliest startups, agreed earlier this month to be acquired by Uber for $2.7 billion. Unlike other accelerators, AngelPad has largely stayed true to the original vision of its founders, Carine Magescas and Thomas Korte; they still run its programs and mentor its startups. Magescas and Korte still enjoy working with founders and helping build solid companies. When Gautam Narang and his cofounders were launching Gatik three years ago, they knew they wanted to jumpstart their autonomous vehicle startup by going through an accelerator program. They also knew just which one they wanted to join — AngelPad. Accelerator programs oer aspiring founders a way to turn their ideas into nascent businesses. Although there are many of them now, AngelPad was among the rst. And unlike some of its more well- known peers, such as 500 Startups and Y Combinator, AngelPad has stayed close to its roots and largely under the radar. It's still run by the same two people, and it still only accepts a small group of companies into each of its accelerator groups.

    June 2 0 1 1 ... N E W S ... Walker Sands Public Relations Team Wins Four Awards I am happy to begin this month's newsletter with exciting news. Walker Sands is the recipient of four awards for our outstanding public relations work. The Acquity Group Mobile Audit Campaign and the Alterian Social Media Hot Topic Campaign collectively received several awards: Award of Excellence from the Chicago Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), Gold and Bronze Tower Award from the Business Marketing Association (BMA) of Chicago, and the Silver Trumpet Award from the Publicity Club of Chicago (PCC). These awards recognize the best and brightest in public relations, and we are honored to be included in this group. Lauren Eichmann and Jackie Lampugnano headed the teams for these campaigns, and I applaud both their creativity and detailed execution required to win these awards. As always, a great deal of thanks goes to Acquity Group and Alterian who not only trusted us with their accounts, but allowed us to push them in new and innovative ways to achieve these goals. We are happy to share this recognition with their marketing teams, who were just as instrumental in the execution of these campaigns. While the statues and award logos are nice, what really matters is the results we achieve for our clients. All of these awards place a heavy emphasis on proving measurable results and showing an actual business impact. That's what we are focused on. It feels good to have the praise given by clients echoed by the larger PR community.

    Mechazine HoD’s Message: Nurturing creativity and inspiring innovation are two of the key elements of a successful education, and a department magazine is the perfect amalgamation of both. It harnesses the creative energies of the academic community, and distils the essence of their inspired imagination in the most brilliant way possible. True to its name, this magazine gives an insight into the range and scope of the imagination and creativity of our students and faculty members. Hence, I am quite pleased to learn about the forthcoming issue of the magazine which is ready for publication. May all our students soar high in uncharted skies and bring glory to the world and their profession with the wings of education. Prof. Mohd. Asim Qadri (HoD-ME) Editor’s Message: This magazine was a dream for me and my team. It gives me so much more than just plain and simple pleasure to present forth the reader its 2017th edition. It contains many things that we think will interest not just a broad spectrum of students but also the nerds as we engineers tends to be in all our glory. It reflects the hard work my team has put into this and the dedication that they have shown for the course of making this thing consumable. We all here at the editorial board hopes that you will find this interesting to read and that at the end of the day, you will get something worth knowing out of this. Because that is the whole idea behind this publication, to provide knowledge to the ones seeking it the most, because my fellow engineers as a great man once said to me “Knowledge is power”.

    TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT MÜNCHEN Fakultät für Informatik Lehrstuhl für Wirtschaftsinformatik (I 17) Univ.-Prof. Dr. Helmut Krcmar What Gets an Idea Included? The Impact of Group Dynamics on Idea Inclusion in Team Meetings Tobias Schlachtbauer, M.Sc. Vollständiger Abdruck der von der Fakultät für Informatik der Technischen Universität München zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) genehmigten Dissertation. Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr. Florian Matthes Prüfer der Dissertation: 1. Prof. Dr. Helmut Krcmar 2. Prof. Dr. Michael Schermann Die Dissertation wurde am 24.05.2018 bei der Technischen Universität München eingereicht und durch die Fakultät für Informatik am 26.09.2018 angenommen. Abstract I Abstract Motivation: Working in teams on solving complex tasks, including software development or service design, is common in today’s organizations. All these tasks require some creativity. This is especially true if the creation of innovative solutions to a problem is required. On the one hand, research findings suggest that teams are preferable to individuals for solving problems because the diverse points of view might spark more creative solutions. On the other hand, groups are found being prone to detrimental behaviors like groupthink or choosing not the best design. The disadvantages of groups are often attributed to misunderstandings due to the divers disciplinary or cultural background of the team members. Yet, other issues might be at play that leads to situations in which a team does not realize the full potential of the individual team members. Research Method: Our study combines ethnographic observation with grounded theory to investigate how proposed solutions for an assigned design problem evolve over the course of a project.

The effort I have sustained for many years has been first of all for myself, to satisfy my desire to learn and improve all the time, but it has also been for my fifteen year old son Rodrigo, who is building his life and to whom I wish the power of remaining always curious, hungry for knowledge, and capable of working hard and sacrificing for his dreams. I could have not been able to reach this doctorate without the support of my family: my mother, for having being present all the time I needed to be away, my sister, for showing me how to undertake continuous learning challenges and, above all, my beloved husband to whom I owe most of what I know and for dreaming with me endlessly.
