Video of Caelen at BizCamp 2009

By Philip Boyle Conferences 2 Comments »

Here’s the first ten minutes of Caelen’s talk at BizCamp 2009 in the Guinness Storehouse last weekend, covering the 4 main points you need to think about when starting a web business:

  1. Who will pay?
  2. How much will they pay?
  3. How will they pay?
  4. Can you reconcile revenue to costs?

Elsewhere on the blog you can find the full set of slides for Caelen’s web revenue models presentation.

Personally, it was great to hear a lot of people feeling very positive about their businesses, from the brand new start-ups like Cloudsplit (Real time analytics for the cloud) to the better established companies like Realex Payments, and it was good to meet up with some friendly networking faces again – hi to @LeoFogarty, @CareersCoachEU, @UnaColeman, and @redoaktaxrefund.

Big thanks to the whole team of volunteers for organising the day in the first place and hopefully you all got as much value out of it as myself and Caelen did.

Bizcamp is this Saturday

By Caelen King Conferences No Comments »
We previously posted about Bizcamp here, but just a quick reminder that Caelen will be there speaking about his fundraising experiences to date. Bizcamp’s purpose this year is to help us forget about the general doom and gloom we find ourselves in at the moment, and focus on the positive. Funds are still out there and getting some top tips from Caelen and other entrepreneurs like Niall Harbison of LookandTaste.com, Campbell Scott of IGOPeople and Keith Bohanna of dbTwang, could prove invaluable. A list of all attendees is available here. Unfortunately, registration for the Dublin event is now closed, but places are still available for the Limerick event.
