Reading
★ Costs: University of Geneva will pay for the 4 nights of hotel. Students are responsible for other expenses. ○ We are working on covering part of this course’s cost by possible gifts ★ Flights: you are responsible for your own flights. (If you book in advance flights are not expensive. For example: for those dates I found EasyJet direct flights for 150 Euros) ★ January is “winter”—aka about 10-16 degrees Celsius (rain is a possibility). Jerusalem and Dessert can get colder at night.

TipRanks Challenge
1) Should we spin off CoinWatch? 2) If so, where should we register it and why (easy regulation, taxation,etc..) 3) What should be the business model and how do we get to profitability 4) What are the capital requirements for such a business model. 5) Would it make sense to raise external capital in return to equity or to have an ICO.

MobileODT Challenge
1. Research and define the market size in Western Europe for Automatic Visual Evaluation technology in cervical cancer screening-- a mobile colposcope with the ability to automate detection of pre-cancer and cancer using imaging of the cervix and machine learning. 2. Define the leading verticals and their perspective potential – primary versus secondary screening 3. Identify the leading 2 countries to start with in Western Europe and develop a go-to-market strategy for these two
- markets. Include here:
a. Regulatory requirements for the use of ML in diagnostics, guideline requirements for the adoption of the technology and the process for inclusion in these guidelines, b. Potential distribution and sales channels. (including field work) 4. Competitive analysis- research any potential competitors for the AVE product and develop a competitive matrix. 5. Pricing – research and suggest potential pricing models for AVE based on predicate devices in each market (ML in diagnostics). Pay per patient, monthly rental, etc. Contact: Yael Misrahi, yaelmisrahi@mobileodt.com
Agnoris Overview
- The restaurant industry is one of the biggest industries in the US, spanning over $800b in annual sales, 1 million locations and
- ver 15mm employees.
- Currnetly--outdated practices and limited tools have relegated the industry to low margins. Managers and operators in the
industry are overwhelmed with day-to-day challenges and don’t have the time to do the painstaking processes that will ultimately define whether their businesses will succeed or fail.
- Every restaurant finds itself with data coming from nearly a dozen systems including point of sale (PoS), reservation/CRM,
labor management, expense management, accounting, inventory, website/social media, review sites and publications, weather and more. While the technology in the industry has made most of these end points more advanced, to fully understand how each part impacts the business requires significant manual effort and interaction with each system individually. This makes more important discoveries impossible at short intervals (e.g. sales trend changes).
- By collecting the data from all the restaurant source, Agnoris provides a single dashboard to monitor the entire business and
automatically identifies and highlights important datapoint and trend changes as well as suggests optimizations options managers can deploy and measure their success. With Agnoris, operations and general managers get a holistic perspective of their businesses with zero effort and have someone working by their side to continually push their margins up.

1. Agnoris has 20 sites that the product is installed at in the US - what's the best combination of pricing and audience to reach 5000 venues most efficiently. 2. How to penetrate the european market ? with the addition of European market potential what should be the effort that is needed for that? a. Which three countries should we reach to first? Which type of restaurants (high end chains/ mid range chains/ stand alone restaurants etc.) b. What should be the strategy with them? c. Who is the leading players in the EU market? 3. Explore the tradeoffs between "freemium" digital marketing vs. network-effect options (the product is priced at premium and can be discounted/incentivized for customers to bring others onboard).

Cred Overview
- Cred changes the way financial institutions acquire and serve wealth management and investment advisory Next-Gen clients.
Our platform is a white-labeled tool which serves highly personalized investments to mass-affluent Millennial investors.
- Cred generates engaging portfolios to match each user's interests, values, and beliefs – while controlling for portfolio
performance and risk, deconfliction from existing investment and income risk, and more.
- Similar to the high-touch, personalized Wealth Management experience that Affluent clients receive – Cred provides a
personal process and product to mass-affluent segments, with no need for a human advisory component. The KPIs we focus on are Client and Asset acquisition, alongside a secondary metric of user engagement – a necessary component that feeds into Client Acquisition. In testing, Cred’s engaging, risk-balanced, personal portfolios increase client conversion rates by 41%.
- Progress: Cred’s platform is in POC with BNP Paribas in Paris, as well as planned pilots with additional Tier-1 banks such as
Barclays Bank (which is also an investor in Cred), KeyBank, and others.
- In 10 years, retail asset management will look very different than it does today. With a higher level of engagement and
personalization, mass-affluent clients will feel comfortable with one of the most important parts of our financial lives: our
- investments. Cred's offering is being brought to market at just the right time - enabling financial institutions to be more
effective, while helping individuals engage with and understand their investments.

Cred Challenge
Cred can serve a broad range of financial institutions. The focus for this project is in creating a model which enables quick scaling – meaning, number and size of clients should rise much faster than Cred headcount. The topics that impact the above include: type of institution (size, AUM, clients, etc); customer self-service vs. active sales channel; decision-making process; time to market; project value, and more. We are currently testing out different models (market, client size, etc.). A scalable model is the most pressing business question that Cred needs to answer. The following methodology is suggested for this portion of the project:
- Identifying the institutions who are interested in acquiring a Next-Gen, Mass-Affluent client base
- Current situation analysis – is the institution looking to move to a younger client base? Do they have a digital investment
platform in-house? Are they looking to increase average asset size?
- Understanding which team and individuals have the most pain, and the budget for a solution
- Engage potential costumers with surveys of what will make them use banks and invest
The key to this stage will be on focusing on financial institutions that have an interest in serving the mass-affluent sector (up to €5M). In many Wealth-Management institutions that serve High-Net-Worth clients (€5M+), personalization is already provided through a human wealth manager – those institutions are not currently Cred’s target.
