Hey guys, how you doing? This is your boy Rich from RichTVLive and you too can join the club at richpicksdaily.com where you can learn how to win and trade. Hi, how are you doing today? I'm your host Rich here on behalf of RichTVLive with our very special guest, the founder and CEO of GameOn Entertainment Technologies, Matt Bailey. How are you doing today, Matt? I'm good Rich. I'm excited to be here for the first time. I'm excited to have you on the show. You guys had some big news today and I want to talk a little bit about your company. Matt, tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got involved with GameOn Entertainment Technologies. So a little about me first. My background is from Australia originally moved to New York eight years ago. Just wanted to work in the major leagues. I worked in the broadcast world in Australia. Ended up working for the Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center for a long time in New York. Then started GameOn a few years ago. Now I'm actually down in Miami but started GameOn a few years ago and what we wanted to do is solve a problem. We realized that people aren't consuming content like they used to and when I say content I mean TV so on broadcasters but also leagues, teams, TV networks, sports books. People aren't consuming the content that they're putting out like they're used to and they're becoming the never screen. In some cases with millennial Gen Z they're becoming the never screen. Not just the second screen which is a big problem. Not only for the TV networks but for the sports that are on those networks, for the studios that are putting content on those networks, for the sports books who are creating markets around those sports. It's a massive, massive problem that flows on to all of these different content providers. So we're helping them become not the never screen by providing game technologies, B2B white labeled game technologies, things like prediction games, fantasy games that plug into their mobile app, their TV app, their website. There's no GameOn experience so it's completely white labeled. We're just the product and technology partner behind the scenes building these experiences and plugging them into their website or mobile apps to make their content more engaging, social and ultimately more monetizable. That sounds fantastic. Can you tell us more about some of the milestones that GameOn entertainment technologies hit this year and what are some of the things shareholders have to look forward to in 2022? Yeah so we're early so that's one of the big big value props here for shareholders is that this is the first inning and it's a real opportunity to participate in the upside. We just went public in June, in March before that we raised a pre-IPO private placement, it was $5.8 million, very little institutional but that was kind of the funding that enabled us to grow from three to 20 full-time so we've really focused on getting the dream team on board that will execute. You know my background but our Chief Product Officer before us built literally conceived and built NBA Top Shot at Dapper Labs. It was his brain chart and if you don't know NBA Top Shot which I'm sure most people do but they're one of the biggest NFT products right now, they're nearing a billion dollars in sales. Before that he built the FIFA game at EA Sports for 10 years so he's literally the best product person in the world that we could have on our product. Our VP of Partnerships comes from Madison Square Garden where he sold against the Knicks, the Rangers and the Arena and all of the other properties there. Our Chairman Jane Moses built the original Grand Theft Auto back in the day and still today he's on the board of Take 2 Interactive, one of the biggest public gaming companies in the world. So we really focused on team over the last six months and now we're starting to see the fruits of that labor come to life. We're starting to see deals closing which will mean revenue not too far away as well so that's what we've been focusing on over the last six months since we went public. Now you touched a little bit on the management but could you tell us a little bit more about the management at Game on Entertainment Technologies and especially their past successes in the public markets? Yes, so the first one would be Jane Moses. He's on the board of Take 2 Interactive which is incredibly valuable. He's the person who came on board when we were diligently the opportunity of going public in Canada and he said you should do this but I'm going to be right by your side with you driving the business with you and helping you make decisions and looking after our shareholders, having our shareholders best interest at heart. So Jane is an incredible person not only for the company but also for me as a public market CEO. He's incredible so he's the biggest piece. Victory Square Technologies are our biggest shareholder and our parent company so to speak. They're also a public company. They have a business model that focuses on a portfolio so they have over 20 companies in their portfolio all of which are starting to go public. So they have very strong Canadian market experiences and we lean on them and talk to them every single day you know be it for raising money from investors or service providers or reporting or whatever we need to lean on them for. They are there as our public market partner so to speak. They're awesome. Santee who I mentioned our Chief Product Officer comes from EA Sports where you know they are a very successful public company so that's that was one of the biggest things once we raised that money we decided to grow the team with relevant people and experience who are going to make sure that we that we win. When we you know when when people ask about you know patents and you know all these things that are going to protect us and create a moat I talk about you know the patents we have we have two patent endings but our biggest unfair advantage and the reason why we're going to win is because of the people. Where people first those people the guys that I just mentioned are the reason why shareholders should invest because we're the right people to do what we're doing. Now you recently announced and this is huge news that you partnered with XMBA superstar champion Kevin Garnett to evaluate and elevate women's sports. Can you tell us what this means for the company and how it will help grow the brand?  Other partners we've worked with or we're working with our NBC Universal and Brava we did the official prediction game for the Real Housewives we're working with with MX player in India they're the biggest streaming platform in India a billion downloads with a B which is which is just crazy that we're doing all of their cricket prediction games that's gone so well that they're adding three more games to our scope of work for tennis soccer and kibati which is a traditional Indian sport and this is just another one Kevin Garnett's gaming society we're partnering with them to create prediction games around women's sports and really democratize fan engagement around women's leagues you know no one's doing this we want to play a role in in amplifying women's sports so that's going to be really exciting to roll out in in Q1 around March Madness at the end of Q1 around the women's tournament and they you know just like every other partner they pay us a license fee and we participate in generating revenue share off on the on the back end as well so that's our business model and it's the same for gaming society that's an exciting partnership I'm excited to see this all evolve and unfold and if game on entertainment tech were to compare itself to its competitors in this sector what would you say sets you guys apart so the first part is the team we're really an unmatched team of people who are really well suited to solve the problem we're trying to solve second of all most of our competitors in the market are simply giving a set of tools like an SDK a set of tech tech tools for their for their partners to go and build prediction games what we don't do that we actually bring the product to life from start to finish we're an end-to-end solution because our the customers we're selling to don't they don't have time to build games they don't want to build games they're focusing on what they're great at which is content or which is you know sports books are creating odds NFT collectibles are focusing on the community and creating those collectibles we come in and be the gamification partner the game partner from end to end which is a big big differentiator they don't need our partners don't need to have a team of engineers working on this they don't need to have you know anyone babysitting this technology we're bringing it to life from start to finish which is a big big differentiator and selling point when we're out there in the market can you go through the capital structure we've got investors from all over the world in the three major markets canada united states and germany in the stock market and they really like to understand the fundamentals so we start with the capital structure of game on entertainment technologies so can you break down the capital structure for our viewers and how you plan on attracting more institutional and retail investors yeah so we uh we have 63 million shares outstanding right now and 50 percent are inside our own so we're very we're very tight we're we're locked up you know we don't see any unrestricted shares for a long time and that's because we're fully aligned on driving this business in the long term so that's really important it actually was 70 but then victories where i'm a bigger shareholder issued a dividend to there to to broaden our shareholder base but yeah i mean the next step is is bringing more institutional on board we brought on strategic recently with an investment from our one of our customers times internet mx player who we already spoke about they have enjoyed that partnership so much that their parent company times internet has invested in us up to six million dollars over the next few years and then and then polygon you mentioned they're two incredible strategic partners that are investing and backing us and showing their support around you know a small 20 million market cap business it's so amazing to get the backing of a 20 billion market cap polygon and then next is institutional we're having a lot of conversations around what that institutional raise looks like when it's going to happen it will be next year at some point we're in a very strong cash position right now where we have you know year of runway when we're only spending 250 a month canadian and we don't anticipate spending much more right now but that's the next step is is an institutional there's a lot of interest and we'll be looking to make that happen in the in the new year sometime matt if there was one thing that you would want investors to know about game on entertainment technologies today what would that be if i'm talking to shareholders right now i just want you to to look at us as as potentially uncovering you know one of those companies that that are going to make some big strides and in the next 12 months we're in deal making mode right now our biggest our biggest you know hurdle for us right now but a shareholder's biggest advantage is that we're unknown you know people don't know who we are we're just starting to pound that pavement uh and spread the word of who we are so so when i'm talking to shareholders i just want you to understand that we're earlier if you have an appetite for a small market cap like 20 million which is where we're at now's the time to get on board and really participate in the upside all i asked from from new shareholders who are learning about who we are is that you watch us put us on your watch list sign up to our updates at gameon.app so that you see our press releases everyone who's followed us for the last six months if you read the forums they say that we're doing what we say we would you know we don't over promise and under deliver we're executing we're getting deals done we're bringing on strategic partners and all i ask is that you guys also watch us sign up for our updates and give us a chance to show you that we're executing because i'm confident that that we will do what we're saying so that's all i can ask from you guys matt what is the best way for investors to get in touch with the company if they have any questions about game on entertainment technologies just email investors at gameon.app our investor relations team is is always onto that i'm i'm looking at that as well so often i'll i'll respond and connect with investors my virtual door is always open so if you have a question specifically for me just note that and i'll make sure i get back to you when you email investors at gameon.app to keep up to date with our news go to go to gameon.app and you'll be able to sign up for our updates and get those press releases as soon as they're hot off the press. Super excited to watch this company evolve and grow i must remind everyone that rich tv live is strictly for information and education purposes please consult a financial advisor before you invest in anything we talk about or discuss here on rich tv live in saying that i do believe this is one of the hottest sectors in the world right now that you're in and i believe this is a company that is very much undervalued underappreciated underexposed thank you for joining us today the founder and CEO of gameon entertainment technologies matt bailey thanks rich looking forward to coming back soon yeah i'd love to invite you back matt anytime you have any big breaking news or anything you want to discuss we'd love to invite you back here on rich tv live thank you for watching everybody if you're not winning you're probably not watching we bring in the winners and we bring them to you first if you like the video smash the like button comment down below share the video everywhere and subscribe this is rich from rich tv live with matt bailey the founder and CEO of gameon entertainment technologies saying have a nice day we'll see you soon


I'm Burheh, from the Ministry of Agriculture and especially from the direct rate of animal and plant health regulatory. The main purpose of today's conference or workshop is just to launch the first of its kind, the livestock development enhancement workshop, which is being organised by Ministry of Agriculture in collaboration with our development partners. The main purpose is just to pick up the livestock sector to its place where it deserves. So now government is giving due attention and meeting the five year plan of GDP, Grouse and Transfacen plan. So in line with this plan we are trying to bring on board all stakeholders as to discuss the issues, possible challenges as well as the way forward as a possible solution for the forthcoming livestock sector development.


Now, we have now constructed the set E ok. Now what? This is the slightly complicated part everybody has trouble with using this part of the La Salle invariance is to find the set M ok and M has to be invariant and inside E and it is the largest invariant set ok. Can't be anything cannot be any invariant set larger than this ok. Now, how do we do this is how do we usually do this? I mean because I do not know how to find the largest and smallest right I mean it is not like an optimization problem that I find largest and smallest because you can see that these will be very complicated sets yeah this kind of optimization you are truly impossible to do. Basically you are you will not find an engine which will solve this optimization problem if I actually thought of finding the largest invariant set and all because you will have to initialize you will have to take all initial conditions and try to do something ok not possible not possible. So, what I will do is these or what everybody does not what I will do yeah what everybody does is assume E is invariant ok. So, we actually assume that E is itself an invariant set ok. So, this sort of helps us continue forward. What does it mean if E is invariant ok? What do you need for E to be invariant? It means if I start inside E I must remain inside E, but look at the interesting thing what is the set E is this guy ok alright it is this guy. Now, the first term is a continuous could be a continuous quantity right it can take any value between minus 2 pi to 2 pi notice this guy can take any value between minus 2 pi to 2 pi. So, I cannot really conclude too much about this, but what we use is the fact that the second term that is x 2 has to be 0 is fixed. So, for me to be invariant and to remain inside E I need x 2 to be identically 0 for all E in this case yeah I need x 2 to be identically 0 and what does this mean if something is 0 forever or some constant forever and all these are continuous right x 1 x 2 is continuous because I have a differential equation right. So, obviously continuous nice properties. So, what does it mean if x 2 is 0 for all time or any constant for all time no not really right that would mean all states are 0 only one state being 0 is not just like you know that alpha comma 0 is not an equilibrium right. I hope you understand that alpha any x 1 is not the equilibrium otherwise it would be this 0 velocity 0 velocity 0 velocity all this will be equilibrium. So, this is not an equilibrium no what can I say if any quantity is if any function is the constant function what do we know about the function this is a function of time right I mean although I write it like this it is actually a function of time then x 2 dot is identically 0 yeah x 2 dot has to be identically that is only a function can be a constant function alright which means what what is x 2 dot anybody remember this minus k sin x 1 minus c x 2 this has to be identically 0 all of this to make e invariant all of this is to make the set e invariant without this happening set e cannot be made invariant ok. Now, I already know that this guy is already going to 0 right and the left hand side is already 0. So, what do I know what do I conclude this also has to converge to 0 not converge to 0 whatever has to be 0 has to be 0 and what do I know sin x 1 is equal to 0 at what x 1 equal to what n pi right. So, 0 pi I will not write 2 pi because after that it is repetitions right I will just write 0 and pi and you see 0 and pi are both in our set omega right both in our set omega. So, we started by assuming that e is the invariant set, but to ensure that e is in fact invariant I required sin x 1 to be 0 which gave me exactly 2 values not all of e not all of e ok everything else is the same right 0 and pi all other angles are the same you can write them if you want, but yeah you can write 0 and pi I know 2 pi is also there, but it is all the same. So, I am not including them. So, what do I have I have that the invariant set is what m is equal to what now what is the set m now 0 0 and pi 0 ok alright. Just by starting with e being invariant I have concluded that only these 2 points constitute the invariant set ok. So, m is the invariant set the largest invariant set you cannot have anything more why because I started with e being invariant which is the largest set I had to work with from there I could only get out that these 2 points give invariant and what are these points these are exactly the this and this right. So, what does Lassal invariance say because I have satisfied all the requirements of the Lassal invariance I constructed a compact invariant omega right I had a v and a v positive semi definite v dot negative semi definite in omega in fact it is in d, but in omega also ok. And so and then I constructed the e and the m sets. So, I have satisfied all the requirements of the Lassal invariance principle. So, Lassal invariance principle says that if I start in this set omega not anywhere in the domain if I start in this set omega then I will converge to this ok. So, interestingly what I have been able to prove is still not if you say everything because although there is no restriction on the angle right it says if you start in omega ok. So, I can start at any angle because minus 2 pi to 2 pi close set includes all the angles no problem ok. And it says I will converge to either this point or this point it does not specify which point you can converge here or here no problem. But the velocity is restricted there is a restriction in the velocity although again in reality you know what I can start at any velocity theoretically and I will converge to an equilibrium one of the two equilibrium for a pendulum ok. In fact, I will converge to this equilibrium only I will never converge to this equilibrium if the velocity is anything but 0 I will converge to this equilibrium only ok. So, in fact any velocity is allowed in reality, but I have only been able to prove this much ok. So, there is a caveat ok I mean even Lassalle invariance does not let us prove what we know in reality. But this is more than enough because I can choose any c which will give me velocity 1 e power 6 I will choose a c accordingly and tell you yeah this will work yeah because all I have to do c c was nothing c is just a artifact of our imagination ok. So, c is nothing we created it if you give me 1 e to the power 6 1 e to the power 10 velocity for whatever reason you want to put a rocket thruster on the pendulum, but you will I can still guarantee that you will converge to the equilibrium by choosing a large enough c ok. But yeah in theory once you fix a c your velocities are bounded yeah not unbounded velocity unbounded velocities are not ok which is obviously fair enough for all intents and purposes ok. So, do you all understand how to use the Lassalle invariance I have also as the TS to try some examples I hope they try something other than the pendulum anyway with Lassalle invariance application of the general Lassalle invariance with multiple equilibrium ok. So, it is important that we follow this. Now, I also want to state if you have no other no questions on this I want to state the stability versions of these theorems ok. So, Lassalle invariance was obviously by Lassalle yeah, but then the stability versions of these theorems where almost parallely developed by Krasovsky-Barbersian ok. So, therefore, I like to call it Krasovsky-Barbersian-Lassalle theorems some books call it Krasovsky-Lassalle some call it Barbersian-Lassalle but whatever it is better to put all the names. So, these are very close to Lassalle theorems, but they only deal with stability of the zero equilibrium ok. Here you have a general multi in multi stability what you can call multi stability was multiple points you can reach a limit set yeah. Here you specialize to reaching the origin only yeah. And how do we do that? We no longer start with V which is only positive semi definite we actually start with a proper Lyapunov candidate ok. This is now a proper Lyapunov candidate positive definite in C1 and we just have semi-definiteness on the V dot such Lyapunov candidates are called non-strictly Lyapunov function ok. For all x in D notice for all x in D not in any omega yeah. You see that the omega is carefully missing here there is no omega here. Why because I know that I can construct omega just by this fact we just did the example and then if I define the S similarly whatever we called E here is the S here just because it is stability theorems I am using a different notation that is all. If you define the S as such and if x equal to 0 is the only invariant trajectory in S this is just wording that some texts use but this is the same as saying the set x equal to 0 is the largest invariant set inside S then x equal to 0 asymptotically stable ok. On the other end then you can also state a global version which says that if now you do not have a domain you have all of Rn ok again negative semi definite in all of Rn and you have the same things happening then you have global SM dot extensibility ok that is it. If the domain goes away then you have global SM dot extensibility ok. Notice all these results LaSalle invariance, Barbashin Krasovsky LaSalle all these are only for time invariant systems or autonomous systems ok. For time varying systems the results are significantly more complicated ok I mean not easy to apply these results ok because the notions of limit points and limit sets itself becomes very messy ok alright. So these are the stability versions of the theorems alright now if you go back to our example how would I do the stability version I mean in fact this is actually pretty straight forward yeah what will I do I will no longer take minus 2 pi to 2 pi I will just take minus pi 2 pi because I only want the bottom equilibrium included in the set now because I am looking to do stability of 0 equilibrium. So I will not include the top equilibrium in my set D ok. So my set D will now contain only minus pi 2 pi ok anyway this is something I will ask you to complete yeah but the rest of the steps are exactly the same you still have a V ok notice that as soon as I choose x 1 and minus pi 2 pi this is positive definite this we discussed right earlier in the example we did this example ok. If x 1 is in the minus pi 2 pi range not minus 2 pi to 2 pi range in the minus pi to pi range this is a positive definite function right I hope you all agree yes because this function will not be 0 anywhere but at 0 0 the problem with the larger ranges 2 pi is included then it is not positive definite but if 2 pi is not included so minus pi to pi then 0 is the only point that is x 1 equal to 0 is the only point where this can become 0 yeah x 1 x 2 equal to 0 nowhere else ok. So the only difference is in the domain ok. So it will become minus pi to pi cross r after that it is very straight forward V is positive definite V dot is negative semi definite in the domain ok and after that the same analysis goes through it this analysis is not changing the set E or in this case the set S whatever you can call it S but this is going to be exactly the same right because V dot is exactly the same so this set is the same if this set is the same the set M is the same without this case because minus pi to pi does not contain pi at all minus pi to pi open set remember we took for this domain is minus pi comma pi ok for applying the Bar-Baschine-Krasovsky-Lasall we took we take this. So this is not even part of this set ok so M contains only the origin M contains only the origin ok all this so nothing changed in the analysis I just shortened my or reduce the size of my domain and just by reducing the size of my domain instead of applying the general Lasall principle I am applying the Bar-Baschine-Krasovsky-Lasall why because by shrinking the domain I removed this equilibrium minus pi to pi does not contain this gate yeah because I excluded pi ok that is all so by shrinking so what am I doing by saying minus pi to pi it is starting from here and here so it is like it goes from here all the way to slightly here that is it minus pi to pi is just everything but that vertical upward vertical line ok so I have essentially taken everything but that top vertical line and so I have skipped the second equilibrium once I skip the second equilibrium there is only one equilibrium ok and remember I always told you when you have one equilibrium only then you can talk about you know stability or global stability multiple equilibria then you have to think Lasall type ideas. So that is all I shrunk the domain so that I have one equilibrium in this domain and then applying Bar-Baschine-Krasovsky-Lasall is very easy because the set E remains the same and the set M contains only the 0 equilibrium and that is proof that 0 is asymptotically stable not global because of this restriction in the domain is not global but whatever asymptotically stable more than enough ok and this is in fact sounds more general I did not have to do all this omega construction and all right it gave me asymptotic stability. So basically what it is saying is if you start anywhere but at this equilibrium anywhere but this equilibrium so you can start anywhere arbitrarily close to it but away from that equilibrium then you will fall here which is what is the reality also right you can verify that very easily in experiments all right is that clear ok. The spring mass damper example is also very similar and much easier this is a spring mass damper is a just a linear version of the pendulum, linearized pendulum if you may. This is what the dynamics looks like x 1 dot is x 2 x 2 dot is minus k 1 x 1 minus k 2 x 2 the constants k 1 and k 2 depend on yeah spring mass coefficients all right and what do I do I take V as the energy right this is the what is this term potential energy potential energy is the spring energy energy stored in the spring this guy and this is the kinetic energy term ok spring energy potential energy kinetic energy if you take the derivative and of course you can see that this is all nice and radially unbounded in fact V is radially unbounded I hope that is clear to you and this is yeah in fact in all of R n the domain you do not even have to worry about the domain here sorry all of R 2 ok this is V is valid in all of R 2 V dot is negative semi definite in all of R 2 and V is radially unbounded in all of R 2 ok. So, once you have that it is again the same kind of S construction right because sorry again E has been used it does not matter. So, what is the set E now the set E is just V dot equal to 0 which is the same amazing comes out to be exactly the same you just need x 1 comma 0 all sets of the form x 1 comma 0 ok. Now, I know 0 has to remain you have to the second variable of x 2 has to remain at 0 for all time. Therefore, x 2 dot has to remain at 0 for all time which means that minus k 1 x 2 minus k 2 x 2 has to be 0 for all time same logic, but x 2 is already 0. So, x 1 also has to be 0 for all time. So, what is the largest invariant set in E x 2 was already 0 now I also want x 1 to be 0. So, 0 0 is the only invariant set inside this ok from every other point you will move ok. So, they are not invariant set ok you cannot find any other invariant set. So, this is the largest invariant set inside E ok. So, this is in fact, your whatever M set if you know yeah and. So, any trajectory which starts anywhere in fact, will converge to the 0 0 equilibrium ok. Again it is a linear system you could have very well computed the Eigen values and obviously, found out that they were negative and you would have concluded exponential stability. This is just giving you an alternate way, but this is just a way of using this theorem that is all I mean you have already seen that I can use it for non-linear systems also. In fact, you can you use it Lassal invariance like I said is a method of choice for typically for geometers because like I said because they like to use the energy as the Lyapunov candidate and whenever you use the energy of the as a Lyapunov candidate for these conservative type systems that is with no external forces invariably your V dot will be 0 right because energy is conserved right it will not be less than equal to anything will be exactly 0 and from there if you want to conclude anything you have to use Lassal invariance ok you have no choice but to use Lassal invariance ok. So, Lassal invariance is a pretty very very strong method yeah. I am not sure if you will have time, but there is also what adaptive control folks use is the notion of Barbalat's lemma is a different way of doing this Barbashin Krasov Lassal ok which is more I would say you might find it easier to use and it can be used for time varying systems also ok here you cannot yeah you cannot use these for time varying system these results in this form. But Barbalat's lemmas also cannot be used for multiple equilibria case it is so the general Lassal invariance principle is a very powerful result yeah it is a very very strong result you cannot get multiple equilibria type results from any typically any other method ok not easy not easy you have Poincaré-Benedictson theorem and all that but not easy they have all sorts of interesting assumptions which you may not satisfy yeah so Lassal invariance actually a very very powerful tool that way yeah.


Studying Othello? Here's how you can analyze that one scene one. The same direction is open by indicating to us that a nobleman called Rodrigo and a captain called Iago are arguing in Venice. We find out that Rodrigo who's been paying Iago large sums of money has found something out which he's really outraged about. Rodrigo and Iago are speaking about somebody that they both hate and it's not yet clear to us who they are. However Iago states that he's on Rodrigo's side and he speaks using Cesaro to say that this person who they're plotting against Iago hates him because he hasn't promoted him. We learn that Iago has passed over from promotion to be a lieutenant in favour of a man called Michael Cascio. Iago is furious because Cascio got this promotion however he is inexperienced in the battlefield. Iago grows more enraged as he speaks and he confirms that he's now been left to work as a captain for a more. Remember a more is somebody who is of African descent specifically from North Africa. Iago then reassures Rodrigo that he has got his back and he speaks in repetition to say that he is plotting against this more and this is going to be to Rodrigo's advantage. It's clear that Iago is really jealous of his boss's position. Remember that his boss is a general and he speaks using Cesaro to juxtapose the word more and Iago to say that he deserves to even be in a higher social position than he currently is. Iago then speaks using repetition here to say that he is going to pretend like he's a good person to this boss however he is going to betray him. Iago then speaks in this imperative sentence to instruct Rodrigo to wake up a woman's father. Rodrigo then shouts using these exclamatory sentences and we can see here he seems somewhat foolish. We as the audience still are not entirely sure what's happening so at this stage it seems quite comedic what's happening. A man called Brabantio is being woken up in the middle of the night by these two men. Iago who's hidden then speaks using oxymoron hair. He speaks using very derogatory racist language to tell Brabantio that his daughter is sleeping with the more and now we start to realize that this daughter is the person who Rodrigo is interested in and he's unhappy because she is together with the more. As Brabantio is awakened and confused Iago speaks hair using really derogatory animalistic language to say that basically Brabantio's daughter is sleeping with the more.  As Rodrigo reveals to Brabantio that his daughter has eloped with the more it becomes clear to us as viewers that he is jealous because he's romantically interested in Brabantio's daughter. Brabantio first doesn't believe them and he goes to check his daughter's room and he speaks in this exclamatory sentence to reveal that he's realized his daughter has run away and he's horrified. We can see the theme of prejudice here when Brabantio realizes his daughter is married to an African man. He speaks using this exclamatory sentence as well as this rhetorical question to show that he really doesn't want his daughter to be married to a more. Rodrigo then offers to help Brabantio by showing him where his daughter and the more are.


Go, Bartek John. As you know, we only make one Vlogbrothers video a week each. And this presents a problem because it makes me feel about every time I make a video that isn't totally epic. Making a video that's just like, here's what's up with me this week. It feels like a waste of an opportunity to do something important with the platform that I have. Which, as I think, over the years kind of changed how people perceive the Vlogbrothers channel. Like, if you look at how our videos have done over the last couple of months, you will see that the ones that are more like, explainy, well, research, politics, videos, those ones do a lot better than videos that are more like, travel essay, or just like, talk about things and thoughts that are more traditionally Vlogbrothers-y, at least in my mind. This is super not a signal for like, what direction we should be going with the channel, because like, getting more views is definitely not a path to happiness, and also not really a path to success. Things are good here in Vlogbrothers. We got a lot of stuff going on in our lives. We don't need views. Like, that's not what we're doing here. But it's hard not to kind of take it as guidance, because it's like, okay, people like this, we should make more of this. I say no, we should not. We have to mix it up, because that's what makes this channel interesting, not just for people watching, but also for me. But it's harder to mix it up when we have fewer opportunities to mix it up, because we only make one video a week, but we have to only make one video a week, because lots of good reasons. The primary reason being that this community has given us opportunities to do really important, wonderful things that we believe in. Like, I want to make Wizard School a really amazing game. I want to make VidCon a really amazing conference. I want to encourage a new generation of video creators, and SciShow and Crash Course have become huge, and I want them to be bigger and better. But as SciShow and Crash Course are now amazingly bigger than Vlogbrothers, both in views and subscribers, you might be tempted to think that SciShow and Crash Course have become more important in my life personally than Vlogbrothers, which is not even close to the case. This channel is still, by far, to me the most interesting thing that I have ever done, that I am currently doing, probably that I will ever do in my whole life.  I cannot imagine having done any of the amazing things that I've done in the last 10 years, without this obligation that I have to Nerdfighteria, to this community. But this channel has changed many times over the years, it will continue to change, as our profiles have been elevated for lots of different reasons, it's felt less safe to be as open, and so we're more guarded now. That also might be a symptom of the YouTube platform maturing, and of, like, us maturing? We're 10 years older now. And because of that, I feel a little less desired to be silly. Like, if you go watch older videos, there's a lot more silliness. And likewise, my music has been on the back burner for so long, that lots of people don't even know that I write music, or that I never would have without this channel. Luckily, I now have Snapchat for the more silly stuff. We've got almost a year now of the Dear Hank and John podcast, which is a great opportunity for more conversational brotherly connection. And I still get to go on tour with the Perfect Strangers, which we'll be doing in about a week, which is just one of my very favorite things to do in the entire world. Just playin' music for nerds. Sometimes I am sad things must change, and I am sad things cannot be the way that I would want them to be in a perfect world. But I also love to see how things have changed over the years, and I kinda can't wait to see where it's all headed. I hope that I never let you down, Nerdfighteria. I spend a lot of my time thinking about how to do the things that you would want me to do, and I hope it's going okay. John, I'll see you on Tuesday. If you wanna hear about some of the stuff that I'm up to personally, that means I can't maybe make all the Vlogbrothers videos I want to, but that I care a lot about, and that I think are really cool, I've put another video up on Hank's channel, where I just talk about things that are going on right now. If you wanna watch that, frankly, I would be honored. That's all. Have a lovely day.


Merci d'avoir partagé. Mon nom est Vincent Latour et je suis l'engineur d'application software à ST Microelectronics. Je voudrais vous montrer dans cette vidéo comment un développeur comme vous peut utiliser le R3911B Reader avec notre software ST25PC pour démonstrer les taxes dynamiques de la dynamique de la dynamique de la dynamique de la dynamique de la dynamique. Mais d'abord, let's introduce the two stars of the video. The ST25DV Discovery is a demonstration kit to evaluate the features and capabilities of the ST25DV series. The kit is divided in two parts. The first one is the motherboard. And the other one is the Dutterboard based on the ST25DV 04K dynamic tags, which is ISO 15693 and NFC forum type 5 compliant. So now, let's have a more detailed look at the Dutterboard, the ST25DV in DFN12 package, the antenna and the motherboard connector. This board is a ready to use kit featuring ST25R certain 11B product, an highly integrated HF Reader NFC initiator IC. This Reader is one of the most powerful the market with 1.4W output power. It supports all NFC and HF standards. It embeds the unique automatic antenna tuning, dynamic power output and low power output mode. Those kits can be ordered online at the address shown on the screen. Finally, you will need to download and install the ST25PC01 software from the ST website. This software is a Java application running on Windows PCs. It has been developed to demonstrate RF communication with all NFC tags from ST. This software supports multiple Fag Readers and the ST25R3911B Reader. Let's start with our demonstration with ST25DV anti-collision procedure. In this demo, we use the ST25R3911B Reader to detect multiple ST25DV tags. This shows the benefit of the ST25DV being a long range tag. It also demonstrates the reading distance of the Reader. Et pour votre information, le hâte de la stade de displays est de plus de 10 cm. Restez le PC software Java et ouvrez l'amélioration. Comme vous pouvez le voir, type 5 anti-collision est sélectionnée par default. Puis cliquez sur continue scan bouton. Les 3 ST25DVs sont détectées et leur UID est display. Let's continue with the firmware upgrade demo, based on the fast transfer mode feature. Ceci est utilisé dans le 256x burfrus de Fast Memory embédisé dans le ST25DV. Ce demo montre que le Reader est capable d'élever la firmware de plusieurs balles simultaneously. Ne pas dire que dans ce cas-là, nous utilisons une antenne plus 1. Let's check the current firmware version of the motherboard. It's 1.0.6. Then enter the fast transfer mode demo by selecting FTM icon. To upgrade the firmware of the motherboard, select the firmware upgrade menu. Then select the firmware file to transmit. The file size is about 110 kb. Activez Fast mode feature to enable faster response from ST25DV. And finally, click on send to airf. The PC software first sends the password required by the MCUs, and then the transfer starts. All ST25DV discovery boards are updated simultaneously. After 42 seconds, the firmware has been successfully upgraded on all boards. As you can see, the firmware version is now 2.0.0. The firmware uploads through NFC simultaneously on multiple boards can bring great benefits to the industrial sector as for machine maintenance or parameter settings. To continue our demo, we'll show that the FTM feature can also be used to upload data from the MCU to the reader. On the ST25DV discovery board, enter the FTM menu, then click on the picture icon. The selected picture size is about 16 kb. In the PC software, click on the picture transfer demo. Select download the picture from the tag, activate fast mode feature, then click on start transfer. After 6 seconds, the picture has been successfully transferred and is displayed in the PC software. In the PC software, open the tags menu, then ST25DV, and select specific commands. Select the send interrupt by JPO command, and click on send RF command. ST25DV support a dedicated RF command to generate JPO interrupt to the MCU. As you can see on the LCD display, MCU is detecting the interrupts from ST25DV. Thank you for watching. We hope you enjoyed this video. Keep in mind that ST25DV offers interesting features for your NFC application. See you soon.


Hey everyone welcome back to Six Sister Stuff. Today we're going to make an easy sweet potato casserole using the Instant Pot. So my name is Kristen. I'm Camille. And we are from SixSisterStuff.com. So we have lots of recipes on our website, close to like three thousand recipes. So here on YouTube we love sharing with you our tips and tricks with using the Instant Pot and thanks. Giving's coming around. And so we thought it would be fun to show you some tips and tricks and of course to make it easier as you're cooking that big dinner. Exactly. So let's be honest, this holiday is all about the food. That's why it's on my babes. So we're going to show you how to make a sweet potato casserole using the Instant Pot. All right, shall we get started? Yep, totally. So we have three huge sweet potatoes. The recipe calls for six, but it depends on the size. I would say six small sweet potatoes. Yeah, they wouldn't, if there were six of these they wouldn't fit in there. They wouldn't fit. So we have three large sweet potatoes that were in the years. Now when you cook them in the Instant Pot, you can cook small potatoes for 18 minutes. You can cook medium-sized potatoes for 22 minutes or large potatoes for 27 minutes. We'll put that below so that you can remember that. But really fast with that one, so whether you cook one small potato, it will still cook for the 18 minutes. Or if you use 10 small potatoes, it will still only cook for the 18 minutes.  If that makes any sense. Totally. So we were talking that we think in order to shorten our time, we're going to cut these in half just to make them cook a little bit faster. So we're making them into medium potatoes instead of the extra large. So potatoes are hard. Okay so in the Instant Pot, we put a cup of water in because you of course always need liquid. Then we put the little trivet in. Now there's different kinds of trivets. Whatever your Instant Pot came with, you can use one of those. So we're just going to put the trivet in and then we're ready for the sweet potatoes. They're just going to go right on top of the trivet. So all that we did was wash them. We didn't peel them because after you cook them in the Instant Pot, they're so easy to peel. You just peel right off. So get them all in there. You're going to have to squish them in. It's okay if you have to stack them. Yep, yeah stack is fine. Now if you weren't going to use the Instant Pot or if you didn't have one, you can make these on the stove top and boil the water. But you just want to make sure you peel the potatoes and then chop them up into cubes and then just cook them until they're soft. Now we're just ready to put the lid on. So we want to make sure that you get that little noise and you turn it all the way. It should be able to seal just like that. Then you're going to turn this little knob to sealing. Make sure it's not on venting or it won't pressurize. Kristen's taught us all how to use our Instant Pot. We were all terrified of them. I secretly loved it.  All right, so then we're going to use the pressure cook button or if you have the other kind of Instant Pot, it has a manual button. It's the same thing. So pressure cook and manual, same button. You just want to make sure that it pressurizes. Okay, so after you push the pressure cook button, you're going to go down. What did we decide to do? 22. 22, since we made them into medium potatoes. So after you set the timer, you're just going to let it sit there for a minute and after a few seconds, it will beep at you and have the beautiful on button. There we go. I was always so confused at this point when I was first using my Instant Pot because I'm like, I don't want it to be on. I need it to say warming up, coming to pressure. So now I tell people, you just don't know. Once you see the on, you can walk away. You're good to go. All right, we'll let this cook. So once the timer is done, you'll notice there's a little L. That means that it's done cooking. The timer has gone off and now it's going to start counting up. So right now we're at a four, which is totally fine. We're going to do this little knob over to ceiling. Get ready. There we go. That's where people get scared because that explodes on them. So real fast. Real fast. If you're nervous to do it with your finger, you can always use a spoon to do it so you won't be afraid when it comes. But I'm going to use my fingers too. What about can you throw a towel over it? Okay. Instant Pot says don't throw a towel over it. But I do throw a towel over it. When it starts to like, when you have something, yes, that's starchy, then I throw a paper towel over it so I can just throw it away when I'm done. But just so it doesn't spray all over my kitchen. But they said they don't want you to do it because the food can go back in that little knob and it can kind of mess up the inside. So maybe that's fine. So if it does, if it starts to spew, just let it release on its own. That's that's my best advice. If it starts to spew, just let it do its thing. All right. All right. So right now we're just waiting for this little tiny knob to go down. That means the pressure's out and you can open your lid. And usually I'll hear it like it. Yeah, you can hear a little click. Yep. And of course there we'll start stop coming out. Oh, there it is. All right. Went down. Now we're going to open it. Okay. Just be aware when you open it, it's really steamy. So just watch your hands. So come on, at home, it's a box experience. You can smell the sweet potatoes. All right, we're going to pull the potatoes right out. Now, like we said before, they literally come right out. Because we're making the sweet potato casserole, this is the perfect way to do it because they are, I mean, look at this. We want them to be mushy. Falling apart. Yeah, they're so soft. And it's easy to get off.  This is so easy. Okay, so I'm going to take the skins off, and then I'm going to put them in the bowl. Okay, I'll let you mash. I'll mash, get my work out. Okay, now these are really hot because we literally just took them out. But actually... What's the best way to do this? You don't even have to peel them. I know, they just come right out. And look, you can just like scrape it off of the peel. And you know what, I bet mashing is just going to be super simple. Exactly. If you don't have one of these potato mashers, I love them. I do too. I use it for a lot of things besides just potatoes. When I make jam, I'll do this. Oh, I have to mash a banana for banana bread. I'll do that. That's good. Okay, so there's our potatoes. They're all mashed. Super good. Fast as mashing ever. It really was. So now we're going to add all the ingredients to make it into the yummy casserole. Nice. Don't spray that pan. Yes, I will. So 9 by 13 pan. Yeah. It's a little bit smaller, but it will work. Yep. So I've got three quarters cup of sugar. That's how you know this is going to be good. And then we're also going to do two eggs. So we just crack them and beat them nice before you add them in. That'll be a little easier to mix in. And then we're also going to add in, I believe it, one teaspoon. There we go. I love vanilla. I do too. I love sweet potato casserole because it's sweet, but it is a little bit savory. I agree. And we're going to add in a half teaspoon of salt. Nice. Growing up, I was always so confused why, like, our mom added salt to cookies and other things, but you can tell the difference when the salt's not there. It means that so that you get that flavor depth. Exactly. Okay, is there anything else that goes in here? Oh, the butter. Half cup of butter. Okay. And we melted this butter. Yep. Melted it before. So just make it super easy. So now we just need a big spoon. Okay. Give this a good stir. Mix it all together. Nice. Oh, this is like one of the favorite things. I know. One of my favorite things to have on Thanksgiving. Same. So using the Instant Pot for Thanksgiving will not only save you room, like, on your stove top and other things, but it will just make things go a little bit faster.  And if you only have one oven and, like, you just, that's where the turkey needs to be. So there we go. I know. Between my Instant Pot and my slow cooker and my oven and my stove top, like, I'm using all of them. And kind of cooking everything at the same time. Yep. Ready for the topping. Okay. So to start out, we're going to do a third cup of just some white flour. Okay. Then we're going to do one cup of brown sugar. Next thing we're going to add is just some chopped pecans. About a cup, give or take, just as much as you want. Nice. Okay. And this is one cup. One cup of brown sugar. Okay. And the last thing is just three tablespoons of melted butter. Mix that all together.  Yeah, go ahead. Now it's not going to be, like, super liquidy. We want this to be more of, like, a crumble topping. That goes on top. And when it bakes, it will be a little bit hardened. Yeah. But half of it's thicker. Kind of goes in like that candy coating. The best part. Exactly. Everybody fights over the topping. I know. And now if you really want more topping, you can double it if you want. You could double this. But I feel like this totally is a good amount. Yeah, I agree. So you see how it's kind of coming together nice and crumbly. And then I just kind of sprinkle this on the top. Okay. I don't really pour it on. With a spoon or with your fingers, what do you do? I just use my fingers just because I feel like when I pour it on out of the bowl, it's never quite even. Okay. So we could both do this. Ready to go. Put it right in the middle. Yep. Just kind of sprinkle it. Okay. All over the top. Try to get it all the way covered. Okay. Okay. Ready? This is ready. Yep. Put it in the oven. Okay. 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Okay. Yes. Okay. So 30 minutes and this is baked to perfection. Oh man. Wish you could smell the house right now. I know. It's like Thanksgiving, cinnamon-y warm. All the good things. My husband's gonna be excited. I know. This is really one of our favorite dishes. So this is ready. You could keep it in the oven warm until you're ready to serve Thanksgiving dinner. Yep. You could also make it ahead and reheat it before Thanksgiving. Or even before you cook it. Just put it in your refrigerator. Yeah. Pull it out when you're ready for it. Yep. Cook it when you're ready. Yep. The topping is seriously to die for. But then look how good and fluffy the sweet potatoes look. It looks so good. It really is the perfect dish.

I see that I'm like what are you doing? Pushing me out the path. Alright time for our fast pass. Slinky dog dash is only a 50 minute wait for standby though. That is actually rarely yeah that's really low. Yeah. For you know the newest attraction at Walt Disney World that just opened. Well we have fast pass though so we're going on this side. Sorry sorry. Getting back to 50 minutes first slinky dog is a very good wait time. You know what I mean? Yeah it's really a good time here. Yeah it's pretty slow we're loving it. The parts are just not crowded. It's tolerable. It's enjoyable again. Yes. We're back to the enjoyable season. We decided on row number nine. The back. Because slinky dog is fine to ride. Row number nine because slinky dog is fine to ride. Well I don't like that song. You don't like that song? I think slinky dog gets me. Like it gets me as a person. Yeah like it gets me. Hang on. And then you know it knows how I like the smoothness of a roller coaster. I just feel like we have this bond between me and slinky. Actually I was thinking the same thing about me and the aliens. It knows how I like to just. Hang out and buggy. Let's get out of Toy Storyland and catch some shades elsewhere because there ain't any of it here. Oh except for that light bulb.

This is Sonali. Thank you all for coming out some time for attending today's webinar on the episode 10 of the business X learning series in best scale and value. To all the attendees out there, please type in any questions you might have in the Q&A section and we'll try to answer as many as possible at the end of the session. I would now like to welcome our speaker, Mr. Gaurav Mara, Chairman and Founder of the Franchise India Group, a very warm welcome to you sir. Thank you Sonali and welcome friends and welcome to the 10th edition. As Sonali said, this is a platform powered by a business X. Business X is a company which we started about five years back, which was the intention was that we can help startups to get funding, a lot of even scale ups which are at next level. They also need sophisticated capital and also a lot of companies which are now looking to sell their businesses. This platform also does that so we have the largest resale platform in the country where if you want to value your business and sell the business. And currently that site sell side is becoming more and more in place and rather the buy side is becoming a little bit of a problem. So today as we do every time we take up one topic we do invest, scale and value. Today's invest is the 10th edition and I'm going to talk about something which we are getting a lot these days on our messages and emails and communication, especially on our platforms. There is a big of problem going on in the startup ecosystem. Now the problem is that a lot of startups which were waiting to get them capitalized during, you know, these last three quarters have not got the capital right, which means that this is a time where a lot of things are changing. You know, people are not investing further and I'll give you some statistics which I've gotten to set the perspective of today's discussion. Today's discussion is more about understanding the investment space post this COVID and COVID looks like not ending. You know, we have done a lot of webinars when we started doing webinars in April we were talking a different language. And then we came into June we were talking in different language and now we are in September. There is a different because it's prolonged it's prolonged and it is it looks like that it is not ending soon, which means that the things would what the way we were predicting and the way people were talking about that how do you sustain yourself in three to four months five months. This is not the reality reality is something else. This is much, much deeper than what anybody would have thought. So we need to really set some perspective of what is going on and what what we are doing and especially at French is Indian business sex. How we are advising companies what kind of companies we're not reaching out to really help them out because at this stage, I tell my team, it's better to say no then say yes, because very little you can do. First, a lot of companies so so this is a very, very delicate times you need to really one has to go very deep into understanding businesses and their performances and so on. So let's talk about what is happening 30% of startups I feel face a danger of winding up. So that's a starting point 30% and this number might go drastically high if this is prolonged for another three to four months because I feel that the kind of reserves cash flows capabilities. Early state startups have they will not do that and I'm really surprised at this stage. Why nobody is really talking about it. No, please doing it because we are we are we have a ecosystem we understand what is going on the kind of desperation I'm seeing from start of these days on their on the potential winding up structures. And especially in the cases and the industries where they're deeply impacted, right deeply impacted industries. This is this is very tough period because they can go into potential litigation they can potential issues with their shareholders and other investors. So a lot of that is going on. And I think my advice to mature investors is at this is the time to stand by this is the time to stand by startups and help them in terms of passing this phase, because this is a very delicate face and this is where they need help. 50% overall drop in funding 50% by value terms is a global number. India number would be different but it's going to be around that 50%. There would be also because I feel that they're going to be multiple delays in exits, we're not seeing too many exits going to come sooner, which means that the liquidity also would become problem with at least structured investors, a lot of active investors which is happening in the market, especially in the angel community there was large communities been built over last 1012 years and they were actively investing. I think they would not be doing so much and I can I can see about 40% of active investors would want to pause or consolidate their portfolios before they start investing further because of exits would not come. So fundamentally the liquidity would become problem and people would not expose more in the market. A lot of other shift is also happening because I feel that people are not so much interested in the early stage startups which have commercially go to prove themselves, they're moving into more scale ups where they're already commercial proof of concept is done, business is already floating and they want to really scale up. So a lot of these changes are coming in and if you are an investor, how do you really behave? We are talking what we're going to talk about today that and if you are a startup, how do you really position and do your, justify your stand and how do you really sustain these periods, we are going to talk about this. But I reached out to a lot of investors and I've been reading a lot in these days and trying to understand and fundamentally I've tried to see that what is the four major points and I call the four C's which would differentiate between what I call the week and the strong startups. And I'm not only about talking about startups because I feel that even other businesses, I mean, even businesses which are running would clearly be defined into the week and the strong. Right. And the week businesses would face a lot of issues and the stronger ones would still survive at least sustained with a lot of changes coming through, but they would still survive and come out and and maybe look at growth cycles as they come. The four C's are to me is, first is competence, how competent the team is, how competent, I'm not talking about the business model, the business model might change and do and I think it's about competence of a team. And a lot of businesses which would be able to survive with this period is purely on the competence of the team. And my advice to startups is that you need to really go out and find and hold your people, right. So it's very important at this stage, a good competent team would be able to pass through this structure. Second is collaboration. This is a time where you cannot create everything yourself rather you need to let go a lot of cost sides in your system and start focusing on on areas which you can collaborate. A lot of startups can collaborate with startups, right. And that's something which is which I think should be you should rather reaching out all the day in the investors reach out to your own community or startups and try to collaborate with them, collaborate with even your potential competition. You know, anybody who's there, if you can collaborate at this stage that would make a lot of sense. Compassion is the way it needs to be done, which means that you need to really be compassionate about your stakeholders, internal external consumers, vendors, suppliers, everybody. And there is a broken, broken element everywhere. There is a broken element, almost everywhere. The only thing which can really take it. And I think and finally is for this character. How do you really demonstrate a character at this stage. So four C's before even we start about this is competence collaboration compassion and character, which is very important. Now let's talk about some trends, you know, which very clearly are coming out of the whole ecosystem of, you know, startups and I will pick this 12 for trends, which I would say should be there and looked at. First is buying behavior. You know, the lot is talked about in the buying behavior of consumers how they would behave and continue to behave and some I think are temporary behavior changes and some are permanent behavior changes. And if your business is passing through these temporary and permanent and how you are addressing that, that's very important and house, how fast you are able to adapt that temporary and permanent changes is very important. The second point is change of markets. You know, so focus has to quickly change, you know, so you might have and you need to be dynamic and see where are the pockets of opportunity available in the markets and which are the markets in the industry to be working with companies, which are actually not very focused these days on, you know, main cities they're not focused on historically but metros but now they're putting focus on, you know, BNC cities where they see that consumption is going because franchise in their works with a lot of retail kind of companies, brick and mortar retail and we're getting a good traction in the in the tier three and tier four market where things are pretty normal in that sense. I mean, I don't say completely normal but at least the local consumption is helping them a lot of agriculture money is helping them a lot of other money is helping them. So people are changing quickly the markets and how do you really adopt your markets, like we just doing with one of the hosiery companies out of Calcutta very large company and we just put entire focus on certain pieces in south markets we go into micro market planning and said, let's go and put our adaptation and take the business there because this market is not being captured. So that might give you additional. You know, whatever loss you're getting from a certain markets where you had absolutely reach out to your, what I call the peak market share. If you open up new markets that might help you. A tech adaptation is the fastest change which has happened so our business has adapted to technology and how consumers have actually faster than even the companies have adapted to technology that some changes is very important. Another thing which is going to be happening which is a good side and people have to be very conscious and finding out answers around it. I think a lot of regulations would change a lot of businesses and a lot of businesses which were restricted practices. I think would open up faster now because of compulsion like for example like I feel that there's a startup which has approached me in a online liquor delivery platform right. So while it's very restricted it's a state subject, but everybody's talking about it. Everybody is talking about it. I am sure somebody would realize it and there would be a new market which would come it's a billions of dollars, which can do it's no brainer that if the liquor gets online and becomes in that and almost everybody from Amazon to everybody would like to take that high of that size. So there would be a lot of these independent one has to be very closely seeing what are the changes coming in the regulation. Because in these times, the government, especially in India, which cannot really come up with the financial packages or assistance and so on for always would give relief from regulations. All the regulations would change. So regulations would give comfort and these comforts would create new opportunities for people. So one has to really see what is going to change in this. What is advice? And even if you can correctly through industry lobbies reach out about changes and any changes which can give your business to be and I think that I think would be very important. Another thing which is the fifth point is that scale up with limited burn, you know, if you even on a high burn kind of a structure, how do you pivot the model and see that you don't burn so much. And now that I think if you can save that burn, that would be very important two to three years of sustenance to me. If you're really going to a investor and you can demonstrate that look, I my business is ready for two to three, four years of sustenance. And even if I don't get the round AC series A or B or whatever the stage you are in, you can still sustain the business.  I can clearly see because people now don't want to see six months one year. They want to really see two to three years because this can be very, very deep in that sense. Stabilizing your own cash flows so that you don't have getting to a burn, not beyond six months. So if you're a new investor, if you're going to a pitching entirely or even your investor or a startup or a, you know, any stage, if you can demonstrate to your as a startup, you can demonstrate to your investor that you have very clear vision and clear demonstrate structure that you can stabilize your cash flows in six months. I think there would be a case for investment. You know, riding on stable distribution. This is my seventh point rather than creating it's eight points, which is not rather than creating your own distribution. I see a lot of startups and early stage companies have a very, you know, big lead time in terms of their go to market. And hence they put a lot of burn in that right if you look at how Zemato was built Zemato hired 500 people. These 500 people used to go in the market to approach the restaurant owners, take the database upload the database the cycle took at least three to four years of strong burn to build a ecosystem of and the database and aggregation of these restaurants. These cycles are very, very long and this this creates a lot of cash burn before you really even want to make a meaningful business model and their business model initially by the rating, and they change the business model to home delivery company now, but it all happened because they had this database. Now the truth is, how do you really can do this much faster. How do you can write on somebody's distribution and enable to do that innovation business. Now my ninth point is innovation and which it should be system driven. If you have to always think through and put up a strategy and say what innovation my business you do, and it is not system driven. Then also it will have some breaks. 10th is a very, very linear teams, extremely lean teams, big teams. I know a lot of startups and a lot of businesses, which were doing extremely well. I know the big teams are a big shocker now, because the kind of balance sheet they had and the kind of pressure they had, and kind of a disruption it causes with laying off people and changing that thing and then getting the act back is very, very difficult. It is very, very, I know companies which are running 3000 5000 people are at this stage on a firefighting moment because they on one side, their financial teams are laying off, they want to lay off a lot of people. Another side operations is disrupted because people when they laid off, they, there is no handovers, there is no structure. So there's a lot of challenges which start coming in the business and their smooth operations. A localization is another opportunity which has been thrown to us. You know, I feel that nowadays every day we hear this one app has been banned and this is banned and that is banned. And this is being one driven from system, which is our administration, but also it is happening from a consumer mind viewpoint. I think this creates a new opportunity for Indian entrepreneurs to really look at some of the localization of mapping. Another area which I would strongly look at is there is a broken supply chain today. Everything is broken because the global supply chain is broken, especially in some categories. If you can find opportunities in this broken supply chain, whereas, where are the opportunities say pharma is doing well, but pharma supply chain was broken in some sense, you know, is there an opportunity to create something to fill that gap. Anything which which comes from these 12 different points or all of them would be very interesting to look at from a investor viewpoint. Another thing which is which I would say is that at this stage, a lot of people who are looking for funding, especially startups should not look at just conventional people out there, you should widen it up. Like we are seeing in France in the ecosystem, we have about 2 million investors and when we're talking to these investors, they were earlier coming to us for buying a franchise. Now they don't mind even investing into companies because they see that they want to be part of the valuation because they want to participate. So a lot of new set of investors, I feel would come and that's why we've seen better results. It's like we used to present a pitch deck to the conventional investors, they're not picking it so much. But when we're going to, so to say, retail investors, people who are buying businesses or had, you know, interest to start a new business and giving them that look, you can also participate in investing into a company. They are actually more adaptive. They are much more accepting that rather for a few of the deals have come from only from that side. So we are now going and widening up our investor base. We're going to much larger people.  So their money is not gone anywhere. So they're still investing. So a lot of these new investors are coming in while they take a lot of time because they don't know so much about the businesses and industry. But a new set of investors are coming in the market. And that's what franchising and business sex is doing. Franchising is also becoming very interesting. So franchising is our main subject. So we are working with a lot of startups in helping them use franchising as a way to continue to grow and also get their cash flows in the system. So a lot of startups have come at last, but 30 odd startups have come and approached us and we started working with them from, I think, April to now. And these are in e-vehicles, e-mobility. They are in a lot of these services, a lot of edutech companies have come in. So these companies have come and chosen franchising as a way to continue to scale their business and continue to get a lot of cash flows because franchising is the best example for scaling up without putting your own capital. The third advice I would have for companies which have probably not getting the first two. So if you're not getting investors, you're not even using franchising as a way to get your market share grow or your business continue to grow. Then I feel that you should also look at an exit. Look at an exit. Don't wait for it because exit is also never bad because if you drag too much and you wait for the next wave to come, you might spoil the business itself. Whatever stage you are, if you don't clearly see that you will be able to secure funding and your funding requirement is less than 90 days from a run viewpoint and you don't see that happening very soon. You're not in active discussions. Then I think this is a time where you need to really see. Even if you want to plan your exit, this also is a 90 to 180 day cycle. Or if you have ability to pause, then pause, which means that just don't burn further, stop where you are, continue to keep the assets there and open when the business is coming back and you can handle the business in that. So either of these strategies, one can really use it. But if you really feel that there is a potential erosion which can happen in two to three, four months, don't shy away, open it up and look at exit. And BusinessX is helping a lot of these startups to come to us and businesses to come to us which don't feel that they can survive beyond that and we can look at some buyers to come in. Now, from a timing viewpoint, I personally feel that it's a good time to invest while it depends on the investor, how much liquidity is sitting on. But if you have liquidity and you have some spare liquidity, this is a great time to invest because valuations are absolutely right. There are great companies, great opportunities and opportunities which have also very clearly defined themselves and changed the models which are much more adaptable to the entire thing. They are a lot available in the market today. Rather, I always say that disruption and opportunity go hand in hand. There's never a time where there would be these two not together. So any disruption which happens creates some pockets of opportunities and these opportunities are so great that if you really pride on them in this negative wave, you can really go into a much bigger scale. Current crisis I think has one thing very clear and I've been talking about this for a very long period. And I say, I would like to invest into startups which have a profitable sales structure. I don't like startups which have a loss making sales cycles. So they sell but they make every single sales, they make a loss. So that's something which was out of my mind. And now I think the time has come for startups or businesses which have a very profitable sales cycles. If you have a profitable sales cycles, I think a good investors would like to get into that. Rather, I think we should have a mindset that we should have an opportunity to profitably help others in solving their problems. That's where every time when you ask also, what are you bringing? What are you solving? So everybody tries to solve a problem but they're not profitably solving the problem. And that's something which we are able to do then I think we are much better. Another area which one has to really look at is how do you lock talent and you can unlock your more equity. If you feel that you cannot currently run paychecks and give big salaries, you cannot have your top team staying with you for kind of salary, unlock your equity. There's not a problem. I think reach out to your investors and tell them, look, I want to unlock some equity to retain teams and make them co-founders, expand your founder base. That's also another thing. Last in this part is look at strategic investors rather than financial. I feel that strategic investors would be very, very good because they bring in much more than money, right? Much more than money to really take the businesses to the next level or support their businesses. You have something which needs a next distribution and somebody already has that distribution. Reach out to them, reach out to these companies. So we are working a lot on that side. We are getting people who come to us and say, look, I run a cosmetic brand and I want to really go to somebody who's already having a cosmetic distribution and maybe take another one. So something of that nature is very important because if you are not, if you're just looking at a financial investor, maybe there will be a lot of disappointment. We've seen almost about 100 applique, 100 pitch, we would take it to investors. They're not picking up. They're not picking because they were not interested. It's just about, it's a mindset issue. So it's a lot of liquidity issue, consolidation, companies have not got their, the investors have not got their exit. So a lot of those challenges are creating a big problem. And now I'll give you areas which I have big interest on because we've just about four or five minutes left for our session. I would, I would look at some of the categories which to me would be very interesting. While everybody talks about the new age businesses, which I will also mention, but I have a particular big focus on FMCG, a fast moving goods. I feel that FMCG, any kind of a fast moving products, you know, it can be a packaged water to, you know, this would get a very strong reaction. So like yesterday, I was with the, you know, one of the startups which we are working very closely with and helping them is a, is a beer company in Medusa as a beer, a young guy who was an architect who started a beer company and, and took this business to and I think so I would put a top dollar behind him. These kind of companies are great companies because it's a consumption economy, we have more people than anywhere in the world. And if you have that, if you create any kind of products like that, compelling products and with the distribution becoming more organized, structure becoming organized, you can build a great, you can create a Indian Mithai brand and then can become a bigger opportunity. It can be anything. You can make 1000 crore businesses out of that. I mean, like there is a snack company which has come in and been very, very, it's called the nachos brand. I don't know, I don't remember the brand, but it's become a very big scalable business. So I would put a lot of, you know, emphasis on FMCG fast moving goods kind of opportunity. Edutek is very close to us. Today we are doing a lot of work in Edutek, because I think franchising works very well in that digital entertainment gaming. Well, I have not done too much of work on that, but I can clearly see India can have an advantage, but not much has been done here in India. E-Healthcare, I think that's another area which we are strongly working on. Overall, I think the life sciences, pharmaceuticals, these are kind of areas would always be important. Mobility would be a very, very, very interesting space. So a lot of work we're doing in integration of O2O products, which is online to offline kind of companies. We're doing this fabulous company, which is into online furniture, customized furniture businesses, they open stores, which are actually not having physical furniture, but they just have displays where they would capture your demand and everything is optimized and you get your products customized for your home, delivered to your home. So these are kind of concepts, which we are very, very bullish on to work with. So if you have anything which, you know, you have a startup or you have a particular interest to invest into a startup, which you are looking at a category, you should reach out to us and we'd be more than happy to help you out. Even if you have a brand which you feel that has an interesting idea, which can be scaled through franchising, that also we can really help you. So I'm more than happy to now take two questions. I've already done about 29 minutes. We can run for two, three minutes more and take some questions and then Sonali, over to you please. Thank you so much for another wonderful session, sir and for sharing a great insights. We have quite a few questions lined up with us. So the first question I would like to take is an attendee asks, is it smart to invest in companies which are going digital during this time, but how would we know that they would be able to sustain when things go back to normal? Again, this is a permanent change. This is a permanent change. Digital is not new. We were always digital. You know, the consumer adaptation was slow. So let's be honest. There is nothing which has changed with COVID. You know, we were always digital. This digitalization started not now, it started 15 years back. So it's a very old story. This is a very old story, but adaptation was a slow cycle and adaptation in India is very slow cycle, right? We started building up shopping malls in late 90s, but adaptation to that shopping malls really came in the late. So India takes a lot of time in adaptation. I've been working on modernization of retail, started working in 1999, where we said we will take these mom and pop shops and that. I mean, we are talking right now also so much is still left. You know, it's a 21 years and everybody from Kishore, Bihani is to likes of them. Everybody has come and now he's exited also, but in this cycle also the impact which is created is not even 20% right? So it's 20% of India is still under this mom and pop operations and still not organized and so adaptation to anything in India takes a lot of time. And that's something which I think has been rather an opportunity in last four, five months. Look, I've been using zoom for now two and a half, two years or so, but the way I'm using zoom now is much more right? So my adaptation to this, I used to do it, but only with my international clients when they wanted to come on a call, BC call or something like that, because that time I had no choice. But I never did with my domestic companies. I never did with my victims teams. We always used to have that. So my adaptation was always there, but not the usage was very little. So now the usage is widened, right? And I think that would remain like that. It would, it would not change rather any company which doesn't have a digital viewpoint on businesses. I would not even touch it. Any business, you can be a classic old business also. If you're not digitally active, you're not touching. Absolutely. I mean, people can talk about it. People say, now the pharmacy industry is fighting that, oh, people should not have a medicine at home by e-commerce and viral lines invested into this new company which they invested into, which is a digital pharmacy retail. Actually truth, I mean, these are trade barriers. These are people who create trade barriers for consumer to not get value. I mean, they would have thought much before.  Why not medicines? Medicine is much more needed. And they're 24 hour product from a delivery viewpoint. I think the most compelling product which government should say is 24 hour to be delivered is medicine because this is absolutely necessity. And we have 24 hours of food delivery in India, but we don't have medicine delivery. So that's, to me, a trade restriction. All these restrictions would go away. I think this, you can take it from me. In the next cycle of deregulation, all these industry-related regulations would take away because consumer would push it and new age businesses would push it and government would see a merit in that because they would know that this would create a new cycle of jobs because the need for government is understand the larger consumer base and understand job creation. Anybody can demonstrate these two things. They are only interested in that. They are not interested in if your business is affected for this or other business is affected for that. That's not their call at this moment. Their call is very clearly, who can help me create more jobs? So if business models can adapt that then would be a good idea. Wonderful you said so. So the next question we have is from Mr. Rajesh Seti. He's saying, I seek your advice is how can investors make a decision to invest? Any leads you can advise in the role models? I'm equally keen to review investments and brands as investors. Rajesh, I mean, depending on what is your interest area and how you look at are you a regular investor? Do you build a portfolio investing or this is one-off investment you want to do? And if you have some kind of strategic advantage, I feel that if you're not somebody who builds a portfolio, then don't go too many investments. Just pick up one where you can bring more than what you can bring outside money. If you ask yourself, what is else I can bring on the table without outside money? If that answer is very clear to you, then pick up that kind of a company and invest into that company and work with the founder to create more value. That's the answer. Unless and until you are very, you build a portfolio. Like for me, I would look at only investment if the company can be franchised because only thing I can bring in on business is franchise or licensing. These are two subjects I understand and any business which would not have these two, I would shy away from that investment. The next question we have is, is it fine to replace the founder of a company if the company idea in itself is very good, but it's not reaching its potential due to the inability of the founder in some way? This is a very difficult situation where the business is good, but the founder is not. There's actually other way around, I've seen a lot. The founders are great, but the business is sometimes the modeling is not done so well. But if that is a question and you are already invested into businesses, then this is happening all the time. If you really see what is happening globally, almost all founders have been replaced. The first era of founders are all there and the second era of founders which have came in like a Weaver founder or a Uber founder or a lot of other founders are being replaced because the businesses needed different leadership at that level. And investors on board thought this would be a better tool to do that. And sometimes it can be important to do that decision. I remember the decision when Rahul Yadav who founded Housing.com created a big news and structure and he was taking the business absolutely. There was a huge burn going on, wrong model, the wrong execution. While he was a golden boy, looked at in the market, everybody was talking and favoring him. But from an investor viewpoint, I know how much pain it is if you have a wrong founder who can drive the company to the wrong side. And it just can blow away your everything. So you have to be very conscious. As I always say, there's no investment which is passive. There's only investment is active investment. You have to be active. You might not operate it, but you need to be an active investor. Absolutely sir. I would just like to take up the last question now. The question is, an edtech company approached me and it is doing good, but there's already a flood of edtech companies, especially during this time. What are the points to keep in mind before I decide to invest in it? So edtech is a great space. It's very little penetration done at this moment. And just for your information, this question online would also regulate and it would create a much bigger audience. You can actually get an online certificate and then apply for a job, which currently is not a case. I mean, whatever you study, it's your self-learning, but it doesn't give you any kind of certification which is recognized. But it's very, very close. It's very, very close. This is going to happen. This is again a trade restriction. People who put money in universities and people who put big campuses never liked that. They would never like it because they even get shocked by the thought that people would not come to these campuses. So but truth is, this is another destruction which would happen. It might take three years, four years, five years, but education, not so much in K-12 because K-12 is child development. They need to be environments where they are with their children and so on and so forth. But when it comes to other things, especially coaching, test prep, things of that nature, I mean, you see the environments kids study there. They don't get a basic environment, but they go to these coaching centers where they're sitting on benches and they're doing it. They can work out of home. They can do a lot of environments and these tools would continue to rise. And I feel that regional adaptation in administration at Tech would be a very big opportunity. If you regionalize, if you can take the opportunities to the money pours and the Guatis and the likes of them and regionalize structures, what kind of opportunity you're talking about? What kind of opportunity you're talking about? Thank you so much, Gaurav sir. Thank you for very patiently answering all the questions and thank you once again for your time for the series. Anything you would like to say in the end? Siddharth, I think you're asking for a particular brand which you are interested in. You can reach out to me. I'll check it. I think I will check out with my team. I don't remember that we work with the brand or no, but I can check it for you. Thank you very much. If you have an idea which you want to get investment on, reach out to us. If you have an idea which can scale and franchising can be strategic, reach out to us. If you have a business which you want to exit, then also reach out to us. Thank you very much. Thanks for your time. Thank you so much for your time.
