SUMMARY:Machining & Fabrication Post COVID-19: A Fuzehub Virtual Solutions Forum
DESCRIPTION:New York State is the place to turn\, mill\, drill\, paint\, weld\, finish\, and fabricate. Whether you’re a Mom and Pop machine shop\, an additive manufacturer in global markets\, or an in-house toolmaker serving a single customer\, now is the time to forge new connections – even during COVID-19. \nToday\, many NYS companies would like to shorten their supply chains to reduce risk and shorten lead times. They’re just not sure where to look. Companies also want to find ways to improve manufacturing operations and increase profitability while keeping employees safe and healthy. \nFuzeHub’s Machining and Fabrication Post-COVID-19 Solutions Forum is your opportunity to connect with resources who can help you with these and other challenges. Please join FuzeHub and MIC at Rensselaer for this virtual event\, which is open to qualified companies from across New York State. \n  \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Equity\, Compensation + Cap Tables with Carta via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:One of the first steps in forming a startup should undoubtedly be creating your cap table. Sounds simple\, but cap tables can get complicated quickly. And without a good one\, it’s far too easy to make bad equity decisions when raising money and hiring. \nWhether you’re new to this topic or need a refresher\, it’s often best to learn from examples and the people that think about this every day. Reed McBride\, startup investor\, advisor\, and Strategy & Business Development at Carta\, joins us live to share how a well-managed cap table can help you determine\, negotiate\, and track ownership stakes as your company grows. He’ll walk you through a number of good and not-so-great examples\, the fundamentals and framework to building an impressive cap table\, and he’ll take your questions live. \nReed will also discuss how founders can uncomplicate the process with the right tools and build a cap table that grows with your startup from formation to exit. \nWhat you’ll learn: \nHow to tell an investible startup story through your cap table \nWhat to include\, and what’s best left out \nHow to use your cap table to make smart fundraising and hiring decisions \nHow founders should be thinking about cap tables in today’s climate \nThe most common cap table mistakes\, the effects\, and how to avoid them \n  \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Webinar 6: Managing our Implicit Bias During Crisis: Why it is harder and what to do about it
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free webinar series offering insight on the \n COVID-19 pandemic’s affect on business and how we can move past it. \n\nNo cost to attend; please RSVP below.\n If you are unable to join\, webinars will be recorded and available on our website. \n\n\n \nDate: Tuesday\, May 6 | 8:30 – 9:30am\n Presented by: LB Hannahs\, Ph.D\, Inclusion Development Strategist\, Tangible Development \nProgram Description:\n Implicit biases are the unconscious positive or negative preferences for individuals or groups shaped through your individual experiences. The information\, attitudes\, and stereotypes that inform your unconscious dictate how you take the mental shortcuts required to process the abundance of information you receive at any given second. Managing our implicit biases requires work and daily practice to avoid acting on implicit bias. In moments of crisis the skills we use to manage implicit bias can be overrun by anxiety and stress. In this session\, participants will learn how stress and anxiety impact our ability to manage our implicit bias.  Facilitators from Tangible Development will provide tools and strategies for navigating potential mental traps that could lead to an increase in implicit bias based behaviors and decision-making. \nAbout Tangible Development:   \nBased in Latham\, New York\, we provide full-service customized diversity\, equity\, and inclusion solutions with measurable outcomes resulting in sustainable change. \nOur vision is to ignite individual potential\, humanize business\, and transform organizations. Our work is about real people\, authentic conversations about critical issues\, and innovative solutions that have tangible impacts
