Don Ross, Managing Director & Founder, HealthTech Capital | 360 Degree View of Funding
While investment in the digital health space has increased significantly over the past few years, raising capital by early stage digital health start-ups remains a tall challenge. There are far fewer routes to explore compared to the digital/social media space where angel and super angel funding is more readily available from alumni networks of Google, PayPal, LinkedIn, Facebook and a number of high profile incubators.
The current challenges are likely to persist as there appears to be few -- if any-- blockbuster VC-backed exits on the horizon in the digital health space which could unleash capital to reinvest in the eco-system. What must start-ups do in this environment to succeed? How should they adjust their operating plan? What can change the current state? And what types of funding should digital health companies utilize at different stages of growth?
Hear first hand from industry veterans from all sides of the funding puzzle what they expect, what they’re looking for and how they can help.

Managed to find a quiet passageway at Goodge Street (as far as I remember!) underground station. I blended 3 shots for this HDR.
Managed to spot this beauty whilst moored at How Hill on the Norfolk Broads, but only had time for one shot before it flew off.
Here is a slide from a recent talent strategy presentation at ZURB. We're big on opportunity and it's the quality we like to see in our Leads.
This particular diagram highlights three ways a Lead can manage at ZURB. Although all three ways are necessary to make our organization tick, we want to err on the side of 'opportunity'. It's the difference between good stuff happening in 'hours' versus 'weeks'.

I've never had Japanese classes but I managed to pass it.
I haven't studied Japanese since this so it's time to start it again.Maybe I'm going to search for a teacher , I need someone to talk and someone that can prepare me for the next level.

Audience member during Question and Answer period.
In 2015-16, the Standing Panel on Impact Assessment commissioned a set of studies to document the adoption and impact of five well-recognized natural resource practices that were developed, adapted, and promoted by CGIAR centers, research programs and its partners. The practices—conservation agriculture, fertilizer tree systems, alternate wetting and drying (AWD), integrated soil fertility management (ISFM), and micro-dosing of fertilizer—were all expected to enjoy large-scale acceptance among smallholder farmers where they were promoted in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Results have landed and they are sobering. The low adoption rates reported by these studies provide an important reality check on the returns to some natural resources management (NRM) research investments, and suggests the need to rethink the impact pathways through which NRM research is expected to contribute to sustainable development outcomes—outcomes that nonetheless depend acutely on changes in the way we manage scarce natural resources.
This policy seminar provides insights from economics, integrated landscape strategies, and geospatial analytics to recommend ways forward for NRM research that most effectively contribute to the development of sustainable production systems, while also highlighting innovative methods and tools to evaluate adoption and impact more precisely.

El Nido-Taytay Managed Resource Protected Area (16/05/2006)
The El Nido-Taytay Managed Resource Protected Area is located on the north-western tip of the mainland of Palawan. In 1991, the Government of the Philippines proclaimed Bacuit Bay as a marine reserve. In 1998, the protected area was expanded to include terrestrial ecosystems and portions of the municipality of Taytay. It is now known as El Nido-Taytay Managed Resource Protected Area, which covers over 36,000 hectares of land and 54,000 hectares of marine waters. It contains towering limestone cliffs, beaches, mangroves, clear waters, unique forests over limestone and neat farmlands. It is home to five (5) species of mammals, including the Malayan Pangolin and 16 bird species endemic to Palawan including the threatened Palawan Peacock Pheasant, the Palawan Hornbill and Palawan Scops Owl. Bacuit bay is also home to the dugong, dolphins and marine turtles, many of which are threatened species. Colorful coral reef fishes are found here. Some of these are the: butterflyfishes, parrotfishes, wrasses, triggerfishes, angelfishes, surgeonfishes, damsel fishes, emperors,snappers, groupers and rabbit fishes.
In 1984, the then Ministry of Natural Resources issued a MNR Administrative Order No 518 establishing a 36, 000 hectare area in North-western Palawan as a Marine Turtle Sanctuary The El Nido Marine Reserve was expanded by virtue of DENR Administrative Order No. 14 Series of 1992, upon recommendations of the El Nido and Taytay Municipal Mayors to address livelihood opportunities for fishers. Proclamation No. 32 dated October 8, 1998 was passed to Congress for deliberation. Since 1989, several different government and non-government programs and projects have been introduced in the area.
