                <P><STRONG>MITX Start-Up Clinic:</STRONG> Business Models &amp; Cost Efficiencies<BR><BR><STRONG>Presenters:</STRONG> Doug Levin and Stanley Dolberg, Co-Founders and Principals of Precipice Consulting Services<BR></P>
<P>If you're thinking about starting a new business, you're not alone.&nbsp; But launching a business during a recession presents challenges you should consider carefully.&nbsp; Just ask one of the many companies who didn't make it in the late 80's and early 90's - that is if you remember who they are.&nbsp; Unlike Cisco, Oracle, and Google - all who opened their doors during a downturn - not everyone get's it right the first time.</P>
<P>Don't miss the first event in the new start-up workshop series, conducted by Doug Levin, serial CEO and entrepreneur. Doug will lead clinic attendees through a two-way discussion about business planning for software companies and Internet start-ups, including the popular topic of determining cost efficiencies in today's business environment and given a long-term business model.&nbsp; </P>
<P>Discussion points will include:</P>
<UL type=circle>
<LI>Your company vision, culture, strategies and operations - from zero-stage onwards </LI>
<LI>Your business model, its development, maintenance and evolution </LI>
<LI>Your product and service mix; choosing one or the other, or both </LI>
<LI>Building your business, finance and implementation models for today and the future </LI>
<LI>Cost savings in your business given today's economic conditions </LI>
<LI>And more.</LI></UL>
<P>Starting a new business will change your life. Make sure that change is for the better with proven advice on successful strategies for small business, practical guidance on partnerships and how to incorporate a business, a run-down of financing options, and more.</P>
<P>This free event is for entrepreneurs only; seating is limited and you must be engaged in creating a consumer start-up to attend! </P>
<P>The programs in MITX's new Start-up Clinic series were designed to provide unique content specific to Consumer Internet Start-ups, based on attendees' demands.&nbsp; Future topics will include: founder-co-founder dynamic, culture, hiring, fundraising, and operations - so stay tuned for the next event in this exciting new series, and let's get it&nbsp;started.<BR></P>&nbsp;
