SUMMARY:NEW! The Secret of Being Chosen - How Emotional Connection Makes You The Obvious Choice
DESCRIPTION:Grow Your Brand Through Emotional Connection — Learn How to Create Real Impact\nGrow Your Brand Through Emotional Connection — Learn how to create real impact in a fast-moving digital world where authenticity is often lost. \nWhy Emotional Connection Matters\nIn a digital world crowded with content\, accelerated by AI\, and driven by speed\, brands are producing more than ever\, yet connecting less. As creation becomes faster\, authenticity is often lost\, and many brands confuse volume and performance with real impact. \nThe result is sameness\, visual fatigue\, and emotional numbness.

SUMMARY:Startup Creation\, Rewritten: The Path to Funding and Scale Through Hyper-Specialization
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Specialization: Build an AI Startup Investors Want\n  \nThe most successful AI startups aren’t building broad tools — they’re becoming essential intelligence partners for very specific markets. \nThis workshop explores how vertical and hyper-specialized AI companies attract funding\, scale faster\, and defend their position by solving high-value\, domain-specific problems. \nYou’ll learn how to:\n• Identify high-value niches investors care about\n• Use infrastructure and specialization as a competitive advantage\n• Position your startup for funding or sustainable revenue growth \nSpeakers:\nFred Rouhani (Business Advisor\, YES)\nAna Palacio Vélez (Founder\, Hannai: AI & Economic Integration)\nParisa Golchoubian (Founder & CEO\, Retide Labs) \nDate & Time: Tuesday\, April 14\, 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM \nFormat: Online. This workshop is presented in English. \nCost: $20.00* \nSign Up Here\nAbout Startup Creation\, Rewritten\nStartup Creation\, Rewritten is a three‑part speaker series revealing how the next generation of impactful startups is being built in an AI‑driven world. With smaller teams moving faster and traditional advantages disappearing\, this series breaks down what actually matters now — defensibility\, specialization\, and sharp execution. \nAcross three focused sessions\, you’ll learn practical frameworks\, explore real founder case studies\, and gain decision‑ready tools you can apply immediately. If you’re building or supporting a tech‑enabled venture and want to stay relevant\, competitive\, and fundable in 2026 and beyond\, this series is your roadmap. \nAbout the speakers:\nFred Rouhani (Business Advisor\, YES)\nFred helps organizations make the AI-native leap and equips entrepreneurs with an AI-native startup mindset. His work is built on one simple belief: Technology must serve as a force multiplier for human capability. \nHe sees a world reshaping in front of our eyes with humans and machines co-creating together. \n  \nAna Palacio Vélez (Founder\, Hannai: AI & Economic Integration)\nAna is an entrepreneur and innovator with over 25 years of international experience in innovation\, business development\, and communications\, including the last five years in EdTech. Driven by a belief in the untapped talent of professional immigrant women\, Ana recognized a pattern where highly educated women are often overlooked due to fragmented access\, unclear career paths\, and a lack of professional networks.  She founded Clé Maîtresse and Hannai to address this gap. Her work focuses on using AI and human-centered design to foster genuine multidirectional integration\, moving beyond transactional interactions. Ana asserts that opening doors requires cultural affinity\, shared experiences\, and cultural intelligence\, building confidence and mutual recognition.  Ana aims to unlock the multi-billion-dollar potential identified in leading studies by making the talent of professional immigrant women visible and integrated\, positioning them as essential contributors to innovation\, economic growth\, and social justice now.  \nParisa Golchoubian (Retide Labs\, Founder and CEO) \nParisa is 4xfounder\, social entrepreneur\, engineer and artist\, environmental activist and NextAI 2025 allumni\, runs Retide Labs which is an award-winning Canadian OceanTech startup using AI\, data\, and robotics to map plastic pollution and guide global cleanup. Retide’s platform transforms satellite and ocean data into actionable intelligence for the blue economy.  \n  \n  \nOnce registered\, you will receive an email with login instructions a few hours before the workshop starts.
