Slide 31 text

There are no Nuclear Engineering Jobs

Slide 32

Slide 32 text

Why can’t software companies hire software engineers?

Slide 33

Slide 33 text

Simple, no one wants what they offer.

Slide 34

Slide 34 text

What does our software industry look like?

Slide 35

Slide 35 text

Colombian enterprise software industry aims to:

Slide 36

Slide 36 text

replicate someone else’s innovation

Slide 37

Slide 37 text

provide customer support for someone else’s software products

Slide 38

Slide 38 text

offer cheap labor to international markets (near-shoring)

Slide 39

Slide 40

ship low quality software…

Slide 41

Slide 41 text

…to government and businesses without know-how on software quality.

Slide 42

Slide 42 text

Why is this industry so unattractive?

Slide 43

Slide 43 text

Even with slight salary increases companies are struggling to attract talent.

Slide 44

Slide 44 text

This industry has 2 problems to solve:

Slide 45

Slide 45 text

They’ve devalued technical abilities

Slide 57 text

A step in the right direction…

Slide 58

Slide 58 text

…with one small problem.

Slide 59

Slide 59 text

Not enough technical founders

Slide 60

Slide 60 text

The “tech” conversation in Colombia is dominated non technical subjects…

Slide 61

Slide 61 text

…tropicalized business models, founders, investment, social media, growth hacking.

Slide 62

Slide 62 text

These are very important…

Slide 63

Slide 63 text

…but you can’t have a Tech Hub without “Tech”.

Slide 64

Slide 64 text

“I think you only need two kinds of people to create a technology hub: rich people and nerds.” - pg

Slide 65

Slide 65 text

“They're the limiting reagents in the reaction that produces startups, because they're the only ones present when startups get started.” - pg

Slide 66

Slide 66 text

“Wouldn't it work to have the government invest in the nerds? No, it would not. Startup investors are a distinct type of rich people.” - pg

Slide 67

Slide 67 text

“They tend to have a lot of experience themselves in the technology business.” - pg

Slide 68

Slide 68 text

“This (a) helps them pick the right startups, and (b) means they can supply advice and connections as well as money.” - pg

Slide 69

Slide 69 text

“What nerds like is other nerds. Smart people will go wherever other smart people are. And in particular, to great universities.” - pg

Slide 70

Slide 70 text

“A great university near an attractive town. Is that all it takes? That was all it took to make the original Silicon Valley.” - pg

Slide 71

Slide 71 text

So… nerds and money

Slide 72

Slide 72 text

We seem to have the money…

Slide 73

Slide 73 text

…we’re missing all the nerds

Slide 74

Slide 74 text

Technical founders are the key to great tech startups

Slide 75

Slide 75 text

Non-technical founders can’t:

Slide 76

Slide 76 text

understand the complexity of software development.

Slide 77

Slide 77 text

empathize with the motivation behind technical skill sets.

Slide 78

Slide 78 text

foresee technical risks or limiting factors.

Slide 79

Slide 79 text

Great technology doesn't guarantee success…

Slide 80

Slide 80 text

…but a healthy eng. org. will make the path less bumpy.

Slide 81

Slide 81 text

A great technology organization delivers business value through technological implementations.

Slide 82

Slide 82 text

Idea + Business talent + Technical talent + $$$

Slide 83

Slide 83 text

TECH REVOLUTION: AN OPORTUNITY

Slide 84

Slide 84 text

We missed out on the industrial revolution

Slide 85

Slide 85 text

Software can transform Latin America

Slide 86

Slide 86 text

Transportation, logistics, government, finance, health, services.

Slide 87

Slide 87 text

We need a balanced conversation about tech

Slide 88

Slide 88 text

Incentives are important

Slide 89

Slide 89 text

Letting $$$ dominate the conversation makes us vulnerable

Slide 90

Slide 90 text

YOUR MISSION…

Slide 91

Slide 91 text

PUT TECH HUB BACK IN TECH

Slide 92

Slide 92 text

BE TECHNICAL

Slide 93

Slide 93 text

JOIN OR START A TECH COMPANY

Slide 94

Slide 94 text

LEARN, EXPERIMENT, FAIL

Slide 95

Slide 95 text

JOIN OR START ANOTHER TECH COMPANY

Slide 96

Slide 96 text

LEARN, EXPERIMENT, FAIL

Slide 97

Slide 97 text

CHANGE THE WORLD (no more photo apps, please)

Slide 98

and maybe make a little $$$
