UVEF Presents: 'Nail It Then Scale It'
—with Paul Ahlstrom!

Thursday, October 13
Noon to 1:30 p.m.
Novell Education Center, Building A

Paul Ahlstrom, Author of Nail It Then Scale It has spent his career in the early-stage startup environment.

Paul will present to us the principles in his book Nail It Then Scale It, which he co-authored with Nathan Furr.

From the Amazon description, we learn of his book:

Why do most new businesses fail, yet a few entrepreneurs have a habit of winning over and over again? The shocking discovery of years of research and trial is that most startups fail by doing the “right things,” but doing them out of order. In other words, human nature combined with our entrepreneurial drive puts us on autopilot to become part of the 70% to 90% of ventures that fail. From Thomas Edison to Steve Jobs, the Nail It Then Scale It method is based on pattern recognition of the timeless principles and key practices used by successful entrepreneurs to repeatedly innovate.

Paul Ahlstrom, Co-Author of Nail It Then Scale It has spent his career in the early-stage startup environment.

Ahlstrom is a partner at the Alta Group and lives in Mexico City. Paul co-founded Alta Growth Capital based in Mexico City, Kickstart Mexico, Mexico’s first seed fund and Alta Ventures Mexico, a technology focused venture capital fund based in Monterrey Mexico.

The Alta group is the latest in a family of funds that Ahlstrom has founded to help more than 100 CEOs around the world grow their high-tech companies.

Ahlstrom previously co-founded vSpring Capital and Kickstart Seed Fund and has led and participated in many successful investments including Altiris, Ancestry.com, Aeroprise, Rhomobile, Juxta Labs, FamilyLink, The American Academy, Reachable.com and CrimeReports.com.
