LevelUp is an event for people that are interested in technology, startups, entrepreneurship, community building, and networking in the Las Vegas Valley. LevelUp gives an opportunity to startup founders to present their companies to the community with immediate feedback, support, and mentorship from a panel of successful investors, entrepreneurs and other ecosystem leaders. The goal is to elevate each participant to the next level.
For 90 minutes the panel will hear presentations from local startups and then give feedback, ask questions, guide the founders to immediate next steps and even possibly invest in their business.
In addition to watching presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to mingle with other participants. It’s an evening to learn, connect, support, share, mentor, and inspire one another.
LevelUp is free and open to anyone interested in entrepreneurship regardless of their background or the stage of their company. We aim to facilitate a friendly and encouraging environment.
This event will be held periodically and will help grow the ecosystem by bringing the entrepreneur communities together to share entrepreneurial excitement, energy, and encouragement.

This week in founder bootcamp we cover business models and go to market strategies.
How will your startup solution earn money from your customers? Are you selling directly, through a distribution channel, with a subscription — what it the best model for your solution? Does your pricing and model align with the value being delivered? Are your customers used to buying this way – or is it something new to the market?
How will your customers learn about your solution? How will you take it to market? Does your solution have network effects? Will you use a product or customer led growth GTM model?
Your investors will want to know you’ve got this topic covered before they invest. All of these topics and many more questions are covered in this week’s session.

Sip & Learn | The Art of Failure - presented by Rick Winfield | Oct-18 @ 5:30pm | Reno
2023-10-18 17:30 - 18:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
The Art of Failure
Speaker: Rick Winfield

Location: TBD in Reno
Reservations: email audrey@startupnv.org
“The Art of Failure” Do you know what we call a failed entrepreneur in the US? Experienced!” – Steve Blank
Failure is the inevitable consequence of experimentation, and entrepreneurship is a giant experiment to see if one can find a repeatable, scalable business model. Rick will share anecdotes from his adventures in the business world, in the mountains, and on stage on how to not only survive failures but how to turn them into strategic advantages.
Rick is a lifelong entrepreneur, adventurer, world traveler, and musician. A descendent of Caribbean Pirates on his Dad’s side – and a Chinese Student/Businessman (on Mom’s side), Rick’s job titles have morphed from CTO to Founder, International Ski Bum to College Professor, Angel Investor to Cancer Survivor. The common thread throughout his life has been a fascination with exploring what it is that makes adventurers, explorers, improvisational musicians, and entrepreneurs “tick.
Come out have a beer or wine, do a little networking – and listen to Rick’s wisdom on the topic of trying, failing, getting back up and trying again… never give up!

This week’s session is about:
Legal Strategy and Entity Formation
Get your documents and formations right the first time. It’s expensive, time consuming, and risky to get it wrong and change it later. Should you be a C Corp, S Corp, LLC, LLP, sole proprietor, or ? Should you form in NV, DE, somewhere else? Should you use a registered agent, a lawyer, or DIY? What are the advantages of each formation type, location, and professional help? How should you treat the capital you invest in your startup? Should you care about QSBS – will your potential investors care? … all of this and much more.

This week’s topic is:
Startup Markets: TAM | SAM | SOM.

Register first, then log-in 2 minutes early and attend via zoom at: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85157882535 … or for more fun and great networking attend live and in person in Las Vegas, then go out after the session with your new colleagues… walk to some cool spots in the Arts District (10 min walk) or immerse yourself in the awesome weirdness that is the Fremont Street Experience.

What the heck is TAM SAM SOM?
TAM – Total Addressable Market. The worldwide market for your startup’s specific solution. Be sure to get the category correct. If you are selling a SaaS / software solution to insurance companies to help them manage their broker network, your TAM is NOT all insurance sold in the world. It is software (SaaS) sold to the insurance industry. TAM is a number that you research using market focused large databases. In Nevada, as a Nevada resident – you can access these large, costly databases through UNLV and UNR — ask the research librarian for assistance with access. They will not do the work for you, but they’ll help you get started… on the library computers or on your laptop while you’re connected on the university wifi.
SAM – Serviceable Addressable Market. SAM is a subset of TAM. Typically, SAM is geographic, industry, or demographically focused. A common SAM is the US market subset of the world wide market. SAM could also be a subset by age, gender, income level, or some other demographic combination. SAM is a number you research the same as TAM.
SOM – Serviceable Obtainable Market. SOM is your “bottom up” sales forecast within your SAM for 3 years. Do not use a percentage of the SAM. Year 1 should be month by month. Year 2 should be quarter by quarter. Year 3 and beyond can be calculated by year. Sales forecasting for a new offering can be difficult and uncertain, but it shows your investor how you’re thinking about it. It also shows your potential investors how much of the SAM you can conquer in better detail than using a “simple” (lazy) percentage of SAM. The bottom up forecast forces a month by month view which will imply certain go to market tactics.
TAM, SAM and SOM should be stated in dollars (currency). It is helpful to show people, companies, seats, widgets, or whatever your sales units are — but you must state it in dollars (currency).
It is commonly shown as a stacked VEN diagram:
