+## Intro
+- Why can it be important with big bets in software
+  - If you achieve to create something that is hard it is defensible 
+  - Solving valuable problems in a non-incremental way
+
+- Speak about my experience in the subject
+
+
+If you are in the context of a small company where innovative technology is your core, a research approach could be the right way to innovate for you. Big bets can change the world; and as a tech innovator you probably have this one problem that if you solve it really well things would vastly improve for your company. This non-incremental way of solving problems is not typically what I read about in modern tech-startup-books, but I have found success in pursuing large innovation and I'd like to share my experience on the subject.

+
+
+## Principles
+- Focus at the core, leverage synergies of innovation 
+- Work with smart people, and let them do their thing
+- Validate fast and start small 
+- Don't pay too much in sunk-cost 
+- It is not a project, it's a portfolio
+
+
+## Working with students

+
+## Core message; the one takeaway

+- It is a portfolio of bets, how do they inter-play and what is your core? 
+- Build a team of passionate and creative people, with the ability to communicate their thoughts.
