Matthew Tolentino

This week guest speaker, Matthew Tolentino who graduated from Tacoma and work as Assistant Professor within the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. He's founder of Intelligent Platform & Architecture (IPA) and developed technology which helped Tacoma Fire Department problem. The interesting is he had no idea with their problem at first, he just went straight and ask "what is your problem?" Somehow it's a good way to find out. Compare to Erik, I felt like Mathew has more engineering side in him more than business, but he knows the core of the entrepreneurship. He developed his product in term to solve tracking chemical spills and the “lost firefighter” problem. And when he talked about RFID systems and bread crumb trail so they can calculate the situation inside the building before the firefighters going into by transition every firefighter into a mobile sensing platform. By that, the department can get the information location, floor-plan, and vital signs without any threat. it's pretty cool by seeing his product using the same base system as mine as using mobile sensing platform and RFID data to gather the information. I'm very curious about he talked about when he asked Tacoma Fire Department about their problem, then after that, he took 1 years to develop his technology with his students. So the money is base come from his work in Electrical and Computer Engineering department. And last the thing is we all try to protect the ownership but he already gave the ownership to the one who paid it, the only thing he keeps is the credit of the product, somehow a little bit different from the other business.

How to keep your Pandora Box safe!

RFID tags keep track with owner luggage which include RFID tags and app works on devices to get data for customers. The Operating Environment include: Hardware platform: Phone/tablet (IOS/Android) displays the baggage location for passengers. RFID tags broadcast long range to RFID readers continuously to update baggage(s) location. RFID reader which can read RFID tags from 10 centimeters to 100+ meter away to meet the demands of the business environment. RFID Antennas work together with RFID readers to read RFID tags Software: Data will be retrieved from RFID reader using Java language. The Application will take RFID data along with the Google Maps data which will then display the location of the baggage. GPS Google Maps which will be a cooperative database to support location information. For the Hardware platform which has RFID tags and RFID readers are produced from business which will need patent for tag designs and the technology, plus we can hav

The rise and fall of govWorks

The movie started with the graduation scene, and their mission statement. "You have the right to attend a town meeting in your underwear, to me it's very funny, interesting, and caught up my attention though it. Start with the company naming part, Kaleil kept going back and forth with name, he needs to give out the first big decision, then Tom broke the tension and told Kaleil to take the time, walk out, think and come back with the final thing, it's very helpful when you need to stay in calming mind and make decision rather try to push yourself that you need to make a good one right away. The questions they were asked about their business are also what we went through in class. In next time, the thing surprised me the most is the guy making most money is the guy who left first, and the money he asked for is less than what he deserves which is 20%-25% of the company value, which depends on how much he put in the company since beginning. When the broke in happened, th

The Technology Entrepreneur’s Guidebook Review

The content in first ten pages of The Technology Entrepreneur's Guidebook describes Entrepreneur's aspects succinctly. In three pages 2 to 4, the book defines what is Entrepreneur's life, how its path looks like, what difference between Entrepreneur with Opportunist, how things work in Entrepreneur, and what things are important to become an Entrepreneur. After I read all of these, there's an uneasy feeling inside me. It's like I'm facing the ocean, which is so vast that I can drown in it. Furthermore, the feeling is also interested in Entrepreneur field after seeing how freedom it is, how big we can grow if we survive through all the risks. It doesn't really surprise me about five facts prove Entrepreneur is not an easy way to walk on. There's no easy way to reach and get huge reward at the end. To obtain, you have to give up something of equal value, and when you can't find the door, make your own this is how I see Entrepreneur after I read
