Think about the University Alumnae Networks, the value that they are able to generate. But how to measure it, are you able to quantify this value? 2) With social networks (Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, Angel.co, Google+ etc.) we do have those information on a digital base daily and automatically updated, so far those data didn’t exist. So it is a new way of analysing and using the big amount of data we daily generate on the social networks.

STN SOLUTION http://www.startup-network.org/ We think it is hard to get information just looking at the graphs, reason why STN developed his algorithm to measure on daily base a set of network KPI based on time varying complex network analysis formulas. STN KPI: 1) Network Efficiency 2) Clustering & Brokerage 3) Work Mixing 4) Age Mixing 5) Location Mixing Reduce your transac.on cost and boost new business opportuni.es
- 13. NETWORK EFFICIENCY Innovative ecosystems tremendously benefit from the free flow of information and ideas! Those ideas move in the social network structure like cars on the road system. Few and sporadic interactions between people are like slow and small roads that trap cars by creating bottlenecks, congestions and inefficiency. On the contrary a dense network of social interactions with many long-range connection are like highways. On "social highways" ideas flow fast and easily reach any person in THE NETWORK. This free and tireless flow tremendously increases the chances of recombining ideas into new disruptive innovations and give access to new opportunities. High value of network efficiency show us how information are flowing among our network of relationships. Reduce your transac.on cost and boost new business opportuni.es
- 14. CLUSTERING & BROKERAGE An high value of clustering reflects the presence of a cohesive group around you. High-value of clustering foster cooperation between your contacts and the sense of belonging to a group. On the other side high value of brokerage reflects your ability to be connected within different communities of people from different location, work background and age. Usually the CEO or the Sales man will have high value on brokerage as he need to be in touch with different people on the other side the CTO or the developers have higher clustering values as they are more focused on a topic.

- 15. NETWORK MIXING Mixing measures the diversity among your contacts under three dimensions: ages, locations and professional background. If your contacts share the same location, skills, and ages they are very likely to provide you the same unique point of view and your Mixing values are lower. Those, like the Network Efficiency, if low reflect the lower probability to access new information, knowledge so opportunities. Reduce your transac.on cost and boost new business opportuni.es
