The relationship between the management of what a new company does to protect against the malicious or unauthorized use of electronic data, and the management of what a new company does to scale company value rapidly is important, but not well understood. We use a topic modelling technique to identify the eight topics that best describe a corpus comprised of 137 assertions about what new companies do to scale company value rapidly, manually examine the stability of the topics extracted from the dataset, and describe the relationship between 17 assertions about how to manage cybersecurity in new companies, and the six topics found to be stable. The six stable topics are labelled Fundraise, Enable, Position, Communicate, Innovate, and Complement. We find that of the 17 cybersecurity assertions, seven are related to Position, two to Innovate, one to Fundraise and, one to Complement. Six cybersecurity assertions were not found to be strongly related to any of the eight topics. This paper contributes to our understanding of cybersecurity in the context of a new company that scales its value rapidly, an application of topic modelling to perform small-scale data analysis, and a manual approach to examine the stability of the topics extracted by the topic modelling technique. We expect this paper to be relevant to new companies’ top management teams, members of the networks upon which new companies depend for to scale company value, accelerators and incubators, as well as academics teaching or carrying out research in entrepreneurship.   10acybersecurity10ascaling company value10ascaling initiatives10atopic model stability1 aBailetti, Tony1 aCraigen, Daniel  utimreview.ca/article/132902061nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245009400055210006900149260004200218300000900260490000700269520139000276653002601666653002301692653001901715653002001734653002201754100001901776700001801795856003001813       2020                        eng d  a1927-032100aExamining the Relationship Between Value Propositions and Scaling Value for New Companies0 aExamining the Relationship Between Value Propositions and Scalin  aOttawabTalent First Networkc02/2020  a5-130 v103 aTo scale company value rapidly, a new company needs to develop value propositions for diverse parties, customers, investors, partners, suppliers, employees, and other resource owners, as well as align these value propositions with its scaling objectives. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between value propositions for a diverse set of parties, and efforts from a new company to scale company value rapidly. We review the value proposition literature and then examine the relationships between 19 assertions about value propositions, as well as six stable topics that best describe the SERS corpus, which is comprised of 137 assertions about scaling companies early, rapidly, and securely. Conducting a topic model of eight topics led to six stable topics: Fundraise, Enable, Position, Communicate, Innovate, and Complement. We find that of the 19 assertions about value propositions, four are connected to Complement, four to Innovate, one to Position, one to Fundraise, and one to Communicate. A total of eight assertions about value propositions are not connected to any of the six stable topics. This paper contributes to our understanding of how a new company scales company value rapidly, adding an application of topic modelling to perform small-scale data analysis. The findings are expected to be relevant to entrepreneurs and new companies worldwide.10ascaling company value10ascaling objectives10atopic modeling10atopic stability10avalue proposition1 aBailetti, Tony1 aTanev, Stoyan  utimreview.ca/article/132401917nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245010100055210006900156260004200225300001000267490000700277520120500284653001601489653002601505653001501531653002201546653003201568100001901600700001801619700002001637856003001657       2020                        eng d  a1927-032100aWhat Makes Value Propositions Distinct and Valuable to New Companies Committed to Scale Rapidly?0 aWhat Makes Value Propositions Distinct and Valuable to New Compa  aOttawabTalent First Networkc06/2020  a14-270 v103 aOne of the most valuable resources a company owns is the "portfolio of value propositions" to its diverse external stakeholders, such as customers, investors, and resource owners. In this article, we fill a gap in the value proposition literature by identifying features that make the value propositions of new companies different from other resources, along with factors that make them valuable. A value proposition is conceived as being what enables and improves business transactions between a new company and external stakeholders. We reason that two features in particular make value propositions of new companies distinct: (1) business transactions between a new company and one or more external stakeholders, and (2) investments to create and improve a new company's value propositions that enable business transactions. We provide a definition of "value proposition" and postulate that a value proposition will benefit a new company when it: (1) strengthens the new company's capabilities to scale; (2) increases demand for the new company's products and services; and (3) increases the number, diversity, and rapidity of external investments in the new company's value proposition portfolio.10anew company10ascaling company value10ascaling-up10avalue proposition10avalue proposition alignment1 aBailetti, Tony1 aTanev, Stoyan1 aKeen, Christian  utimreview.ca/article/1365
