Startup Diagnostics: Reasons why startups can fail.

Submitted Jan 13, 2015

The talk analyses the common reasons including decisions, ecosystem factors or economic issues which adversely attribute a startup’s growth.

Outline

New and Innovative startups are in the limelight more often than not – but about 80% of tech startups fail in the long run. Even those that make it big initially lose momentum and transcend from a potential empire into an entity of the past. They say you need to eliminate the fear of failure and take all risks to build a great startup, but that does not imply you stop looking for the traps. In this talk we analyze where startups fall short – be it lack of vision or rather bad timings – we will carry out detailed diagnostic of what you need to do or avoid in order to stand out while others perish.

Requirements

An entrepreneur zeal !
