Toppers can never be successful Startup Founders. Investors don't invest in them because they've never experienced #Failure! But, #Startups are all about embracing failure, learning from it, and growing every day! It's a journey, not a destination! Success in startups comes from resilience, adaptability, and a willingness to take risks! So, don't be discouraged if you're not a topper! Embrace your failures, and use them as stepping stones to success! #Entrepreneurship #Startups #FailureIsNotTheEnd #ResilienceMatters #GrowthMindset #InvestorsWantMoreThanJustDegrees #SuccessIsAJourney #StartupFounders

On a mission to reduce startup failure rates! In Q1 2024, 254 venture-backed companies shut down, the highest in a decade and a 58% increase from last year. This highlights the urgent need for better strategies and support for startups. Let's work together to turn these numbers around! #Startups #Entrepreneurship #BusinessStrategy #Econnovative

Dear Startupper, When founding a new #venture, please make sure to have these pillars: 🏅 Make sure that people have a need for what you are creating, that this is of value to people. 🏅 Make sure that you can attract attention for what you are building. 🏅 Make sure that you will find paying customers. 🏅 Make sure that you can deliver on your promise, create a good product. 🏅 Make sure that you can make enough money with this product to keep going and grow. I've heard of many great ideas, but if they lack of of these pillars, they become an expensive hobby, rather than a business. #Startuptipps #venturebuilder #startupbasics #techstartups #startupsvienna #startupgrowth #entrepreneurship #startupstruggles #earlystagestartups

#Scale or #Fail! 🚀 Something I learned from Ninad Karpe who is a Founder and Partner at 100X.VC. In the world of startups, it's always all or nothing. Either you #scale, or you #fail —there’s no middle ground. If you think there is, then you’re probably not pushing hard enough. A big shoutout to all the #startup #founders #hustling every day. Your efforts are the fuel driving innovation forward. 💪 And for those in the #earlystagefounders looking for a boost—Class 12 of 100X.VC is now accepting applications! https://lnkd.in/e-PdMPKc If you're ready to scale, this is your chance to connect with the right #funding and #mentorship. Tag your fellow #founders or #startups who are on a #funding hunt. Let's help them raise to rise. #Startups #Entrepreneurship #VentureCapital #Funding #Innovation

The journey of a prospective founder is not for the faint-hearted. Creating a startup is undeniably challenging and requires a unique drive. While some may find it easier to pursue other paths, a true venture capital-scale founder is fueled by an unwavering commitment to their solution. Embarking on the entrepreneurial path demands more than just a desire for success; it requires the ability to manifest an idea into reality. It's a journey that only a select few are equipped to undertake. #entrepreneurship #venturecapital #companyformation #startups

Every startup must exist for a reason, a unique reason setting it apart. From saving the environment, to saving mankind, or maybe even filling a market gap, startups exist for many different reasons. Follow our startup founders as they answer the question “what problem is your business solving,” or rather, “why start something new?” Ravi Mathur Satish Kataria #Incubez #IncubezOTT #CubeHacks #StartupIndia #Entrepreneurship #EntrepreneurJourney #Startups #StartupCommunity #StartupGrowth #StartupIdea

Great to see those RealNetwork alums who've gone on to do a startup or two weigh in on the game that it is (Have you seen the chart at MOHAI about the number of startups created by former RNWK alums?). Colin's line is the near-perfect reality, “'Startups are hard. It’s a lot of pain, a lot of stressful situations. It doesn’t always go smoothly,' he said. 'So you have to have someone you can trust.'” One of the common issues I've seen first-hand is how hard it is on you, the founder, then second, on your life partner, and third on your realationship/marriage. And nobody can really prepare you for #3. My hat goes off to every founding couple that makes it through a startup. #startups #MOHAI @Vternal
