Best Time to Start a Startup is NOW!

Successful businesses are built during challenging times! There is anecdotal evidence that proves it! Despite all the negativity and the unnecessary noise, this is one of the best times to start and build your dream business. If you have dreamt or have been thinking of building something that will change lives, businesses and bring joy, NOW is the right time! Ignore the noise and the doomsayers. Reach out to me if you want to discuss plans or want to be part of something interesting and exciting. After all, we have one life!

There are significant opportunities all around us, leveraging existing and emerging technologies and business models. There are experienced talent and investors with dry powder still looking to back amazing founders and teams with execution capabilities. In addition, there are enough playbooks for starting and scaling capital-efficient businesses that may not even need professional investors. There are enough boot-strapped profitable businesses that continue to grow. 

An entrepreneur does not start a business only on the basis of the availability of risk capital. A good entrepreneur knows that she will attract resources if she is focused on scaling and building a sustainable enterprise. A funding winter should not stop you. 

If you have conviction, believe in your product, understand that entrepreneurship is a marathon, and willing to take the risks, this is the time to start building your dream startup. “Fashionable” entrepreneurs who were more focused on fundraising because cheap capital was available will go out of fashion. But there is enough risk capital and appetite still available. 

I am always open and available to meet entrepreneurs and professionals who want to be part of interesting ventures.
