TECH STARS ARE THE NEW ROCK STARS
• Startup is a temporary organisation focused on finding a repeatable and scalable business model.
!
• To achieve success, founders and investors have to take risk in order to capitalize on a market opportunity they have identified.
!
• Turning a Startup into a sustainable and monumental company is a long term process. In this process there are several steps (areas of risk) a startup has to take.
!
• There is no formula for achieving success, but there is a model for identifying and addressing areas of risk.
Startup Risk Model
Disclaimer• Luck, defined as a set of favourable circumstances might be the sole
reason we have monumental companies in the social and gaming space.
• Counting only on luck, might significantly limit the chances of our startup achieving success. There are only that many Facebooks, Whatsups, Instagrams and Rovios of this world.
• The probability of building a $100M company are much greater than chasing a $1B unicorn.
• Business models focused on software are constantly producing sustainable companies which are growing as information technology expands to new industries and market segments.
