Is Your Startup a Sustainable Business?


Welcome to the Workshop – “How to be an entrepreneur in a week?” – Is it how you build a Sustainable Business??!!

Well, unfortunately, with the rise of the startup ecosystem in the country, there has been some deleterious blend of this kind of mentality as well. How can someone teach the rules of being an entrepreneur? On top of that, how can someone fix a time frame for the same? This maybe because we see several self-proclaimed entrepreneurs around us nowadays. Many of them are starting a so-called company just to get the tag of “founder”, “co-founder”, “CEO” etc.
People, today, before starting up claim to build the next “million-dollar company” and after starting up run after VCs and Angels.
             Startups may raise funds in bulk, but VCs are certainly not there for providing help. They have poured money into a company to look forward to an exit. If your company can’t provide that, then it is certainly just another bot in the system
Employees come first! Not the VCs, not even the customers! Your employees are the one who hold the same vision as you and take your company to the next level – to the level YOU desire. If you can’t keep your employees happy, you are certainly not the deserving one in the race!
             Take your startup to a sustainable position and then try to get funds for investing in ‘real’ things. Your startup is like your child which you love the most. If you work hard with insight, the result will be much sweeter than you expected.
