Steve Jobs
Passion
Optimism
Visualization
10,000 applications
511accepted to this accelerator
37 sold or worth more than 40 million
What is happening?
90% - innovative startups fail
80% - VCs fail Startup Accelerators are following the VC pattern
Statistics
Are they focused on creating
value?
or financial performance
But do VCs, Incubators, and
Accelerators really address the
reasons why startups fail?
It needs to change…
‒ Lack of competency ‒ Not understanding how customers buy ‒ Conflicts with partners or investors
Top three causes for startup
failure
The key to
successful startups
‒ Passion ‒ Optimism ‒ Visualizaiton ‒ Fostering a startup culture ‒ Competency Building
Each of these causes can be
eliminated through deep & applied
skill and knowledge development
