...Eric Ries author of The Lean Startup, says that those working for startups are doing so “under conditions of extreme uncertainty.” In spite of this uncertainty, job satisfaction remains high. This may be because startups “stand for culture and fun, just as much as work,” with 93% feeling valued within their team and by company founders, according to this study. Employee satisfaction is considerably lower in more established businesses. According to a global Gallup survey, unhappy employees outnumber happy employees on a scale of two to one. A staggering 63% of workers are “not engaged,” with a further 24% being “actively disengaged.” Only 13% are “engaged” workers who enjoy their work. This means that a total of 87% of workers are emotionally disconnected from their workplaces and less likely to be...

...1. Methodology customer development The five principles of the lean startup Enterpreneurs are everywhere, my denition of a startup: a human institution designed to create new products and services under conditions of extreme uncertainty. That means entrepreneurs are everywhere and the Lean Startup approach can work in any size company, even a very large enterprise, in any sector or industry. Entrepreneurship is management, A startup is an institution, not just a product, and so it requires a new kind of management specically geared to its context of extreme uncertainty lean thingking It taught the world the diference between value-creating activities and waste and showed how to build quality into products from the inside out. The innovator dilemma Innovation is a bottoms-up,decentralized, and unpredictable thing, but that doesn’t mean it cannot be managed. Validated learning is the process of demonstrating empirically that a team has discovered valuable truths about a startup’s present and future business prospects. It is more concrete, more accurate, and faster than market forecasting or classical business planning.

By reducing all waste in these chains, company will get more benefit. These benefits are speed and responsiveness to customers, reducing inventories, reducing costs, improving customer satisfaction, and also Supply Chain as a competitive weapon. Supply chains that want to grow and continue to improve must adopt lean. Lean is a cooperative process for survival and for success. Lean concepts require an attitude of continuous improvement with a bias for action. A lean supply chain is proactive and plans for the unexpected by positioning all resources for effectiveness. Downturns in demand can be addressed without layoffs or significant productivity losses.

...Startups live and die by their ability to drive customer acquisition growth. Of course many startups are doomed to failure and can’t grow because they never reach product/market fit. But even with product/market fit, traction is tough. Startups are under extreme resource constraints and need to figure out how to break through the noise to let their target customers know they have a superior solution for a critical problem. Breaking through the noise is very difficult when well-entrenched companies have the resources to dominate traditional channels. The best a startup can hope for in traditional channels is to siphon off a few early adopters that are always on the look out for the latest emerging solutions. This resource-constrained desperation is exactly the scenario that Malcolm Gladwell suggests leads underdogs to extreme innovation. Desperation Leads to Innovation For meaningful growth, startups must completely change the rules of traditional channels or innovate outside of those growth channels. They are too desperate and disadvantaged to adapt to the old rules of marketing. They have to dig deep creatively, and relentlessly test new ideas. If they don’t figure it out quickly, they will go out of business. Some people would just call this marketing. I call it growth hacking. And the best growth hacks take advantage of the unique opportunities available in a connected world where digital experiences can spread rapidly. Since most growth ideas fail, it...

For example women are still thought of as stupid and inferior, in the 1920’s men did not want women to vote because they thought women would cause a “... backward step in the progress of civilization”(Antis Document).

...The Petal Diagram I’ve always thought of my startups as the center of the universe. So I would begin by putting my company in the center of the slide. In this example the startup is creating a new category – a lifelong learning network for entrepreneurs. To indicate where their customers for this new market would come from, they drew the 5 adjacent market segments: corporate, higher education, startup ecosystem, institutions, and adult learning skills that they believed their future customers were in today. So to illustrate this they drew these adjacent markets as a cloud surrounding their company. (Unlike the traditional X/Y graph you can draw as many adjacent market segments as you’d like.) Steve Blank Your startup at the center Then they filled in the market spaces with the names of the companies that are representative players in each of the adjacent markets. Ads not by this site Steve Blank Fill in the segments Then they annotated the private companies with the amount of private capital they had raised. This lets potential investors understand that other investors were interested in the space and thought it was important enough to invest. (And plays on the “no VC wants to miss a hot space” mindset.) Steve Blank Show capital raised Finally, you could show the current and projected market sizes of the adjacent markets, which allows the startups to have a “how big can our new market be?” conversation with investors.

He spotted the trend of the technology industry and chose to start his own business at an early age. So far he has opened a number of businesses and have achieved success. His visit opened my eyes to the world of entrepreneurship, especially with regards to innovation. Since then, I began to pay attention to domestic startups, as they are brimming with creative, innovative energy. Their successes motivated me to develop my own entrepreneurial qualities in preparation for the real world.

Dropbox provides client software for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android, iOS, BlackBerry OS and web browsers, as well as unofficial ports to Symbian, Windows Phone, and MeeGo. Is there a market? Dropbox has received a total venture capital funding of US$257.2 million from several investors, including Y Combinator, Sequoia Capital, and Accel Partners. In 2011, tech entrepreneur Praveen Yajman speculated that Dropbox's valuation was more than $1 billion.[27] TechCrunch, VentureBeat, Business Insider, and Financial Post speculated that Dropbox's valuation could be up to $5 to $10 billion.

...Trend in Entrepreneurial Activity and Funding During Fluctuating Economic Cycles Introduction Global capital markets have been greatly impacted by the current economic climate. This has created significant challenges in startup capital and infusions of capital from Venture Capital funds or other types of angel investment. 2011 was, indeed, a transitional year for small businesses around the world. The primary issue is that it has become clear that credit will remain less available and that many institutions will remain risk-averse. A simple assessment would be that there was a hope that credit would start flowing again and that investment would be less restricted and it has now become clear that this is not a short-term problem. There was a time when a solid business plan was enough, then having a background in startups became desirable, then having the ability to prove one’s concepts became more important. In order to better understand what an entrepreneurial organization, especially a small business, needs to do in this current economic cycle, this research will look at numbers and types of market entrants, initial public offerings, funding opportunities, and ways to enhance profitability. This research will also examine how the fluctuations of various economic cycles have an impact on funding sources. The funding sources of angel investment, venture capital, private equity, and bootstrapping will be considered, leading into an understanding of the perspectives of the various...
