What makes for a successful startup?
Dear readers, Before we start today’s class, here are some of our upcoming meet-ups and online events - Mumbai on Oct 20 Discussion on a16z's Techno-Optimist Manifesto on Oct 20 Delhi on Oct 20 Startup companies solve many of today’s most challenging problems, such as the decarbonisation of the economy or the development of novel life‐saving vaccines. Startups are a vital source of innovation, yet the most innovative are also the least likely to survive. The probability of success of startups has been shown to relate to several firm‐level factors such as industry, location and the economy of the day. Still, attention has increasingly considered internal factors relating to the firm’s founding team, including their previous experiences and failures, their centrality in a global network of other founders and investors, as well as the team’s size. The effects of founders’ personalities on the success of new ventures are, however, mainly unknown.
Network Capital School
Most schools around the world are designed like factories. They follow the assembly line model and train students for taking tests, following rules without questioning and competing for meaningless goals.
At the Network Capital School, our mission is to help all school students build their category of one.
We do this by
Providing 1:1 mentorship by Oxford graduates and PhD scholars
Helping students work on projects that sharpen their critical thinking, public speaking and writing
Inspiring students to build a portfolio that can be presented along with their application to top universities
Have a wonderful week ahead.
