Interview by Ariya Chittasy, Director of Engenesis Ventures
Gratitude to Ariya Chittasy, Director at Egenesis Venture, for extending the invitation to interview me regarding my book, "Atomic Scaling"! It was truly delightful to engage in insightful discussions encompassing innovation, startups, and effective team management.
Read some extracts from the interview:
"Startups face a daunting statistic: a staggering 92% failure rate. Thus, investing in a startup that defies the odds and survives is an achievement in itself. However, going beyond that and investing in not just one, but two companies that have skyrocketed to a billion-dollar valuation – that is an extraordinary feat indeed.
Choosing a startup as an investment opportunity requires careful consideration of various factors to mitigate risks and maximize returns. Firstly, evaluating the team behind the startup is crucial. A strong, experienced team with a track record of success and complementary skills is indicative of potential success.
Next, assessing the market opportunity and scalability of the startup's product or service is vital. A startup operating in a growing market with a unique value proposition and a clear path to scalability is more likely to attract investment."
