Episode Description
Today’s buzz: Tech startups. Certain entrepreneurs soar to success from the get-go. Others, not so fast – or at all. According to a July 2013 survey at www.statisticbrain.com, just 37% of information industry startups are still operating four years after launch (Entrepreneur Weekly, Small Business Development Center, Bradley Univ., Univ. of Tennessee Research). To kick-off our new SAP Startup Focus with Game-Changers Radio series, we’ll explore the critical factors that make a startup truly unique and primed for stardom in the highly competitive startup world. The experts speak. Frantisek Vrabel, Semantic Visions: “True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new." (Antoine de Saint-Exupery) Marty Pejko, Centerity: “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” (Albert Einstein) Manju Bansal, SAP: “When all is said and done, there is more said than done.” (Aesop) Join us for Why This Start-Up Now?
