Startup Quotes

“The entrepreneur’s mind-set is completely different to the employee’s mind-set. The entrepreneur finds it abhorrent to conform to organizational norms, whilst the employee finds joy and stability in all that’s tried and true. It’s not that one’s wrong and the other is right. It’s the mind-set that differentiates the two.”

“If you’re looking for inspiration from Uber’s notorious magic, consider how it took an existing product, used existing technology, and delivered it to existing markets. Yet, its business model remains hard to replicate—and that’s the real magic trick. As the old Silicon Valley saying goes: If you can’t creatively turn $1 into $10, why do you expect to turn $1 million into $10 million?”

“How on Earth was Uber, with its reported $10 billion loss from operations since 2016, and other gigantic creatures of the Internet Economy, able to flip the tedious “viability-profitability-expansion” route into an entirely new direction—“viability-expansion (maybe) profitability”? Elementary—by ensuring consistent financing or, simply put, by having access to capital on the fly and turning their business models into platforms instead of building traditional pipes, so that acquiring new businesses is not a question—it is the answer.”

“The pivot is the official startup way of saying, “Well, that didn’t work, so now we’re going to pretend this was the plan all along.” Investors are conditioned to love pivots: because it means you’re still trying, even if you have no idea where you’re going. So go ahead, pivot like your startup’s life depends on it, because, spoiler, it probably does.”

“Simply put, we need plenty of risk capital flowing into the real economy and real startups solving real problems. You see, if we’re living in an environment where small businesses—the real engines of the economy and job creators—are dying faster than they are being born, you start to wonder what’s wrong with a financing system that is meant to deliver the oxygen for new ventures. Do you hear me, derivatives’ traders? By the end of 2019, those guys scored $559 trillion – which would be equal to almost seven times the world total GDP that same year. What can go wrong?”

“While Indian CEOs in Non-Indian companies are getting all the praise and admiration from the Indians, startups born on Indian soil remain unrecognized - this is not a matter of pride, it's a matter of shame, especially for a population whose history is replete with mathematical, scientific and philosophical achievements.”

“You cannot be an entrepreneur, unless you are a good provider. As a 9 to 5 person, your family is your responsibility, as an entrepreneur the families of your employees are your responsibility, as well as the welfare of your customers or clients. Today who abandons their family for their entrepreneurial dream, tomorrow will abandon their employees when that dream goes bankrupt.”
