Why Not?: Awesome is as awesome does
http://putt1ck.blogspot.com/2013/12/awesome-is-as-awesome-does.html
IS Management Professional turned entrepreneur. CEO and co-founder of TwoTen. Saturday, 28 December 2013. Awesome is as awesome does. There's a thing going around that the number of companies that receive investment doesn't alter the number that go on to be "awesome companies". To quote:. 8220;The tech industry creates roughly 10 awesome companies per year. independent of.how many companies are funded". Mike Maples, Floodgate Fund. Which is, surely, truly awesome.

For some months now I've been wondering how med-tech startups were able to claim such huge global market sizes, and then I read this post from EC1 Capital.

Total figu...

IS Management Professional turned entrepreneur. CEO and co-founder of TwoTen. Monday, 30 September 2013. When is a startup not a startup? Startup news: Zoopla wins "Most promising European tech startup of 2013". It's been launched for nearly 6 years. Turns over something north of £30m, spent millions on acquisitions, been through a merger, employs 100s of people, and has £10m cash in the bank. A length of time in the market place; should that not be relevant to the definition of a startup? Ahh, wait....
