[WEBINAR] A Journey from Founder to CEO

Everyone has his/her own dreams, but how many people have the bravery to make their dreams come true? Dream-makers who are entrepreneurs believe that their ideas could skyrocket by creating a startup. They are successful at the first step by founding their own startups. However, the risky reality when it comes to startups is that they’re vulnerable to risk and likely more than we would imagine. On the bright side, 10% of startups are successful each year and know what it takes to survive the odds of failing. About 1% of startups evolve into a unicorn startup.

How about the rest? According to reliable international studies and surveys, about 90% of startups fail and 10% of startups fail within the first year. Across all industries, startup failure rates seem to be close to the same. Anyways, there’s good news, founders who have failed previously have a 20% chance of success while first time founders just have an 18% chance of success. So what can we do to build up successful startups and raise up the ratio of successful startups and unicorn startups? The most valuable thing you can do as a founder is recognizing your downfalls beforehand and learning from other businesses’ failures. Apply this knowledge to starting your own startup.
