About Me
So you are here
because you like me and my blogs and interested in startups -- more
specifically, software startups.
Many of you are doing
a 10 to 7 job but also dream of starting your own startup and face many
challenges while stepping into this competitive world. That's why I am here to
guide you for every bit of this journey.
Entrepreneurs and
startup founders wear many hats because it is expected of them. They start out
with organizing the company, then act as the first salesman, fund-raiser,
paymaster, quartermaster, logistics, project manager, tech guy, and many
others.
For technology
startups, the founder is also sometimes the CTO and / or lead programmer, as
well as the accounting and finance person. With a product in the pipeline, the
founder also has his hands in the creative aspects such as product design,
marketing, and branding.
Besides the
day-to-day management and operations, an entrepreneur is also expected to be
the go-to person when it comes to the fund sourcing.
The all-around nature
of the entrepreneur is mainly because there is nobody else to do the job.
Either the job has not yet been filled, contracted out, or there is not enough
capital to cover a full-time employee for the role.
To keep up with the
requirements of the job, the entrepreneur has to know something of everything.
This can be accomplished by being involved with the right people who’ve had
enough practice and excellent work experience, by working with the right people
such as professionals/consultants, or even by outsourcing some business
functions to a third-party provider.
Moreover, they can
also keep their skill set updated with the latest trends in startups by picking
up new and valuable skills. Fortunately, there are a lot of blogs aimed at the
entrepreneur, which can greatly help startup founders keep up with the latest
trends and learn new skills necessary for the job, or roles necessary for the
business.
The best sources of
advice about startups are entrepreneurs who have worked and are working with
startups.
