I started this week with my first guest post for startupSQUARE, a small, dedicated group of entrepreneurs and coders who are in the process of building a web app to help entrepreneurs find co-founders for their projects. They’re interested in solving problems and having a positive impact on the startup community, and I am delighted to be able to help them out with what I can.
The blog entry started from the revelation that the number of start ups does not radically change over the years, despite favorable or unfavorable economic circumstances. The only aspect of these start ups that changes is their increasing success rate, giving us companies such as Wrigley, IBM, General Motors, Walt Disney Company, Zippo , Hewlett-Packard, Toys “R” Us, Microsoft, Symantec, or Wikipedia (for a full list, please see Inc.com’s report).
What makes these companies more likely to succeed? It turns out there are many factors which can influence the success of such startups. You can read the result on startupSQUARE’s blog. Enjoy the read and don’t shy away from leaving us a comment and don’t forget to get your startup started!
