Abstract
Less than 1 of 20 tech companies, public and private, succeed. Less than 1 of 500 tech startups get funded by VCs. What are some of the stuff in the minds of some of the successful entrepreneurs? How do some of the top investors view the portfolio companies they bet on? How do people build great companies? There is no magic. The vital ingredients include the quality of people/team, strategies, innovations that customers love and the rest is execution. This talk touches on perspectives in building a startup hopefully into a great company.
