Start, Raise, Sell-Startups


Startup is the word we regularly catch up in business magazines and online news websites.  It is an unknown question that they are really focused or media are developing its growth for advertisement purpose.  Mostly IIT, IIM faces come to limelight.  The reason behind the startup is to start a new ground separating from the pillars like TATA, RELIANCE groups and to show their own potential.  But they expect their money as investment in various forms like capital funding or finally sell their dreams to them.

Successful Startups are started from the persons who has experience in top MNCs or freshers from tier I colleges.  People also start from Non MNCs and Non IIT, IIMs, but they are not focused in media.  Some struggled and flashed outside.  Startups raise funds like seed, series A and so on.  Then sell it, become angel investors by investing in other ventures or start again the entrepreneurship journey.  If they are not able to raise funds, they will close it.  But in startups employees are in unsecured layer though enjoying the smooth environment.  If experienced persons whose age are more than 50 years, then they sell the venture and become Investor or advisor for highly valuated companies or visiting lecturers for management institutions.  Investors drop fund in initial stage by keeping the selling value in mind.

Services are converted into products like washing clothes, wedding services and repairing homes in form of Apps.  Mostly food, travel, rooms and dress segments are concentrated.  Food ordering and consumer items are regularly advertised in Media.  From the print sources, till now E-commerce companies are not in profit.  Valuations of E-commerce startups are impressive and encouraging new stuff.  Whatever may be the risks or facts in startups, they are the new arena which will run in India for another 10 years since they are succeeded in Silicon Valley and China.
