HCCG: “Start-up Chaos: Making sense of start-ups”

The global economy today is dotted with start-ups. East or West, start-ups have come to characterize a new wave of economic revolution. Ideas - both mundane and novel - are finding ways to establish themselves commercially. Venture capitalists and PE players are playing a catalytic role in the commercialization process. Which start-ups will survive? Who benefits from the start-up ecosystem -entrepreneurs, investors, employees or customers? What kinds of metrics are used to measure a start-up’s success before profits materialize? What kinds of entrepreneurs are entering the start-up ecosystem? What kind of training do they have to run businesses? Or are we walking ourselves into the trap of a bubble economy?
