Startup 2006

As part of Churchill Club's annual event, the panel of five Silicon Valley entrepreneurs discussed the challenges and critical success factors necessary to reach the promised land. Video can be found at Google. It's quite enlightening discussion with very good points to take home. The one that I liked the most is the comment made by Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of Linkedin, If you are not embarrassed by the first release of your product in the market, then probably, you released too late . Another interesting perspective of being a successful entrepreneur from Joe Kraus, co-founder of eXcite and jotspot was to be a trend-spotter and not trend-setter.
