5. KEY FEATURES
Startups are known for their
innovative ideas and approaches.
They often aim to disrupt existing
markets or create entirely new
ones by introducing novel
products, services, or business
models.
Startups are designed for rapid
growth and scalability. They seek
to expand quickly and capture a
significant market share within a
relatively short time frame.
Startups typically operate with
limited resources, especially in the
early stages. This constraint forces
them to be resourceful, creative,
and efficient in how they allocate
their capital and manpower.
Startups operate in an environment of
uncertainty and risk. Many new businesses
fail, and startups are no exception.
However, the potential rewards, including
financial success and personal fulfillment,
can be significant for those that succeed.

ideas, take calculated risks, and create new businesses. They often have a strong vision and the determination to bring
their ideas to fruition.

startup's mission, vision, and strategy. They typically wear multiple hats and are deeply involved in all aspects of the

different types, including:

more intensive programs to help startups grow rapidly.

startups. They often foster collaboration and networking among entrepreneurs and provide essential
amenities.
• Educational Institutions: Universities and colleges play a role by offering entrepreneurship programs,
research opportunities, and access to talent. Many successful startups have their origins in research

businesses. They can set their own schedules and work on projects that align with their interests
and lifestyle.

the world and want to develop solutions that make life easier, more efficient, or more enjoyable
for others.
• Job Creation: Entrepreneurs often have a vision of creating job opportunities and contributing to
the local or global economy. Successful startups can employ a significant number of people.
• Impact: Entrepreneurs who are passionate about specific social or environmental causes may
start "impact startups." These businesses aim to create positive social or environmental change
while also generating profits.
