n Ideas are worthy but execution is everything
n Needs perfect and timely execution to have a
chance to survive and move to next stage

9. 9
n In traditional VC world, help from mentors and
advisors is not efficient as they are not close
to the company in order to add value on a
REGULAR BASIS
n The venture will give away equity but this
exchange make more sense for young
entrepreneurs who see value in the
experience of working under experienced
leaders and founders
PRACTICAL MODEL FOR YOUNG
ENTREPRENEURS
