We’ve said it before, Upstarts has some of the missing pieces of the jigsaw that will help make your technology business a success.
But if one thing is for sure, Upstarts doesn’t have all the pieces – you will have the rest!
Naturally we want to invest in your technology and your business. But our investment won’t just be in the company, it will be in the people behind the business too.
We want to see unrivalled enthusiasm and motivation. These are two of the most important pieces in the make-up of any business and in particular one that is striving to face a new market head on. You must be committed to making your business a success because we will be.
You need to have determination, endurance and resilience because this isn’t going to be easy. Research shows that lots of start-up businesses don’t make it to the end of their first year of trading. Fewer make it to the end of year two and even less get to the end of the third year. Unfortunately in the technology sector its even harder so you need to have that little bit extra from the rest.
And if that wasn’t enough you’ll need to be optimistic as well as realistic. Starting a technology business means you will face countless hurdles along the way but if you know that at the beginning and you can still show all the traits we need in a potential Upstart then we want to meet you.
Of course we want to know all about your business. Whether you’ve managed to get it launched but can’t seem to get it past the embryonic stage or if its still in its conceptual stage we’d like to hear about it. We don’t want to know all the intricate details at the early stage; an executive summary will be enough for us to whet our appetites!
