Demystifying global startups session held on May 19th 2021
Most of the start-up focus in the news is on Silicon Valley and Unicorns, but in reality, most start-ups are small global start-ups. They get less attention because they are outside the US. This discussion seeks to explore start-ups in different continents and countries and understand how they are different or similar to the US-based ones.
The goal of the Demystifying Series is to provide real-world knowledge and advice from those who have both knowledge and experience on the topic. Each conversation aims to offer valuable insight to entrepreneurial start-ups and to dispel general misconceptions.
