How to Set Your Startup Up for Success
Did you know that “company incorporations grew by 20% in the April-December period of FY21 compared to the corresponding period last year” (Noronha, 2021)? In fact, when we look at the technology sector, it secured “$300 billion in venture capital investments around the world” (Startup Genome, 2021). This shows that even during the pandemic, new companies such as your own have taken a brave step forward. But how do you make sure your start-up grows momentum?
