Surely you already want to be a Startup or that you would like to invest in a Startup, but before that there are some things to tell you.
There is a good and bad news. The good thing is that anyone can become a Startup. The bad news is anyone can become a Startup. What it means is, it’s a speed race.
Today a person with a computer can reach anywhere in the world and make virtually any digital innovation in that sense and create a gigantic business.
This is a continuation of the previous blog.
Startups are projects that solve a problem through innovation and are scalable. From what we mentioned in the previous blog, I think we already know that we all want to be a Startup and not an SME.
With all this innovation and with all these things:
There are four things that can happen.
1.- The first is that Startup starts to grow, grow and grow, until it does something called IPO which means that the company is made public and goes public, it is what a company could aspire to the most. Google and Facebook for example are out there as a public company where any of us can get and buy shares.
2.- The second option that a Startup could have is that it grows, grows and grows and someone arrives and buys it. For example, Facebook that is in the stock-market bought WhatsApp who were a company with 50 employees and did not even own the building where they lived and bought it for 19 billion dollars.
3.- The third option of a Startup is that it goes bankrupt, so simple, and in fact it is so common for Startups to break, that they invented an event called ‘Fuck up Nights‘ so you can see how people have or they had Startups have gone bankrupt.
What I’m going with this is that a Startup like we were at the beginning, solve a problem with innovation, if the problem exists and innovation is enough to solve that problem, then your venture will start to grow exponentially until a time when you are giant like Facebook or like Google because you changed an industry forever. Think of Uber, which changed an industry forever, we see taxis differently.
4.-The other option is that you die, there are no average options for Startups, as entrepreneurs and investors have to understand the risk that this implies, if we play and hit it, we will grow a lot, but if it is not going to end all, we cannot stay in the middle as it could be done by an SME that has been in the market for years and has a healthy operation year after year and will never grow exponentially.
That’s what we can expect from the life of a Startup. So, the question is:
Can we be a Startup?
Can we invest in that Startup?
and how will your Startup grow that exponential?
Wait for the next blog. ?
What happens around us is the entrepreneur and the investor, and the reality is that the entrepreneur is not seen like very important and the investor looks like someone too sophisticated where we cannot make connection. That is completely wrong, a Startup when it is born and an entrepreneur what it does is that it is starting to generate value and if its Startup really is valuable the investor is going to want a little of that value, if we begin to translate that in other words, the entrepreneur is also an investor because he invested his time and effort in generating value, and now he is going to go out and he will be an investor who sells and on the other side there will be an investor who buys, one delivers a piece of the company and the other delivery money. We must begin to generate value as an entrepreneur and as investors we must understand that entrepreneurs are also valuable.
So, what is a Startup?

Why have a page with two or more languages? There are many ways to do it, but what is the right way?
Most of the time, the web developers end up doing an incorrect translation that end up doing the page that translates as Google Translate or the fact of creating a domain as follows like domain.com/entry.html in English and domain.com/entry-espanol.html for Spanish is one of the worst mistakes a company can make.
