A Must watch for Fresh Entrepreneurs: Google for Startups
Contents
Ankit, a fresh graduate wanted to work for the school children, who had difficulty taking notes in the classroom and coaching for the same subject and then putting everything together. He had a thought and idea but no mentors to talk to. Somehow he created his app but dint know how to get the funding or how to market it. He wanted to have sessions with the people who had really done this. He tried with his teachers, parents, uncles, and aunts, then tried LinkedIn. Wrote to many. Nothing worked. No one was interested to invest their time with this little budding entrepreneur. This is not a problem with Ankit only. Many of our budding entrepreneurs face it. Before facing the celebrities like “Shark Tank fame”, they need to have mentors who have actually done it. Google has an edge because of its huge database and data follow-up. With queries Indians made, Google located a problem and a void here and come up with Google Startup School, especially for Indian mindsets who have a set of agreeable ethics and a very individual sense of moral values specific to a family or in some cases a person.
