Startups deserve empathy , much more than just cash and some pep talk !
Few days back while attending a startup focussed event at a reputed institute in Delhi , I found few pretending gentlemen ( would rather prefer to call them intellectual hooligans ) giggling and mocking at a presentation by one of entrepreneurs . They thought the idea was just not sellable . The fault doesn ’ t completely lie with them only . Most of us judge others from a narrow prism of what is the revenue and how much is the gain . The background and hard work behind the idea and journey are hardly of much value . Unfortunately , the bitter truth is that the empathy is missing !
Those who understand the sector well feel that the latest breed of young entrepreneurs is smart enough than few at bureaucracy might imagine . They are conscious of what they aim to do and no amount of pseudo-mentoring will make them happy unless it matters to their overall goals .
At the same time , just the decision to turn entrepreneur doesn ’ t guarantee the success . The entire journey of pushes and pulls are known only to those who ride the rope . While the policies by the government to promote startup culture have changed for good , the feedback system is not quite up to date . The entrepreneur is asking not only for some support but also a system where he or she can put the suggestions that don ’ t get trashed but accommodated .
On a positive note , there is no denying that the confidence level among students and professionals to turn into entrepreneurs is far greater now . We at BioVoice News are trying to bring to fore the fresh faces , their background , struggles and ambitions . Hence , we are inviting suggestions and stories from the young bioscience startups . Feel free to communicate with us !
