Is ‘startup advisor’ the new cool designation? So many senior professionals opting for this. Fomo factor? And what about the becharay startups! Do they get any value or just gyan?
I can’t speak for anyone else but I can tell you why I decided to work with startups. I am a terribly impatient person and I felt that large companies would take too long to do anything differently.
As for the ‘becharay startups’, you will have to check with some of the companies I work with – Urban Ladder, Voonik.
Seriously, though, your point is a valid one. Working with young, digital companies requires a completely different mindset. Stuff happens at accelerated speed, everything is measured and every norm questioned. There is little room for pure gyan and I think people should understand that before venturing into this world.
