Listen to this interview with entrepreneur Christofer Engman who is founder of three IT-companies. He is giving some advices on how to become a successful business leader. The video is only 8 minutes long! 🙂
The article has listed 13 sentences which look easy to understand but they are very meaningful.
The first is to pick up good cofunders. I really have some thoughts on it. I planned to start my company but I needed to find a cofunder. My best friends seemed best choice, actually I had no better choice. We have a lot of differences in the personality and attitude of doing things. Sometimes you should consider it very cautiously. Best match always facilitates process of having things done.
Even though there 13 sentences as recommendation you as startup don’t think so much, which can make you afraid to make choice, i.e. don’t let 13 sentences be your burdens and worries of your startup and choose some of them to compensate your weakness and encourage you.

I was a bit confused this Friday because I thought the lecture would focus more on the venture project. I have a hard time figuring out what it is concerning and what is expected of us. I have talked to some people in class and I have gotten similar responses and concerns. Then I started to think, maybe this is the point. Perhaps Serdar wants us to figure it out ourselves or as a group, to simulate a real life scenario of creating a startup? Because it is always hard to know what to do next when creating a startup.
