As a result, the quality of startups emerging has increasingly deteriorated.<\/li>\n<li>Believe in entrepreneurs who have the zeal and passion to accomplish.<\/li>\n<li>He jokes that beer is good and acts as an idea propeller drawing people to open up and discuss freely. I could not have agreed better, as even in my case I have made some good friends over a pint of beer.<\/li>\n<li>You don\u2019t need big college degrees or diplomas to be successful in life. I think he is referring to being just smart in the mind.<\/li>\n<li>To garner experiences, you may have to work at smaller companies\/places to learn and get some valuable experience.<\/li>\n<li>Take risks calculatively but don&#8217;t ever be scared of failure.<\/li>\n<li>He quips that we often take ourselves too seriously and that is a result of our depreciations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A valuable talk and interaction that has thrown some light on how to advance with startups.
