Recommendation

Entrepreneurship isn’t for the weak-hearted. Tech startup entrepreneurs face challenges over funding and convincing investors their ideas work. Israel, a country of just under eight million people, leads the world in high-tech startups. Only the United States and China have more companies on the NASDAQ than Israel has. Venture capitalist Uri Adoni cites the cultural trait of chutzpah as the main reason for Israel’s startup success. A Yiddish word, “chutzpah” means having the nerve to speak your mind and to believe in yourself despite obstacles. Adoni portrays startups that could have failed without a touch of chutzpah and explains how you can develop yours and use it to succeed.

Take-Aways

  • Startup entrepreneurs need a healthy dose of chutzpah.
  • Startups hatch bright ideas or find new ways of doing something better.
  • Follow six chutzpah rules.
