Using experiences of founders of big startups

In 1397, startup ecosystem of Iran moved towards becoming more mature; it was a year during which startup flows in other cities become more prominent.

The most important challenge in startup ecosystem in 1397, was the lack of exact regulation for newly established businesses and this affected many startups. Startups should be more patient and stable in 1398 and run their startups smarter and with better management.

Also despite of many opportunities in current situation startups can focus on other parts of the market where there are less domestic competitors.

On the other hand, fortunately people are more inclined to startups and embrace their products and services more than before and they believe that the main goal of startups is to bring value to the society and startups are looking for solving problems and meeting the needs to which less attention is paid in recent years.

They didn’t manage the crisis

It seems that the main reason of failure or closure of startups in 1397 is related to the management knowledge of startup teams and their founders at the time of crisis, because important decisions and risk taking during sanctions and crisis is a necessity to survive startups.

Without doubt, making use of experiences of founders of big startups like DigiKala, Snapp, Takhfifan, MamanPaz and … is the first and biggest step which should be taken in order to increase the knowledge of other startups during crisis.
