Vivek & Tarun’s advice for Chihuahua…

Conclusions and lessons



Understand the problem -> Create solutions. SV doesn’t care about Mexico.

You can create anything by crowdfunding.

Everything is becoming sharable, information is available. Open Source, free patents to take advantage.

Design is everything, do it the Apple way!

Don’t create products, create platforms. Uber, Amazon, Google.

Converge technologies to create innovation.

Create competition = low risk innovation.

Startups are the new giants!
