Founders well connected with suppliers, service providers and customers. No need for external investment up until scale up stage (meaning low dilution and higher valuation);c) Robust platforms. Agile and iterative processes that signal a wrong turn or excessive burn rates;d) considerable location advantages – Tax exemptions, capital subsidy from government, access to research institutions, knowledge groups, proximity to large customers, low cost real estate.e) early customer involvement at the development stage itself.f) Perseverance in the face of serial challenges. Cool temperament. A few other traits off the top –a) a well wkored idea with clear USP built on optimal market need;b) adequacy of startup resources – human and financial.

Thanks for your reply. It's great idea to write more about financial part of startup. Even though it realy comes down to a decision to whether or not to throw yourself in "cold startup water", how to avoid financial risks in the beginning is important issue, so I will write about it in one of the next posts. Cheers! Hey Enda!

As I think about my own future endeavours, I realise the biggest challenge is just to get over the START line. You know, just committing to the risk and just getting going. Can you talk a little on your blog about some general ways of managing financial risks as one gets into business start-up? Like hedging against losses, or limiting personal liabilities?
