What startups basically need to get to the next level, is the right money and the right vision. That is, besides drive, passion, pizza, and a partner that allows long hours, of course. With the right client-oriented vision, entrepreneurs will be able to create revenue layers, allowing for steady growth. And by focusing on clients as their main source of income, entrepreneurs become less dependent on their investors -- even more, their investors will be more interested in their venture. Presentation at Tech Startup Day on September 19, 2013 for a group of enthousiastic startups.
