I fully agree, there is no better time then now to start a new company, innovation is what is needed to turn the tide against this recession.Economic crisis are temporary but a great idea and building a great company is here forever
Well put Sanjay
During a recession people and companies will try to do with less, throwing overboard what is not necessarily. Avoid all risks.
At the end of the recession tunnel there is a decision point.
People and companies will decide to take on new opportunities and need to take risks again in order to win.
That’s where the decision point is. http://bit.ly/cAT9H3
If your new solution is not on the market at that time you will miss the new expansion of the market.
That’s why you need to start during the recession to be ready.
