If you read Venture Beat or Crunchbase, it often sounds like startup unicorns go directly from idea to exit, without too much time or effort in between. But, the truth is that startup giants like Uber, Airbnb, and Slack were in business 8-10 years before they gained the widespread public attention they have today.
What were they doing all that time? Following the predictable path that most startups need to follow from AHA! to Exit.
Listen as Aram Chavez, entrepreneur, speaker, and former investment banker turned professor of entrepreneurship at ASU shares the key milestones every startup needs to hit on their way to mega-success.
