Crystal ball for startups.
(From Israel Business Arena)
Byline: Michael Neuvirth
Image how wildly successful your startup would be if you could only predict the future. You would know exactly what your customers will buy, what your competition will do and where your startup will end up - IPO, M&A or bust.
Believe me - I wish there were a site out there that would act as a virtual crystal ball and enable you to see into the future. No such site exists (but during the dot.com craze - one probably got funded)! Anyway, while there is no such thing as a virtual crystal ball, there is a definite need to at least try to predict the future - especially if you are an early stage company with a breakthrough technology.
