Q.1 As you know, innovation workshops focus on the idea of start-ups. You each are assigned to a start-up team and are going through what a start-up goes through.
(a) What is a start-up? Is it any different from established companies? What ways? (read Steve Blanks HBR article - it is on Angel in the 1st assessment folder)
