- Capital. By definition, no new business can be launched without money and relevant infrastructures (which consist of a value-creation capital tied up in mostly illiquid tangible assets over a medium to more extended term period);
- Know-how. You need entrepreneurs, engineers, developers, designers, salespeople: all those whose skills are necessary for launching and growing innovative businesses.
- Rebellion. An entrepreneur always challenges the status quo. If they wanted to play by the book, they would innovate within big, established companies, where they would be better paid and would have access to more resources. Instead, they chose to make a stand and disrupt or optimise what currently is the existing paradigm.
