If you don’t know what this is about, you go here, and if you want to apply, here, better late than never. ...
When we as a ecosystem try to help our entrepreneurs, we make the mistake of always focussing on the mistakes others have made, and trying to steer away from those. This is evident even from the stuff we write on blogs and platforms with the specific purpose of helping others. Maybe it’s time we step away from that.
