Its been 16 years of my journey as an Entrepreneur. Part of 2 Bootstrapped companies with similar business model. Tekno Point started in 2000 and CloudThat started in 2012.
2 Charts that convey the story that I hope inspires you.
The above data for Tekno Point plotted is from 2007 but before that I had experienced a temporary shut down in 2003. So basically 3 times hit the bottom – 2003, 2008 , 2013.
Used the wisdom from all the mistakes and was lucky to get a fantastic Co-Founder (Bhavesh Goswami) for CloudThat.
Hope this inspires you to keep trying and not let failures defeat you.
You will face a few trenches, but they give you the wisdom to climb higher peaks.
Keep at it.
