Skoltech at Tochka Kipeniya and its Leader-ID online platform present: A lecture by Skoltech Professor Dmitry Kulish.
Startups that saw the light of day back in 1976 did not thrive until 15 years later, driven by the so called ‘economic bubble’ forming as a result of countless dotcom companies entering the market and older companies going online.
Upwards of a hundred million new startups emerge every year, each striving to quickly become a unicorn worth a billion dollars. Is there a universal recipe for success?
Professor Kulish will walk you through the history of startups, using Skolkovo’s first unicorn, “Hepatera”, and its Skoltech’s cousins as an example and share secrets of success from the best companies. Join the lecture to find out more about how to combine science, technology and business and why innovation is especially profitable in Russia.
