Great startups do things differently.

Great Startups Do Differently. In a world full of bad start-ups, it's easy to think that all companies are the same. I mean, we've all heard stories about the so-called "unicorn" companies that have generated billions in revenue, found their way into the Forbes list of America's Best Small Companies, but what if I told you that there's a different kind of startup out there? What if I told you that these unicorns aren't actually unicorns at all?

They're Great Startups! And they're doing things differently than the rest of the pack. They've got more money than their peers—and not just because they've been lucky enough to be acquired by another company or received investment from a VC firm (which is not necessarily a bad thing). They're also using their resources more effectively than their peers—and not just because they're hiring better people than their competitors. They're thinking differently about how they bring ideas to market, too—and not just because they're willing to take risks on new ideas instead of waiting for someone else to come along with an idea first. So we can see that great startups:

1. Focus on exactly what their customers need.

2. They take their time to build a product that works well for the customer, not just for them and their team.

3. They are willing to make sacrifices in order to build something that people will love and use every day, even if it means they have to work harder than others might expect them to be able to work.

4. They don't just think about themselves when they're building something new—they think about how it will impact their customers' lives as well.
 
Nice article.

Great startups are champions of change, and they disrupt economies with their services and products.

To build a company that is unique the leader has to be a visionary and has to have a concrete plan to follow through, the best person that fits into this criteria is Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple, he built Apple with the sole aim of disruption and if you look at the company to today they have to maintained that stand, currently, they are the most valuable company in the world.

As a start up founder I think the culture in a company also helps tremendously in shaping how other employees or board members behave and it also kinda set a tone for future plans.

I love the start up world, the idea of bringing something valuable to the marketplace that will go on an impact the lives of many other people in the world.
 
There's no question that startups are different from established businesses. They have to be in order to survive and thrive. But what exactly makes them different?

For one, startups are much more agile. They can pivot quickly to take advantage of new opportunities or to correct course if they're heading in the wrong direction. They also tend to be more innovative, always looking for new and better ways to do things.

Startups also have a different culture. They're usually much more informal andflat, with less hierarchy and bureaucracy. And because they're often started by passionate, driven individuals, they have a strong sense of mission and purpose .

All of these things make startups different – and usually better – at taking risks, moving quickly, and executing on their vision. So if you're thinking about starting a business, remember that it's not just about having a great idea. It's about doing things differently .
