Are you suited for a start-up?

While startups can provide managers with professional and person rewards, it is crucial to assess one's fit before venturing to join one. Three critical factors are the ability to manage ambiguity and uncertainty, push limits, and adopt an owner's mindset. Next is selecting the right organization. First, choose a domain - is the focus businesses or customers? What are one's likes and interests? Second, choose a city - again, likes and preferences are key. Third, choose a stage - how far along is the startup, and which phase hold the most appeal? Finally, choose a winner - find out which firm should be the most successful by asking insiders and examining the team, market, and business model. Then arrange meetings with individuals, and articulate specifically your ability to contribute.
