#StartupLokal Meetup v.55 — Lessons Learned from Silicon Valley (Case Study)

It is important to not only highlight successful story, but to also learn from unsuccessful story, as both could give valuable lessons for us. In this meetup we will learn case study of both successful AND unsuccessful stories of startups in Silicon Valley. The speaker will come directly from Silicon Valley to Jakarta and share his knowledge and experience to #Startuplokal meetup.

”StartupPedia – Panduan Membangun Startup Ala Silicon Valley” serves as a comprehensive manual for Indonesian startups looking to emulate Silicon Valley’s successful methods including case studies of Startups from around the world. While entrepreneurs are equally motivated across the world, including in Indonesia, Silicon Valley has consistently been home to the largest number of successful startups. This dierence is partly due to the lack of know-how in operating a startup, which the book aims to bridge by providing guidelines to the key elements of building a startup from the inception of business ideas and team building, to fundraising and exits. The book is the third in a series of localized editions after Japan and South Korea, which were big hits as the second and third bestselling entrepreneurship books in each respective country.
