Chris Gautier from Masters of Scale believes that you don't need to be a unicorn in order to be successful, you can be a dragon instead.
Chris Gautier thinks that the obsession with unicorns is bad for business because it leads to making a lot of bad decisions.
The tech industry and its investors have been captivated by the spell of the Unicorn for too long — and the ambitious goal of a billion-dollar valuation has done more harm than good. Instead, founders should aim to be resilient dragons. That's the view of Maëlle Gavet, who as CEO of early-stage investment business Techstars has unmatched insight into the hopes, dreams, and challenges of thousands of founders. Maëlle also shares her experience as a “Fixer and Scaler” and offers important lessons for all entrepreneurs, from pre-seed start-ups to corporate change agents.
