Maximising the chances of a successful start-up
Nascent, the new spin-off from UHasselt, focuses on maximising the chances of success for start-ups, thanks to its advanced, data-driven algorithm. It is already in talks with accelerators in Belgium and internationally, to offer advice and support. They appear to have a recipe for success.
Individuals looking to start a business all too often only see things their way. If your co-founder has the right technical skills, experience and strategic capacities, everything will work out fine, or so people think. Well, they are wrong. In fact, 65% of start-ups fail because the co-founders' views differ on crucial points. They have different values, a different work ethic, a different approach of how best to deal with conflict, etc. Nevertheless, it is crucial that they are on the same page in order to create the right dynamic.
The Nascent platform knows the right way to go about things. It draws on scientifically proven matchmaking tools to identify the strengths and weaknesses of prospective co-founders. Are their soft skills and personality traits compatible? Research shows that it is here where the strength and viability of a company primarily lie.
Individuals looking to take the plunge now know where they can find the right coaching, to set out on the road to success with a well-oiled team.
