The important…

The first accelerator company I have encountered supported by a university

Hello to everyone. Today I will write to you about the StartX company. StartX company was founded in 2009 by Stanford University students. Although being supported by only one university makes this company very weak, it is not at all, on the contrary, being backed by a well-known university like Stanford has greatly grown the reputation of StartX. The founders of the company are people with great experience in this industry, which increases people's trust in the company. No matter how well the…

Pros
  • Being backed by a university like Stanford had a huge impact on the company's growth.
  • The great experience of its creators has increased the trust of the customers to the company.
  • the creators have big plans for the future
Cons
  • is not a global company and has little influence
  • According to some reports I've heard, Stanford University has ended its partnership with the company, if so, I think it would be a big blow for this company, because StartX is a new and small company.
