#4 Get balanced

Markus Haltunnen, has a crystal clear idea on how to get a startup to success. The founder of Small Giant which was launched in February believes that a well rounded founding team is the base of it all.

"Make sure your founding team is well balanced. It's not enough that you have a group of talented people working together," he said. "We had two graphic designers and one developer, but we knew we needed something more. It's important to identity gaps in skill or knowledge. We were lucky to get someone else on the team who had experience talking to investors and that was key while we looked for funding."

#3 Think years ahead

Planning the route ahead with a persistent vision about the future can certainly fuel up any new initiatives says Tiina Zillacus, founder of the Yoga Retreat app.

"If you need investors, raise enough money for the next level while still playing the current one," Zillacus said. "Even if someone isn't interested now, they could be later. It's about building relationships and thinking ahead, not just what you need now but what you might need two years from now."
