7 Must Know Lessons For Startups


#6 Differentiate

‘Celebrate failures’; this is the moto which keeps Ilkka Paananen moving ahead. Ilkka Paananen is the CEO of Supercell, a company that develops iOS apps including Clash of the Clans, a combat strategy game and Hay Day a social farming game.

"We celebrate failures," Paananen said. "We don't pretend failing is fun — people dedicate their lives to gaming production and sometimes the products get killed — but we get so much from that failure. We analyze and talk about what went well and what didn't. We pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate what we learned."

#5 Stay selective

It is certainly important to be selective and filter out only the advices that are healthy and beneficiary. CEO of Rival Games, Jukka Laakso says,  "While going through incubator programs, we met a lot of talented people from different fields and received a lot of advice.But if we listened to everyone, we'd be chasing our own tails. Some said making free-to-play apps is the only way to approach mobile, but because we are doing interactive storytelling, that would have been really hard to do."
