You’ve heard of unicorn startups, but what about camel startups?
For a long time, a startup founder’s ultimate goal was to achieve unicorn status, characterized by rapid growth and high valuations. But if there’s anything we know about the tech ecosystem, it’s that the only constant we can rely on is change. Today, operating with a unicorn mindset isn’t always realistic. Instead, startups must embody the camel, an animal that conserves its resources to endure harsh conditions and adapt to any environment. Resiliency breeds profitability and longevity.
