The start-up ecosystem has long been captivated by the charm of unicorns — those rare, billion-dollar ventures that seemingly emerge overnight. However, a paradigm shift is underway, challenging this conventional wisdom. The emergence of “camels”, start-ups focused on sustainable growth and profitability over astronomical valuations, raises significant questions about the true essence of success in entrepreneurship. This panel discussion delves into the heart of this debate: Is it worth chasing unicorns? Are these high-risk, high-reward ventures the epitome of success, or are they merely mirages in an increasingly saturated market? Alternatively, should entrepreneurs pivot towards nurturing camels — start-ups that may not reach unicorn status but offer stability, innovation, and tangible value to society? Drawing upon insights from seasoned entrepreneurs, investors, and industry experts, our panel will explore the merits and pitfalls of both approaches. We’ll examine the evolving definition of success in the start-up landscape, considering factors such as job creation, innovation, societal impact, and long-term viability. Through our open discussion and real-world anecdotes, attendees will gain a nuanced understanding of the opportunities and challenges inherent in each path. Join us online on 10 June 2024 at 2:00 PM CET to be part of this enlightening discussion and gain valuable insights into the future of start-ups. Seize the opportunity to be at the forefront of entrepreneurial innovation. Embark on a journey to transform obstacles into catalysts for change!
