Think big and raise capital early: Fractal's Srikanth to entrepreneurs

Fractal Analytics, an AI company, became a unicorn with a billion-dollar valuation in 2022, nearly two decades after its inception. Founder Srikanth Velamakanni advises entrepreneurs to seek capital early on to prolong their journey and give them multiple shots at success. He also emphasizes the importance of having a small stake in a large pie rather than a large stake in a small pie. Velamakanni shares his 24-year entrepreneurial journey and encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to start a business to solve a problem they believe needs fixing. He also discusses the significance of networking, the qualities necessary for entrepreneurship, the role of an MBA, and the potential of AI in enhancing entrepreneurship.
