“Most of us eagerly celebrate yet another mega deal, cheering for a founder who landed a venture capital fund and secured a sizeable investment.
Now, let’s pause and think about what that actually means. It signals that our fellow entrepreneur has officially taken on… yes, a liability burden.”
Victoria Silchenko, Raise and Rise: Funding Sources for Your Startup in the Era of Digital Transformation & Blockchain

Santosh Kalwar
“Nepalese culture is traditional because most individuals prefer to spend their money on land, gold and silver savings, building structures, and consuming luxury products rather than investing in new ventures or starting their businesses.”
Santosh Kalwar, Why Nepal Fails
