Big Data Analytics for Entrepreneurial Success
The first thing that is associated with entrepreneurship is startups. It is necessary to establish its definition in order for it to be used later on in this study. A startup is a human institution designed to create a new product or service under conditions of extreme uncertainty. A startup is also considered as an organization formed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model. The term scalable suggests that the aim of every startup is to grow (and, consequently, to stop being a startup) and to mature into a fully functional company: to an SME.
