“The risk of failure is so high that there’s a good chance I’m investing years of my life in things that will ultimately fail.”- Entrepreneur, Generation StartupMost startups don't make it beyond their early stage.To start a company, you have to be bold, ambitious, innovative and some may even say, a little crazy. You’re taking chances, constantly battling with the unknown, working non stop. It’s a leap of faith, that others will believe in your product as you do. You learn to fail but you also learn to get back up again. The low’s are low but the high’s make up for it all in the end.To celebrate the spirit of entrepreneurship, 500 Startups together with @america are hosting the screening of Generation Startup, a documentary that takes us to the front lines of entrepreneurship featuring 6 startup entrepreneurs from across USA. The documentary follows them for 2 years on their incredible journey of trials, struggles and triumphs in making their startups work."Directed by Academy Award winner Cynthia Wade and award-winning filmmaker Cheryl Miller Houser, the film celebrates risk-taking, urban revitalization, and diversity while delivering a vital call-to-action with entrepreneurship at a record low, the country’s economic future is at stake."But what does it mean to be an entrepreneur in Southeast Asia?To answer that question, we’ll be hosting a panel discussion at the end of the screening to draw parallels between the entrepreneurial journeys in the east and the west.
