In recent years, a lot of efforts have been made by both private and public sectors to build up an appropriate ecosystem for startups in Vietnam. They mainly give direct supports to startups and the incubators where startups are incubated. Most have forgotten another element in the startup ecosystem, angel investors, who are considered the starters of the startup capital lifecycle.

Section 107 of the JOBS Act, titled “Opt-In Right for EGCs,” gives EGCs the choice to take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

Beyond examples like these, a number of women have started either moderate-sized niche firms or promising but still-emerging firms in fields from software to biomedicine. Examples would include Sue Welch of Tradestone Software and Mara Aspinall of the cancer care startup On-Q-ity, two winners of the 2010 Leadership Awards from WEST, the Boston-based group Women Entrepreneurs in Science and Technology.

In the grand scheme of things, however, even a million-dollar business is not particularly large. Many good regional businesses reach this mark, from home improvement contractors to small law firms. And though it is a worthy goal to have every business flourish as well as it can, our focus here is on startups that could go well beyond a million in annual revenues. These high-growth firms would, at the least, become prominent niche firms of the type described earlier. They would create jobs prolifically and serve global or national markets.

One difficulty in studying women-led startup companies is that a firm may have multiple founders or owners of both genders. Various research studies deal with the problem in different ways: They count women’s firms as those owned solely or ―primarily‖ by women; they break out the mixed-ownership firms separately (or exclude them); or, they track startup activity by individuals rather than by firms. The Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity (KIEA) tracks individuals, using data from the Current Population Survey of the U.S. Census and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. ...

This was the formula behind America’s information-technology boom in the last half of the twentieth century. Not only did the country produce many more startups per capita than Europe or Japan did, it consistently produced startups that grew to flagship status: the now-defunct Digital Equipment Corp. in the 1950s, Intel and AMD in the 1960s, Microsoft, Apple and Oracle in the ’70s, Cisco Systems and Dell in the ’80s, and Amazon and Google in the ’90s, for example.

Kane, the author of a 2010 Kauffman paper on the subject, then combed through the data to make another crucial point. Some of the job loss in existing firms is due to ―Deaths,‖ i.e., firms closing down. This ―Death‖ toll is especially high for younger firms, as many startups close within a few years of founding. Therefore, it is important that a fair number of the ―Survivor‖ startups keep on growing to help offset the losses—and, as Kane notes, ―Among Survivors, so-called gazelle firms [the kind that grow quickly to large size] are certainly more important still.‖ ...

This paper explores the intersection of two issues that often are thought of separately: the need for sustained economic recovery in the United States, and the status of women’s entrepreneurship. Despite recent gains, women still lag behind men on key measures of startup activity, and their firms tend not to grow or prosper nearly as much. Typically, this is seen as a ―women’s‖ issue. It is framed as a problem to be dealt with for the benefit of women, in the interest of gender equality. In fact, it is an economic issue that affects everyone. ...

This is believed to be the first book that takes a view of nanotechnology from a telecommunications and networking perspective. Nanotechnology refers to the manipulation of materials at the atomic or molecular level.
