Hike CEO Kavin Mittal's advice to wannabe entrepreneurs: Don't do a start-up because it's cool
What advice would you give to entrepreneurs just starting up?
Kavin Mittal, founder and CEO, Hike Messenger
"My response is do not start up for the sake of starting up. Don't do it because you think it is cool. It is one of the hardest journeys of your life. There are more failures than successes; more downs than ups. And you really have to want it bad. If you don't want it bad, you are not going to be up working at 4 in the morning on two hours of sleep, trying to figure out what's going wrong."
