"The importance of collaboration is one of the most critical lessons a new entrepreneur can learn. All too often, the industry focuses on the competition between companies, teams and individuals. I think competition is healthy, but if you want to grow in life, I think collaboration is something that you can't avoid." We couldn't agree more!

Succeeding in the tech industry is a challenging proposition, but there are several steps entrepreneurs can take to increase their odds of success.
