    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Hugely interesting video that anyone working in a start up or intending to create one should watch while taking notes. Start ups wasting money and having to close business and stop innovation is more common than we can imagine. There are lots of examples in crypto and blockchain start ups even with some which were heavily funded. The painful reality of a deep bearish market and fear of investors, higher costs in all departments of a start up, is a wake up call for this type of "easy money" start ups. This is the moment when those who were burrowing, working on the basement but with clear focus on what it wants to develop or innovate, preparing adequate solutions INSIDE a budget which many other start ups would not even believe could work with, the moment to show to the world what seriousness, focus, responsibility and hard work means. But even then any business must always focus on how to best invest its own funds, planning adequately in advance and having a proper fund for stormy times.
