THE start-up scene all over the world is still flourishing. In the Philippines, there are currently more than 300 start-ups in the country and over 200 of them are actively operating, according to the first study profiling the Philippine start-up ecosystem by PwC Philippines and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
While globally we are seeing the strongest resurgence of the start-up craze since the dot-com era, we will not see them all succeed commercially. A Fortune survey among founders of failed business ventures indicate the stark reality that 9 out of 10 start-ups fail. In the Philippines, probably it’s higher to the tune of 19 out of 20.
