How would you feel when all your dreams, hopes and efforts vanish suddenly in a day? Being an entrepreneur is not easy decision and the execution is even difficult. You have invested all your savings, raised funds from all sources, put all your heart and soul in executing the business, sacrificed personal and social life and dreamt of being successful. Then things do not go well as planned, you start seeing loss, you are unable to withstand the pressures from investors, your family starts blaming you. What do you do ?
A very interesting story of a startup that almost went bankrupt and now revamped is Rovio. Before Angry Birds came along (it still took them 3 years to develop and the launch itself wasn’t successful) the company was laying off people, had already developed 50 games without much success and was at the end.
Rovio Failed because it was an aeon of non smartphones when it came up with those 50 games and Snake was the peak of the gaming industry at that time. The evolution of the smartphone and the incredible success of Angry Birds has created a global phenomenon, with Rovio no longer seen as a mobile gaming company, but a true media entertainment company.
