Non-Technical Startup Founder Case Studies Sramana Mitra

The 1Mby1M Methodology is based on case studies. In each course, Sramana Mitra shares the tribal knowledge of tech entrepreneurs by giving students the rare seat at the table with the entrepreneurs, investors and thought leaders who provide the most instructive perspectives on how to build a thriving business. Through these conversations, students gain access to case studies exploring the alleys of entrepreneurship.

Sramana's synthesis of key learnings and incisive analysis add great depth to each discussion. Ever since the 2008 financial crisis, intellectuals have had to ask themselves, ‘Does Capitalism Still Work. ' I have explored this question for several years now, beginning with a seminal column I wrote for Forbes: Capitalism's Fundamental Flaw.

Two particular problems stand out. First, Capitalism has been hijacked by speculators. Second, the system enables amassing wealth at the tip of the pyramid, leaving most of society high and dry.

Both problems have resulted in a highly unstable, volatile world order that jitters and shocks markets periodically, leaving financial carnage and mass scale human suffering. So what is the solution. Can the ideals of democracy and capitalism be combined to establish a more robust, stable system.
