In my view, tech entrepreneurship is about finding opportunities and creating tech businesses to generate shareholder returns better than the incumbent solutions whilst defending your market share against new entrants. Whilst everyone expects 2011 to be a better year than the previous two, nonetheless, there are significant business challenges ahead, first of which being survival.
1. What are the key challenges you expect to face this year?
2. What can techcelerate and its growing community of 1900 do to help you?
As a starter, my own challenges for edocr.com are:
1. Attracting talent
2. Capital for growth
2011 for me is, nothing but "make it happen" year. Do share your thoughts.

Challenges
Two main challenges for me this year:
1. Find a job in GM with a dynamic business, rather than be drawn to the big schmoke down in London;
2. Work on a proposal to develop an Open Innovation Toolkit for GM. To look at the key issues: commitment, control, communication, resources, objectives, IP, divorce; and suggesting ways these could be reduced/overcome. Hopefully it will reduce the risks (perceived and real) for companies thinking about collaborating.
