Obama's rise: A fantastic case-study for new startups.

I think new startup can learn a lot from Obama's rise, he was virtually a non-entity and no one could have believed he would oust Hillary Clinton. Defeating Hillary Clinton means defeating Bill Clinton, the heavy weight lobbyist, the money power, the experienced power-broker all together in one shot.

By winning the democratic nomination, Obama has proved that:

1. Where there is a will there is a way : Founders of new startup has to be determined and just start without afraid of anything.

2. Slow and steady wins the race: Keep improving your product/service on regular basis.

3. Technology is the key : see how you can use technology to bring the change that you're planning.

4. Newbie can take over giant: the new startup shouldn't worry about the giants. The will power and confidence will certainly keep you going.

5. Find the real problem and try to solve that: Founders should create product/service that solves the problem and concentrate on that by engaging to be customers.

6. Finally, its all about "team": Build the best of the best team, at the end of the day it is all about how good is your team and your team work.
