The United States has the most advanced software and information technology (I.T.) services industry globally. More than 40 percent of the $5 trillion global I.T. market is in North America, primarily the United States. The industry accounts for $1.8 trillion of U.S. value-added GDP (more than 10 percent of the national economy) and 11.8 million jobs. According to CompTIA, more than 525,000 software and I.T. services companies in the United States. 40,500+ tech startups were incorporated in 2018 alone. This includes software publishers, custom computer programming services suppliers, computer systems design firms, and facilities management companies. The industry draws on a highly educated and skilled U.S. workforce of nearly two million people, which has continued to grow during the past decade. 

Small enterprises accounted for 64% of the net new jobs created between 1993 and 2011 — or 11.8 million from the net new jobs created 18.5 million —. During the recovery from the Great Recession of mid-2009 to 2011, small businesses accounted for 67% of net new jobs created, led by large companies with 20 to 499 employees. Data and research from the SBA Office of Advocacy Fund show that small businesses produce more than half of all new private non-agricultural gross domestic product and generate 60-80% of all new net jobs.

Firms with fewer than 500 employees - drive the U.S. economy, creating jobs for nearly half of the U.S. private workforce. Small businesses account for 42.9 percent of all American payrolls, driving a ton of consumer spending into the economy and tax dollars into our state budget. Since 1995, small businesses have created two of three net new jobs (64 percent) in our country.

Ari Horie has founded women's Startup Lab (WSLab), a founder development accelerator based in the heart of Silicon Valley providing stage-specific founder training to early-stage startups. WSLab's mission is to guide women-led startups to victory and inspire change to impact the world.

Ari is a prominent Silicon Valley entrepreneur and has been named one of Silicon Valley Business Journal's "Women of Influence in Silicon Valley" in 2015, one of CNN's 10 Visionary Women of 2014, and "40 over 40" Women to Watch in 2015. Ari Horie is an active global keynote speaker at leading tech conferences

In most industries where women dominate purchasing power, female-led companies are experiencing rapid and exponential growth. For example, Pat McGrath Labs, a cosmetics company of the same name headed by a famous make-up artist, became a unicorn in 2018, as did Huda Beauty and Canva, a graphic design platform. Fourteen women-led unicorns in the US form a melting pot of industries, including Eventbrite, an event platform, SaaS-based customer experience management software Medallia and the consumer credit company Credit Karma. A total of $23.9 billion in VC-backed companies around the world have at least 23 female founders. While these numbers are disheartening, a look at the Pitchbook highlights the progress made by female entrepreneurs in building unicorns in a variety of industries.

IIT Delhi Alumnus Neeraj Chaudhary scales Mount Everest.

Neeraj Chaudhary started mountaineering in 2014, and in 2020 got selected as a member of the Indian Mountaineering Foundation (IMF) Everest Expedition under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.

This is the story of believing in yourself. 

Be Humble

Your network is your net worth - Find an environment conducive to your dreams, surround yourself with people who have achieved the impossible.

Preparation - prepare, prepare, prepare

Tribe/Team Work/Your Family - with your tribe, even a failed destination will be worth the fantastic journey, and there are no failures; your destination may be different than you anticipated. 

Mentor - Nobody has accomplished anything without the mentors

Passion with conviction - Passion is not enough, It is daydreaming without conviction.
