Character traits of a CEO
Entrepreneurism is alive and well in the software segment, especially the EDA market, apparent from the 200 or so exhibitors at DAC last month, most of whom were either startups or emerging companies.
EDA and social networking startups share at least one common denominator. Funding for either doesn’t take a huge amount of money—unlike a semiconductor startup that needs to raise about $50 million to get its chip to market.
