Session Description

 

What do Uber, Airbnb and CNN all have in common? They were startups during economic downturns. Uber and Airbnb during the GFC of 2007-2009; CNN in 1980 with US inflation at 15% per year. Do tough economic times make you tougher and more nimble for when things turn up? Or is “trial by fire” overrated?
