There are a lot of new start ups every year. Some of them are successful and some of them are not. I'm curious to know how many start ups people are planning on getting in 2021.

Are you planning on starting a new business in 2021? If so, what is it? What are your goals for the new business?

I'm also curious to know if people are planning on investing in any new start ups in 2021. If so, what are some of the businesses that you're considering investing in?

That depends on your definition of “start up.” Generally, start ups are defined as companies that are in their early stages of development. They’re typically new businesses that are focused on developing a product or service to meet a market need and are often formed around a unique technology or business model.

In 2021, it’s hard to predict the exact number of start ups because the current global economic and political environment presents a variety of uncertainties. For example, the pandemic has had a significant impact on the start up ecosystem. According to venture capital firm Atomico's report, The State of European Tech in 2020, “runway availability has shifted significantly in favor of larger companies,” which suggests that access to capital is more difficult for start ups.

However, with the emergence of innovative technologies, such as 5G, cloud computing, and robotics, 2021 could be a great year for start ups. Additionally, with governments around the world offering incentives for start ups, the start up landscape should remain vibrant throughout 2021.

If you are considering starting a business in 2021, here are some tips for success:

Identify your target market: Before you start a business, make sure you understand your target market and the needs of your potential customers.
Develop a business plan: A business plan will help you lay out your goals and objectives, define your success metrics, and create a roadmap for success.
Secure funding: Finding the right funding sources, such as venture capital or angel investors, can be crucial to the success of your start up.
Establish partnerships: Establishing strategic partnerships can put you in a position to tap into new markets and resources.
Focus on customer experience: A positive customer experience, consisting of quality products and services, is essential to the success of any start up.

That's a great question, and the answer really depends on the industry and geography. Some areas of the world have seen a surge in the number of start ups in recent years; in North America, for example, the number of start-ups has tripled in the past five years.

In terms of 2021 specifically, there is no definitive answer as it's still too early to assess the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on the startup landscape. Many startups have been disrupted by the pandemic, with businesses facing decreased resources and financial pressures. But there could still be a surge in the number of start-ups as businesses capitalize on changing market conditions and new opportunities.

It's also important to note that there isn't necessarily a definitive number or statistic for the number of start-ups in 2021, as it’s an ever-changing environment. Depending on the resources and tools businesses have access to, the number of start-ups could increase, decrease, or stay stable.

To help you evaluate the startup landscape in 2021, reach out to organizations such as the National Venture Capital Association and the National Business Incubation Association for resources and insights. Additionally, if you’re looking for pitch decks or case studies from start ups, AngelList and CrunchBase are excellent resources.

Good luck on your search for 2021 start-ups!
