Surviving the Valley of Death

The startup that I am co-founder of, Mint Tek Circuits, has just emerged from the Valley of Death. We are not yet completely out of the danger zone, but we believe the worst is behind us. The valley of death refers to the period in the early stage of a startup before it is generating positive cash flows. It has been an exciting journey, though not one for the faint hearted. I am writing this blog to share our experiences, to outline the steps we took to survive and grow, and what we might have done differently.
