Co-founder and CEO of Crederity. Most  recently, he was Partner & COO of Intivia, a healthcare services startup serving organizations across the United States. In 2004 he started looking for a totally innovative idea with a business plan that he wanted to run through formal VC process. This is how Crederity was found. Crederity was incubated in the Wharton School of Business, and was also a Wharton Business Plan Competition semi-finalist in 2004-2005. Now it is looking to grow in India. Rakesh is being advised by MVP to take this to the next level. We talked about MVP earlier here. [...] [...] I recently got a chance to talk to  Rakesh Antala. Co-founder and CEO of Crederity.

Shrinking market and economy downturn is bad for new business. The problems are not just getting new funding. I think it would also be finding new customers as the early adoptors would be hard to find. On the other front if startups are thinking about ad revenues, they will fall as well. Business consultants generally are taking a big hit when customers are hard to come by. This is a little counterintuitive but true.
