It seems to be happening often enough. It starts off great: mobile entrepreneurs are struck with unique, off-beat ideas for a mobile application. They rush headlong into the fray, keyed up to strike it big in the industry. But, while some entrepreneurs do hit the mark, others do not. It ends with a sour note and bucket-load of lessons to be learned. So, why do some mobile startups get off the right note, while others fail to get off the ground. The panel “Why Do Mobile Startups Fail” will strive to answer just that.
