In this clip, Gareth Williams, the founder and Ex-CEO of Skyscanner, one of Scotlands most known unicorns, elaborates on key features of growth and how the industry that is tackled by a particular startup will affect its growth. In the context of Skyscanner's 10 year long steady growth of about 100% per year to hundreds of millions of visitors, he emphasises the value of returning visitors. Lastly, he also elaborates on how the tenacity of the team will be of bigger importance to the startups success than the idea per se.
