Area of expertise: Part 3/5

The third step to reaching my goal is to go from working at a startup to founding my own 3d printing company. Hopefully after years working at big and small 3d printing companies i will have both the expertise needed and the idea required to create a new 3d printing company. i think that by the time i reach this step, 3d printing revolution will be in full swing. Already the 3d printing industry is growing fast, and the is so much innovation needed, and i hope the company i found will contribute to bringing 3d printing to the masses. I believe that i need to found my own company before make a venture capital fund because it isn’t enough to just work at a startup i need to build one myself. how can i expect investors to give me money to invest in the 3d printing market when i have not proven that i can successfully run a company. There are some large players in the industry–Stratsys, 3D Systems, Ponoko, and Shapeways–and the space is beginning to get crowded. But there’s certainly room for a newcomer with an inventive approach. The 3-D printing market grew 28.6 percent in 2012 to $2.2 billion, according to Wohlers Associates. we seen that there is a lot of room to grow and innovate by starting a company.
