All leading entrepreneurs face scepticism at some stage, but few would’ve had to deal with hearing the word ‘no’ as often as Sahil Merchant.

Today, Merchant tells StartupSmart how he went about creating Mag Nation, despite naysayer investors and industry figures. His subsequent success will provide a boost to any budding start-up that is facing moments of doubt.

Don’t forget, there’s still time to enter the 2011 StartupSmart Awards. Just by entering, your business will be listed in this newsletter. To enter, click here.
