Reasons Why Start-Ups Fail


wealthymatters.comGive up 

When it comes to business success stories,a common trend you’ll hear is that the founders never gave up.

Ideas Alone are Worthless 

Ideas themselves aren’t worth much, its the people behind the ideas that matter,and how committed they are to executing their vision.

Overbuild 

Too few start-ups focus on creating the minimum viable product,or MVP.Creating the MVP means developing a product that’s easy to understand. Don’t overbuild.

No plan for marketing 

Most startup founders focus so much on their product that they neglect to develop a strategy or create a budget for marketing the product.

No mentors 

While its often OK to throw out criticism you don’t find constructive,it can be even more damaging to neglect to take the advice of those who’ve come before you.

Cast a wide net 

If your target audience is too vast,your idea isn’t going to last.The best start ups locate their niche as well as a small target audience.

Wrong team 

Another reason start ups fail is because the founders bring in the wrong partners.Find partners who are on the same page as you.

Solving the Wrong Problem.

Many entrepreneurs often fail to see that the problem their idea aims to solve has a very small target audience.
