Reasons Why Start-Ups Fail
December 16, 2012 2 Comments
1 Give up
When it comes to business success stories,a common trend you’ll hear is that the founders never gave up.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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.
8 Solving the Wrong Problem.
Many entrepreneurs often fail to see that the problem their idea aims to solve has a very small target audience.





Cash flow is a big killer too.
Yes.A very good point.
