The Equity Kicker: Ten reasons why startups fail

Jens · 10 months ago

Out of interest - which ones?
Alan Munro · 9 months ago

How about sharing the top 10 reasons why start ups succeed? Is it just a case of not making most of the mistakes noted above along with a having lots of good ideas that their market actually likes?

Good question Alan - it would be a different sort of list though as companies can fail for a single reason whilst success requires a multitude of things to all be in place. Further, whilst whilst we can all agree on what failure looks like sucess means differen things to different people.

Great market and great product would be a good start though.
