Pain of Innovators

Why most ideas and startups FAIL?

Unclear market need

Startups fail when they are not solving a market problem. When they tackl interesting problems, but without a real market need and no customers really interested in the proposed business model.

42% of startups fail when they don't serve a market need

Funding

Almost one third of failing startups claim that running out of money contributed to failure, while another 13% struggled to get financing. Cash is king for startups. Even a successful business model will fail without proper cash flow.

29% of startups fail due to cash shortage

Competition

Startups fail when they are not able to manage the competition needs. Once an idea gets hot or gets market validation, there may be many entrants in a space. And while obsessing over the competitors is not creative, ignoring them was also a recipe for failure in 19% of the startup unsuccessful cases.
