[finished] The Way Startups Die Series
Finished this series over the past week on different death modes (so hopefully you can avoid them). Hope you enjoy and learn from some deep pain both me and friends have experienced (and don’t repeat it!)
Giving Up (Giving Up)
Market Risk (Measure Twice Cut Once: The Idea Maze and Dead Ends)
Platform / Partner Risk (Platform / Partner Risk)
Cofounder Deadlock (Cofounder Deadlock)
Not Shipping (Pivot Hell and Not Shipping)
Stagnation (The Stagnation Trap)
Raising too much (Raising too Much)
There are more ways, but these are common failures. I might add a bit over time but thought this was a pretty complete list of things-to-avoid. Enjoy!
