These 18 Mistakes Can Murder Your Startup


Bangalore: ‘The weird idea gets the best applause’, that’s true today. In today’s world of deep slit throat competition it is difficult for any startup to be born, and if born, there are well established companies threatening these budding up startups with daggers and spears. The only immune system these baby startups can have is a weird or an extra ordinary idea; spears and daggers can’t really put this immune system down. This concept of a startup is like the ‘half full glass or half empty glass of water’; the way you perceive it.

Though there is a high possible chance of a startup being successful with the most creative idea, it needn’t nail it at the right place if certain other factors aren’t dealt seriously. ‘It isn’t easy to live but it is simple to kill’, risk and other unpredictable factors can be controlled only to a certain extent. Paul Graham a famous techie listed out a few of them, so let’s simply follow the notion of ‘Prevention is better than cure’ and thoroughly read to shield a budding startup.

Single Founder

“Your friend knows you the best”, if you can’t pull a friend into your startup business then, it’s a ‘no confidence’ movement. A co-founder is needed to support your decisions, take you out of stupid acts, and wholeheartedly cheer you up. May be at one point of time you may lose it all and your friend or the co-founder can anchor you up.

Bad location

Startups prosper not everywhere, the prosperity rate of such startups are recorded in the Silicon Valley.  To choose the right place is the best and also a confusing decision. An entrepreneur must look at the standards, availability of resources, likeminded people, supporting businesses and an additional advantage can be an amazing office setup.
