💡The Importance of Knowing Your Startup’s Default Fate Understand Your Default Fate : Startups must know if they are “default alive” or “default dead” to make informed decisions. Default Alive vs. Default Dead : - Default alive: Reaches profitability before running out of money. - Default dead: Runs out of money before becoming profitable. Impact on Strategy : - Default alive: Pursue ambitious projects. - Default dead: Focus on survival and changing trajectory. Avoid Risky Assumptions : - Easy fundraising isn’t guaranteed, especially with slow growth. - Being default dead without enough growth time leads to a “fatal pinch.” Early Assessment and Contingency Plans : - Assess default fate early and have a backup plan if fundraising fails. Prioritize Product Development : - Focus on product appeal over premature hiring to increase success chances and avoid the fatal pinch.
