Intellectual property protection is often an afterthought for startups, and that can come back to bite them later on. Get your patents, trademarks, and contracts in order from day one to avoid costly legal battles down the road.

While AI and automation are powerful tools, I've seen startups try to over-rely on them too early, neglecting the human element of building relationships with customers and truly understanding their needs. Secondly Wrapper startups, who are not building keeping future updates of major platforms like OpenAI, Gemini, and Claude in mind. Because no startup can overtake them at this point due to their computing power.

Expanding too quickly is a classic pitfall. It's tempting to want to scale as soon as you see early traction, but without a solid foundation and systems in place, rapid growth can actually do more harm than good.

Don't underestimate the importance of cultural fit when building your early team. I've seen promising startups implode because of toxic workplace environments and clashing personalities at the top.

When they do market research, they often suffer from confirmation bias and only seek out opinions that align with their preconceived notions. This is a huge killer.
