Startup failure isn’t caused by just one factor—it’s usually a combination of all these challenges. A great product without market fit (B) won’t sell. Even with PMF, poor marketing (D) means no customers. A strong team (C) is crucial, but without funding (A), execution becomes impossible. Success comes from balancing all these elements—validating the market, building the right team, securing funds strategically, and crafting a solid go-to-market strategy. It’s about connecting the dots, not just focusing on one!

Most startups don’t fail because of bad products. They fail because they whisper in a world that rewards those who scream strategically. It’s not about shouting louder — it’s about knowing where to shout, when to shout, and who to shout at.

In a startup, everyone does a little bit of everything. One day, I’m handling code; the next, I’m helping with social media or talking to clients. It’s a balancing act that’s sometimes overwhelming, but it’s also what makes this journey so exciting.
