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.

It’s about connecting the dots, not just focusing on one!
