Startups are booming—but many crash before they even take off. 1. Chasing trends over solving real problems – Cool doesn’t always mean useful. 2. Skipping market research – Assumptions aren't data. 3. Building before validating – MVPs exist for a reason. 4. Neglecting team dynamics – A great idea with a broken team still fails. 5. Ignoring cash flow – Profit might be far, but cash keeps you alive. Avoid these traps, and you're already ahead of most. Let me know your opinion in the comments.
