While those "reasons to fail" are common, they miss the bigger picture. True startup success isn't just about avoiding simple mistakes; it's about market timing, securing funding, building the right team, and navigating brutal competition. You can start lean and be consistent, but if your idea isn't truly differentiated or the market isn't ready, even perfect execution won't guarantee a win. Real success is more complex than just 90 days of effort.
