💡 Why most startups really die, and how to avoid it. It’s not because they run out of money. It’s because they scale something that’s fundamentally broken. They raise a round, skip the learning, and pour fuel on a flawed engine..only to realize (too late) that every $1 turned into $0.90. Momentum killed them, not the lack of it. Here are two brutal laws every founder learns the hard way: - Law 1: Capital compounds what already exists Good foundation? Capital accelerates growth. Broken model? Capital speeds up collapse. VC money doesn’t fix flawed assumptions, it amplifies them. - Law 2: All positive systems eventually hit diminishing returns That high-performing ad? It plateaus. Your go-to landing page? Stops converting. What once gave you $1 → $5… soon gives $1 → $1.50 → $0.90. 1. Don’t confuse early wins with scalable systems. 2. Nail the engine before you scale it. Because capital is a multiplier, not a miracle.
