When a startup dies, it’s never because of “bad timing” A founder I worked with recently blamed the market for shutting down his product. But let’s be honest - it wasn't the market. It was: a. No user obsession b. Fundraise delay c. No urgency to pivot when things broke Most startup deaths are quiet. No big scandal. Just slow decay caused by silence and inaction. 9 out of 10 times, founders knew it was going south… long before it ended. Ask yourself: what are you pretending not to notice?
