Before You Build a Startup, Build This Structure First Here’s the core startup structure to build before scaling 👇 1️⃣ Problem > Idea 42% of startups fail due to no real market need. Start with: A clear customer segment Top 3 painful problems Existing solutions customers already use If people aren’t solving the problem today, they won’t pay tomorrow. 2️⃣ Simple Team Structure (Early Stage) You don’t need many people—just the right roles: CEO → vision, strategy, partnerships CTO / Product Lead → build and iterate MVP Growth / Sales → users, revenue, feedback Everything else can wait or be outsourced. 3️⃣ MVP, Not a Full Product Build the smallest version that: Solves one real problem Is tested with real users Validates willingness to pay No perfection. Just proof. 4️⃣ Financial Survival First 29% of startups fail because they run out of cash. Track: Monthly burn Runway Cost to acquire one customer 🚀 Rule of thumb: Build structure → validate demand → then scale.
