Every year, thousands of tech startups launch with big ideas… but over 90% never make it past year 5.
Why? It’s usually not the code . it’s the strategy.
Here are the most common reasons behind startup failure:
❌ No real problem solved : Cool tech is useless if nobody needs it.
📉 Weak market research: Building before understanding your audience is a recipe for disaster.
💸 Running out of cash: Great ideas die without a solid business model and budget discipline.
🤝 Poor team dynamics Misaligned visions or weak communication can sink even the best product.
📊 Ignoring user feedback Products fail when founders stop listening.
The good news? 💡
Startups that stay close to their users, solve real problems, and stay financially lean are the ones that survive and thrive.
