10 Mistakes that can kill your Start-Ups

 Most of the start-ups that fail have the following common characteristics: 

           

            • Incompetence 

            • Inadequate planning and knowledge 

            • Lack of experience 

                                                

 Some of the mistakes that some start-ups routinely make:                       

1. Premature Scaling

     The goal of each new business is to make it big in its respective market. When you first launch your business, it is prudent to only spend money on essential software and development. Premature scaling is the most popular reason why start-ups fail. 

2. Product-Market Misfit

     Poor synchronization between the start-up idea and market needs may be a common challenge for many start-ups. They very often fail to know the stress of the target market or lack a focused approach for catering to them. Poor research ends up in the misunderstanding of the target market, Inadequate demonstration of the value of the merchandise or service, launching a product before its market by some years, and A solution that doesn't solve the matter for an oversized set of individuals are several common causes of poor product-market fit. 

3. Lack of Financial Management

      One reason that keeps a business going is Cash flow. While creating the business model, you may build a revenue generation model regardless of how great your idea is, you may still need cash to obtain your marketing activities. Start-ups that don't measure their spending and gains or don't keep a record of their accounts will eventually go down the drain. 

4. Lack of Focus

      Start-ups include too many features at once. While trying to expand their offerings so soon, they deviate from their main idea. 

5. Strong Competition

    Strong competition naturally leads to a lack of clients. In addition to this, start-ups can also make resources worse to compete. At last exhaust, the business before it grows. 

6. Using Untested Technology

    Start-up founders often get fascinated by new technology and switch to them instead of using simpler, safer options. Implementing technology that's relevant to the market, but isn't relevant to the business can cause more difficulties. 

7. Single Founder

     Building a start-up on your own is hard, even if you could manage the workload, you still need people to help you out during the worst conditions. 

    

8. Bad Location

    Keeping high standards while establishing start-ups and selecting a location where the kind of people one wants to hire wants to live there, together with enough supporting industries and the people we happen to encounter are in the same business.

9. Choosing the wrong platform

     A really negative thing about wrong platforms being sometimes it always seems to the outsiders to be fine, responsible choices and yet it destroys if one chooses them. 

10. Wrong Audience Targeting

     If you don’t have a selected audience in mind, then you don’t know who to plug your product into with enough conviction. Make sure that you know exactly who you’re selling to.
