Overview
A shocking 90% of start-ups fail. If you want to be part of the elusive 10%, you need to understand what to avoid – both as an entrepreneur and an investor.
From technology to the market, from leadership to money, there are numerous reasons why your start-up will fail. Professor Bernard Bulkin – who has been at both sides of the investment table – talks you through the six major reasons why start-ups don't succeed, and how to avoid them.
Instead of accepting failure as inevitable, or believing that failing is good, this book looks at the main reasons why start-ups fail and how to turn them on their head. Whether you're a founder or an investor, if you're going to put in the effort to make a company succeed, you should go in with your eyes open. Bernie's common-sense approach offers the experience of a venture capitalist who has been there and done that.
Leadership at all levels makes a difference. Using real life examples, and applying behavioural economics to venture decision-making, Why Start-Ups Fail helps readers understand what founders most often lack, and discusses the who, how and why of making a start-up succeed.
