Seeking Capital Is One Thing... But Excelling With Capital Is Another
Raise. Deploy. Scale. Repeat.
Why do most startups fail?
Even experienced operators fail – 50% of the time.
Most VCs favor the founder over an attractive opportunity.
However, if the company falls short investors are inclined to cite the inadequacies of its founders – their lack of grit, industry acumen, or leadership ability and so on.
This is not always the case.
Top Reasons Why Startups Fail
Failed to raise capital
No product market fit
Got outcompeted
Flawed business model
Regulatory/legal challenges
Pricing/cost issues
What no one seems to talk about is that timing IS everything...
Geography matters.
Scaling is VERY hard.
Growth capital is increasingly difficult to raise.
And if you are outside Silicon Valley, fewer than 25% of companies that raise their Seed and Series A make it to the growth round.
It’s not too late for you.

Before $5K MRR is usually a bit early, and if you’re over $100K in MRR, it is usually a bit late.
