90% of start-ups fail
20 reasons start-ups fail
CB Insights
Lack of market analysis (42%), insufficient funding or financial resources (37%), and the absence of a viable business model (17%) rank among the most frequently cited causes of start-up failures.
Skully, Utrip, Zirtual, LayerVault, Frankly, and RoomsTonite are prime examples of start-ups that initially showed promise but ultimately faltered due to a combination of critical financing issues, flawed business models, and misaligned market strategies. Their experiences highlight the complex interplay between securing adequate investment, developing a sustainable and scalable business model, and accurately assessing and responding to market demands.

Do I need to pay for pitch / model or can I start fundraising directly?We have had customers with on-point pitches and models. In these cases we can directly start the fundraising process. However, if we feel that the model and / or pitch is not there yet, we will not expose our network to lower quality. If in this case the start-up is not willing to invest into its documents, we will not start an engagement.
