Why 80% of founders fail to successfully establish their startup on the market...
A business idea and some seed capital are not enough
to build a successful startup.
A message from Markus Almer
Dear Entrepreneur,
If you are like most founders, then you may be familiar with these problems:
- You developed a great product, but despite considerable sales efforts, you are unable to generate enough customer sales.
- Your prototype works but you don't have the right business model for how you can earn money with it in the long term.
- You have to make a lot of decisions and often feel insecure about the correctness of your decisions.
- You are overwhelmed by the tasks you have to take care of and struggle to prioritize and create clarity for yourself and your team.
Don't worry, that's how most people out there feel!
Why your innovative business idea and some seed capital are not enough to build a successful startup.
Many founders believe that all they need is a unique new idea, and a great product and customers will be beating down their door. However, they are so focused on the countless possibilities of the product that they fail to understand the actual needs and desires of the target market, which ultimately leads to low sales figures.
One of the most common reasons why startups stumble is a lack of clarity. Maybe your business model is working fine on a small scale, but you lack a clear strategy on how to scale.
Almost every second founder fails because they have not recognized the fundamental factors that quickly lead their startup into existential difficulties.
The truth is that success depends on a variety of factors that are important and often underestimated.
An innovative product alone does not guarantee success.
The product must be desired and needed by a sufficiently large market.
Start-up founders must have a deep understanding of their customers. This includes the behavior, preferences and pain points of the target group.
The start-up world is dynamic and fast-moving. Founders must therefore be extremely adaptable and resilient. Flexibility and the ability to learn from mistakes and overcome setbacks are crucial.
The solution is clear: only a precise match between your product and the market and a laser focus on sales will lead to success.
However, to be able to move strongly up the success curve, the following must change for you and your startup:
- We need to strengthen your mindset. This is a combination of resilience, adaptability, a proactive attitude, a willingness to learn, a willingness to take risks and a strong visionary focus. These elements will help you navigate successfully and lead your startup to success.
- We must focus on sales. Without strong sales, no company can survive in the long term. This requires a deep understanding of the sales process, adapted sales techniques, and constant adaptation to market changes.
- We need to sharpen your product-market fit. It means that your product fits so seamlessly into the needs and desires of your target customers that it is seen as indispensable. This is not achieved by chance, but through strategic planning, in-depth market analysis and continuous customer feedback.
