WHAT DO STARTUPS NEED TO KNOW?
Most startups do not prepare well enough to start a business. Startups are subject to basic business principles. What you need to do in the beginning is to prepare a business plan, secure proper financing, register as a company, surround yourself with the right people, and become a marketing expert. You may have the best product or service in the world, but if no one knows about it, then your startup cannot succeed. You will need to develop a certain company culture in the company. Stay true to your idea, but you must also accept justified criticism and advice from the outside. Hard work awaits you.
WHY STARTUPS FAIL?
The reasons are very different. For the most part, the reason is that they do not develop a product that would be of interest to the market, as they see only their basic idea and do not listen to other opinions or experts with experience in the field. There may be other reasons, such as poor management, not starting with enough capital, inappropriate marketing, competition with a better product or solution, hiring the wrong employees, mispricing the product or service, etc.
WHY STARTUPS SUCCEED?
Most of them succeed because they are ready, have a scalable business model in place and their business ensures long-term exponential growth.
WHAT ARE THE FINANCING / CAPITAL OPTIONS TO START?
There are several different ways to raise funds to start a business: Community development finance institutions, Venture capital, Partner financing, Angel investors, Crowdfunding, Work for equity, Grants, Convertible debt.
You will need to choose an option based on the maturity of your business and whether or not you want to rely on outside investors.
You can build a network of investors to connect you with other founders, financing is at the heart of any business's success, but it can turn into a serious time commitment. However, by working with the right investors and taking the time to be purposeful in your pitch, you can take important steps toward funding your company.
WHAT ARE THE STARTUP FUNDING STAGES?
There are 7 major startup funding stages that every entrepreneur or startup developer needs to be aware of. This presents a linear progression for successful startups but not every startup will manage to proceed to the next stage.
Pre-see funding – funding from friends and family
Seed funding – angel investors, incubators and early-stage funding VC’s
Series A funding – VC’s, accelerators
Series B funding – VC’s (late-stage)
Series C funding – VC’s, private equity firms,
Series D funding (optional if needed)
IPO – Stock Market Launch – open to the public
Most startups at the beginning can relatively obtain smaller funds to start a business and an idea. They then partially implement the idea and start looking for someone who will invest more resources to complete development of the idea.
In our opinion, they are making a big mistake here. They are looking for an investor instead of looking for smart people who have expertise in what you do and how you do it. These experts will give you their opinion on what you are doing and also an opinion on what you may be doing wrong. Also, these professionals will prepare you so far that you are ready for investors. Many times, they will also help you to find the right investors with their network.
