Article: How Startups Fail
- They deceive themselves as to what they have that is valuable in the market,
- they hold onto an internally generated theory about their business model,
- they don't test every assumption,
- they don't look for other models,
- they don't recognize the successes early on,
- they don't triage multiple models down to one,
- they don't execute on successes,
...and if they do any of the above, they don't do it fast enough.
