What is happening?

90% - innovative startups fail

80% - VCs fail Startup Accelerators are following the VC pattern

Statistics

Are they focused on creating

value?

or financial performance

But do VCs, Incubators, and

Accelerators really address the

reasons why startups fail?

It needs to change…

‒ Lack of competency ‒ Not understanding how customers buy ‒ Conflicts with partners or investors

Top three causes for startup

failure

The key to

successful startups

‒ Passion ‒ Optimism ‒ Visualizaiton ‒ Fostering a startup culture ‒ Competency Building

Each of these causes can be

eliminated through deep & applied

skill and knowledge development

Thank you!
