In my experience, one primary factor contributing to the failure of startups is a lack of market research.
Many startups fail because they don't fully understand their target audience or haven't identified a genuine need for their product or service.
Additionally, a lack of effective marketing strategies and inadequate financial planning can also contribute to the downfall of startups.
Lack of market fit and insufficient funding

According to statistics, marketing is often at the root of startup failures.
It's difficult... Personally, I think it's a matter of narrowing our perspective and not seeing issues for what they are.

It's better to find a problem first before creating a solution.
@judith_amarachi_ absolutely! and after finding that problem, identify how big of a problem and big of an addressable market solving that problem would entail. then things are going to boil down to how effecting and efficient you are at solving that problem and retaining those adopters to a point where they being your biggest advocates.

Spending too many resources on creating something before validating and making sure that there is enough demand for it.
@gabriele_mazzola Thank you so much
A major reason being not being able to figure out if there is a market for that product. The other factor being not having the right team.
@johngriffith Thank you so much
Startup failure is often caused by a combination of factors, including poor product-market fit, poor execution, team problems, financial problems, and external factors.
