Stealth Startup

Zee A · Answer

Stuck. It's a hard place to be, but the more you try the more you fail, and the more you will learn and succeed.

Answer

A startup that never takes off or fails to launch is commonly referred to as a "failed startup," "failed venture," or a "dead startup." In the business world, it's not uncommon for startups to fail, as many new businesses face challenges and obstacles that prevent them from achieving success. The high failure rate among startups is often attributed to factors such as poor market research, lack of funding, poor management, and intense competition. Despite these challenges, many entrepreneurs continue to start new ventures, taking lessons learned from past failures to create successful businesses.

@randomlygirl I didn't expect for a positive comment, but this is so nice. Thanks Pavani!

@ken_yasue Yeah! it's super common. I've been in dev agency for more than 4yrs. 70% of the "idea" of those so called startups died within the 1-2nd year of their operations, even though we tried to help them and give them advices on technical aspect. We can do a collab on our agencies soon if you'd like to, just reach me out!
