The failure rate of startup businesses is not news to anyone in the world of entrepreneurship. And it’s equally sad to know that if you sift through the carcasses of these dead businesses, you will definitely find startups that were founded on great business ideas.
You may wonder why businesses built on brilliant ideas still fail. The answer is usually fairly simple. Having an idea for a business and having an idea about how to run a business are two entirely different things. The reason most startups fail centers around two things — management skill and financial skill. A dearth of any of these two can kill your business.
