Top Startup Mistakes to Avoid

1. Skipping Market Research The Mistake: Relying on assumptions rather

than evidence. Even the "next big idea" will fail if there isn't a market for it.

• The Fix: Validate before you invest. Talk to your target audience, gather real data,

and ensure there is a genuine demand for your solution. 2. Poor Financial Planning

The Mistake: Overspending on "vanity" assets like luxury office spaces or high-end tools that don't

contribute to the bottom line. • The Fix: Treat every cent as a vital resource.

Keep overhead low and prioritize spending on activities that directly drive user growth and revenue.

3. Ignoring Feedback The Mistake: Becoming so attached to your original vision
