Is Your Startup Doomed to Fail? Here's How to Tell

[@crystalkendzior1969]

You have such a wealth of knowledge, let me come work for you. Not kidding.

[@RawStartup]

Thanks, much appreciated! Maybe someday!

Love the expression, default alive, and its very true that we couldnt raise convertible loans if we didnt have a vc plan that would increase growth and revenue making us both default investable and default alive. I completely understand the fine line because otherwise we are not interesting enough

[@RawStartup]

Exactly, glad it was helpful

[@rakoczipiroska5632]

Thank you for all and each of your videos, but especially for this one. I am working on a formula showing if a startup is investable or not and you are teaching the fundamentlas here. Thank you again.

[@RawStartup]

Thank you very much, glad it was helpful, you should my video on how to evaluate a Startup idea, it will probably be helpful.

I have a brilliant idea which I've spent a lot of time working on, unfortunately my co-founder has dropped out making it difficult to get started. Is it worth pitching the idea in the idea stage? Any advice on how to get the initial investment as it's difficult to assume revenue without an MVP

[@RawStartup]

It is better to lose the confounder now rather than later when you have a slot more at stake. I would always try and build something before pitching it.

Awesome video, so much drama!

[@RawStartup]

Yes this is a matter of life and death!

Is coloring game for kids is a good idea to spend time ❤

[@RawStartup]

Not something I'm an expert in, but sounds amazing!

[@hello-ny2ui]

What about a startup to find maids and helpers services

[@RawStartup]

I'm sure that could work in the right market!

[@bradleystone6498]

The problem is that this calculation technique relies on everything being linear, but customer acquisition and spending are both non-linear. I appreciate the video, but it doesn't really connect with the financial reality. To better understand whether you are default-alive or default-dead, you need a full financial model (pro-forma projections). Thank you for the video, though!

[@RawStartup]

Thanks yes this is a simple model not suitable for everyone. Better at the early stage, but can can also give a good indication for simulating more complicated cases.

[@stickygames1800]

😂😂😂 It's just a guide! No one will come to give you the magic formula. Every business is different, if you can't identify that, you haven't learned anything from this channel

[@rethinkyourself1]

What? JK 😉
