The harsh reality is that most startups fail to reach Series B funding. According to CB Insights, the primary culprits behind these failures are insufficient funding and a lack of a strong team. 

Support Startups

Many startups assume that top-tier executives are prohibitively expensive and opt to forgo their expertise. 

This can be a costly mistake, as a strong leadership team is crucial for driving growth and mitigating risks.

To scale their operations, startups often turn to hiring junior talent to keep costs low. While this may seem like a budget-friendly solution, it can actually hinder long-term growth. Junior employees require significant time and resources to train and develop, and without experienced guidance, they may make costly errors that can drain the company's finances.

Founders may believe they can shoulder the burden of managing a growing team and overseeing multiple departments. However, this approach is unsustainable and can lead to burnout and decreased productivity.
