There has been enough written about startups and reasons why almost all of them fail. So, why write another post about this? Even though there is no dearth of resources (blogs, videos, books, stories, etc) on reasons why startups fail and how to avoid them, I don’t see any reduction in the failure rates of startups; I don’t see them learning from the mistakes of other failed startups; I don’t see them focus on the right things that can help them avoid failure.
It is crucial that we understand that building a startup is not like a chemical reaction à add the right resources, under the right environment and you are certain of the results you will get. Starting and running a startup is a complex system with too many moving parts and any change in any of them could trigger a flow of events that could end in a catastrophe for the startup. Given this understanding, there are still some things that the startup founders could control, things that can significantly improve the probability of success.

The technology industry is – without a doubt – fiercely competitive. This is especially true for startups that offer Software as a Service (SaaS) as their survival obligates them to meet demands of constant innovation, adaptability and customer satisfaction. Consequently, these businesses must know how to successfully exploit new opportunities for growth as well as deliver an exceptional customer experience.
As a fellow SaaS company, Mopinion is very familiar with all the ins and outs of making a product successful and maintaining a certain level of innovation, while simultaneously meeting the needs of current and future customers.

One of the most oft-asked questions that I encounter by early-stage startups is "Do I really need to spend time on marketing? Why not focus on just building the product and let it lead the path of marketing? And if I have to start, from where do I start?"

Every startup brings with it a set of challenges. If not taken care of, these challenges could have serious repercussions. In this post, we will be discussing the common challenges faced by startups and tools that could become their saviour. Do you know that 50 million new startups are being launched every year? Out of those 50 million startups, 90 percent of startups fail. The numbers are large by any standard. The world of startups is violent and at times unpredictable. That’s why startups struggle for multiple reasons.
Some die as quickly as they were launched while some make a fortune. The ones that get successful anticipate challenges in advance and successfully stand the test of time. In this particular post, I am going to discuss the common challenges that startups face and how they can use various tools to overcome them. Let’s take a look at them one by one:
