Common mistakes made by startups
Money matters
Improper handling of finance is the primary cause that many startups to die immature. It is quite natural for a business owner or the founder of the startup to get excited and invest the initial capital in many unnecessary expenses like appointing much staff, lavishing on office space. This will lead to burn up your spending too quickly, and there is no cash left out of your capital for your backup plan. What happens if you don’t get your returns on time as expected? Is there any money left to handle this situation.
Don’t go solo

But to make it practical, it takes more than just an idea; it requires hard work and expertise in another area of business needs. Thus, it takes more than an individual to understand and launch a startup.
Methodical planning
In recent times there are too much of talk about thinking out of the box and for startups, it’s about targeting those segment of the market which is either left alone or with less competitor. But any startup should understand this “if you have this great idea so does many other ” and if you have to make big, you have to face competitors. A good startup idea will always have a competitor, thus planning should be methodical.
Launching at the right time
Last but not the least; timing is everything
while launching a startup. You should evaluate the current economic and cultural situation of the market before launching a product or service. You should not rush your product launch just to beat your competitor. Because if the market is not ready to consume your product or service, then you will face the enterprise risk
On the other side, if you launch too late then you will lose your target to your competitor. Avoid unnecessary procrastination of product launch.
