What Kills Tech Start-Ups?
Duke Brooks sent me this piece that attempts to answer the question: What Kills Tech Start-Ups.
I believe that good ideas often need expert timing, something that is not easy to predict. If you’re one step ahead of the market, you’re a pioneer; you get the best land, and before you know it, that land is worth a fortune. This problem is this: If you’re two steps ahead of the market, you get barbecued.
Craig, as usual, you’ve gotten the timing equation exactly right. The problem, as you said, is in…getting the timing equation exactly right!
Enthusiasm, a great product, intellect, funding, expertise…all fall by the wayside if the timing is off. Renewable/green energy without question is the future; the question is: When, exactly, does that future begin?
