If the Shoe Fits: Lessons From 178 Failed Startups
by Miki SaxonA Friday series exploring Startups and the people who make them go. Read all If the Shoe Fits posts here.
Yesterday we looked at how dangerous it is to substitute what-we-wish for what-really-is and I promised you a look at startups that died as a result.
Which is what I’m going to do, but not by reinventing the wheel (there’s enough of that without a contribution from me,)
CB Insights put together a great list of 178 failed startups — why they failed as told by their founders or, occasionally, an investor — including links to the full articles.
I hope you take the time to read through, especially those that parallel your own markets, circumstances, etc.
Save the list as a reference; the lessons learned could keep you from stepping in the poo now or somewhere down the road.
