startups waste time trying to make their business perfect, instead of
pushing their offering into the marketplace to make money and gain
valuable feedback. What customers want to know is how your product or
service will bring value to their life. Customers have problems that need
to be solved and your business needs to be their solution
Module-9 “

the normal business but with less range because startups are at very
initial stage and they don’t need much expertise in this. Startup core
team needs to focus on developing product & services, building
partnership and earning revenues. Startup internal source should be
focused on core competencies, not on side tasks. As startups grow it
bring new challenges for Co-Founders. That is why, Co-Founders need
to develop people & management skills over the startup lifecycle.
