On various occasions, we notice that a start up venture is not successful,it fails after a few months.The reasons of this phenomenon may be lack of proper understanding of market(customer needs),improper timing,inadequate finance, improper business model,no team spirit,lack of administrative skills and locational disadvantage.What are the other reasons responsible for the well planned Start Ups,particularly in a developing country like India.
Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG, Bankruptcy of startups occurs in every country. Most emerging startups fail within one or two years of being created. It results from a very high investment, business, financial risk etc. related to the conducted business venture. Often, emerging startups develop innovative technologies and / or products, services offered, etc. Then there is the risk of innovation. Due to the high level of risk, it is difficult for startups to find banks that would be willing to credit the implementation of a planned innovative business venture. Specialized investment funds deal with external financing of innovative startups. In addition, startups more and more often use new forms of crowdfunding, equity financing, crowdfounding and other forms of financing available via the Internet for innovative investment projects with high investment risk. Investment funds financing the development of innovative startups implement an investment policy taking into account the bankruptcy statistics of newly established startups. Well, they choose startups with high business growth potential and high prognosis for successful implementation of an innovative business venture. For example, they choose 10 startups to finance their development, assuming that at least half of these 10 startups will fail within 2 years of their inception, 2 or 3 startups will survive this period and will operate for at least a few years but with poor business results and only 1 startup will achieve great success, high level of growth and after a few years the investment fund will be able to sell its shares in this startup with a large profit. In connection with the above, the key issue is to improve models for estimating the risk of bankruptcy of newly created startups and to develop the state's economic policy supporting the development of innovation, including creating conditions for the development of innovative startups. This is particularly important in knowledge-based economies where innovation and entrepreneurship are an important production factor.

Hi.,
- Startups fail because there are no rules and no formula.
- Startups fail because founders underestimate the time and energy needed to make them survive.
- Startups fail because it's hard to get attention in a crowded market.
- Startups fail because new technology makes them obsolete
Thanks a lot for explaining very relevant and responsible factors for Start Ups failure. It is a fact that changes in Govt.Policy may result in failure of a Start Up,not always,but sometimes it may so happen.

Very simply: they overestimate their knowledge, skills and capabilities and/or understimate market dynamics, competition.
The most common reason for startup failure is an entrepreneur’s assuming a brilliant idea is enough. Some entrepreneurs sincerely believe they’ll come up with a great idea and customers will immediately beg for it and fork over their money. But actually, they don’t. In fact, the number one reason why start-ups fail was “no market need.” In other words, there was no customer. Sometimes failure was the result of not having the right people on board. Other times, the lack of alignment among the founders and/or their investors was to blame.
To avoid challenges with market fit, startups should validate their products using pilot projects before launching. Or alternatively, they can conduct beta testing to significantly reduce the risk of failure and market rejection.
