The Scaling Playbook: Growth Without Burning Your Runway
From FROM IDEA TO INVESTMENT Podcast · 21:12
Show by Brad Young
Here's a truth that catches founders completely off guard: raising money doesn't make you safe. In many ways, it makes you more vulnerable. Because now you have fuel, and fuel makes it easy to move fast in the wrong direction. Remember that statistic from the Startup Genome Project I've mentioned before? Premature scaling accounts for roughly 70 percent of startup failures among high-growth companies. Seven out of ten. These weren't founders who failed to grow. They were founders who grew the wrong way, at the wrong time, and burned through their runway before their business was ready to support it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/from-idea-to-investment-podcast--7044310/support.Thanks for hanging out with us on From Idea to Investment, ranked in the top 10% of podcasts worldwide.
