For startup incubators supporting idea-stage and pre-MVP founders
Most startups don't fail because of bad ideas. They fail because of bad leadership and bad technical decisions made too early, when founders lack context, experience, and support.
Most startups don't fail because of bad ideas. They fail because of bad leadership and bad technical decisions made too early, when founders lack context, experience, and support.
In incubators, we repeatedly see:
Founders overbuilding before validating
Wrong tech stacks chosen too early
Freelancers and vendors creating IP ambiguity
Money wasted on tools and infrastructure that don’t scale
“Silent” tech debt forming before a product even exists
Once these mistakes are made, they’re expensive - and sometimes impossible - to undo.
