Extraordinary Pursuits by BIP Ventures
Business:Investing
As any seasoned entrepreneur will tell you, starting and running a business is challenging. In fact, almost 90% of new startups fail—10% of those fail within the first year. The causes range from poor product-market fit to ineffective marketing, talent issues, and cash flow problems. Even with a real challenge to solve and the desire and grit to try, entrepreneurs need more to survive and thrive.
Entrepreneurs require proper preparation and support, along with clarity about the market and their customers, and a solid business plan. Continuous learning and seeking advice from mentors can provide valuable insights and help make better decisions. With the right steps and support, entrepreneurs can increase their chances of success.
In this episode, serial entrepreneur Jan Heybroek joins host Rachelle Kuramoto to share what he wished he had known early in his entrepreneurial journey. He explains why conviction in a market opportunity is a good starting point, how to confirm product market fit, why thinking ahead is a critical skill, and why perseverance is a core quality for any founder.
