It can pivot once, twice, or as many times as required to achieve product-market fit. It has often been highlighted that startups predominantly emerge from the tech sector. This illustrates an important point: technology is one of the easiest sectors to scale, with fewer infrastructure constraints. Additionally, as one of the sectors experiencing the greatest disruption, it allows for rapid iteration. Startups can add, subtract, or modify their product’s features. Another vital aspect of startups is their ability to address specific market gaps and unmet needs. They often identify niche markets or underserved segments and develop products or services tailored to meet those demands. Startups are not meant to replace large, established businesses but rather to complement and challenge them. While large companies have their advantages in terms of resources and market share, startups bring agility, fresh perspectives, and the ability to disrupt existing industries. It is evident that startups require substantial support to navigate the challenges and complexities of the business world, whether it’s in the form of funds, mentorship or industry connections.
