Why Most Startups Fail to Scale
Most founders think scaling is all about growth.
More customers. More revenue. More investors.
But the real challenge? Being ready before the growth comes.
Over 90% of startups fail. And for immigrant founders, the roadblocks can be even bigger:
✔️ No built-in network – Breaking into the right circles takes time.
✔️ Investor hesitation – Many VCs prefer to back local, homegrown businesses.
✔️ Market complexity – Regulations, hiring laws, and taxes all vary.
✔️ Scaling too soon – Expanding before you’re ready can be fatal.
The solution? Laying the foundation for scale before you even need it.
In the next email, I’ll walk you through the exact framework to make sure your business is investor-ready, scalable, and positioned for long-term growth.
For now, ask yourself:
- If I doubled my customers tomorrow, could my business handle it?
- If an investor asked for a financial model today, could I deliver it?
- If I stepped away for a month, would things still run smoothly?
If the answer isn’t a clear yes, you’re not alone. That’s exactly what we’re tackling next.
