Let me tell you a secret. When it comes to startup success, there is no one “secret”.
Every one wants that one “formula” or “recipe” that can guarantee success (we’ve all tried!), but so much of the journey revolves around understanding how your unique business works, your own customers and clients, their needs and pain points, and how you’re uniquely positioned to meet them in an innovative way.
And while my business partners Tim Wearne, Ryan Miller, and myself have certainly seen patterns that help raise the probability of success (make sure your employees’ superannuation is paid on time!), what success looks like if you’re reshaping the world of robotics will look different than if you’re creating software systems for law firms.
