N2  - A conventional meaning
of failure (lack of
success) is not what we
mean when we ask the
question, 'Why start
ups fail to scale?'. To some, failure
may mean having to give up a
venture totally; to others it may
mean a change of initial plan or
idea. It may also mean not being
able to grow the business to the
scale that was initially envisaged.
Success is relative and is subject to
individual interpretations. In spite
of all the planning, challenges faced
and solutions identified-there can
be many reasons why start ups fail
to scale. This article tries to curtail
your blind spot on the not-soobvious
reasons why start ups fail
to scale. Awareness of factors
leading to failures increases the
chances of success.
The inputs for the article are based
on the qualitative feedback
captured from entrepreneurs and
