Conduct a thorough market research
In order to become a successful startup, it is important to know your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT). SWOT analysis helps you understand the current market conditions and how to take advantage of the demands. It is important to build, iterate, improve and refine your software product to fit the market you are targeting. It is important to rapidly experiment and have an urge to get to the market in order to determine the best fit (Marvin, 2017)
Be prepared to hear a ‘No’
While pitching your idea to your investors, there is a possibility that many of them would say no. Getting the first check is the hardest because of which it is important to build a large list of investors and keep building it throughout the process. One of the biggest traits of successful startup companies is perseverance. Hence it is important to be prepared to hear a no without being disheartened.
Evolve with requirements
