Why 68% of Product Ventures Fail
❌ Technical Blindspots
Teams miss critical dependencies, scalability limits, and integration challenges until it's too late to correct.
❌ Market Assumptions
Building for markets that seem logical but don't actually exist, or are too small/inaccessible to sustain growth.
❌ False Problems
Solving problems customers don't care about or building features for symptoms instead of root causes.
❌ Integration Nightmares
Hidden costs, organizational resistance, and technical blockers that emerge after significant investment.
