Why 90% of Startups Fail—And How to Avoid It Most startups don’t fail because of bad ideas. They fail because founders overlook the fundamentals. That’s why accelerators exist—to give founders the structure, validation, and investor connections they need to succeed. 🔥 In our latest chat, Sarah Gottwald, MD at Blockchain Founders Group (BFG) , breaks down 3 key lessons every founder MUST get right: 1. Clear Roles & Responsibilities Without leadership clarity, execution slows down. A strong team has strong accountability. 2. Sell Before You Build If people won’t buy the idea, they won’t buy the product. Early validation is a MUST. 3. Real Commitments > Polite Yeses A “great idea” is useless if no one actually pays for it. Accelerators push founders to get LOIs, pre-orders, and real traction—not just compliments. This is where the BFG Accelerator gives founders an unfair advantage: ✅ Access top-tier mentorship & investors ✅ Fast-track growth with expert guidance ✅ Avoid the mistakes that kill 90% of startups BFG Accelerator applications close on Feb 28! If you’re serious about building in Web3, don’t wait. Apply now & build with the right support. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g7PASdBR Till Rügge Max Ilse Kuan-Ning T.
