Why Early-Stage Startups Need the Right Expertise. The reality is harsh—90% of startups fail globally, with even higher rates in regions like Africa. In Ethiopia and Rwanda, for example, 75% of startups fail in their first year. These statistics paint a clear picture: most early-stage ventures don't have the luxury to apply advanced financial skills and other from our trainings. What should be the priorities? At this stage, startups are grappling with survival. The focus is on: = Securing initial funding to develop and launch their ideas. = Achieving product-market fit to meet customer needs and generate revenue. = Managing cash flow to avoid running out of resources during the critical “Death Valley” period. So, what do early-stage startups need most? They need trainers and mentors with relevant expertise who understand the realities of startup challenges. Here's what makes a difference: 1️Startup Funding Stages: Insights into pre-seed, seed, Series A, and beyond. 2️Sources of Funding: Knowledge of grants, angel investors, VCs crowdfunding, and more, tailored to different stages. 3️Use of Funds: Practical guidance on prioritizing spending, minimizing burn rates, and investing in growth. 4️Pitching & Fundraising: How to craft compelling pitches and build investor relationships. 5️Startup Metrics: Understanding key metrics like CAC, LTV, and runway to impress investors. Experts who bring hands-on startup experience, mentorship skills, and a deep understanding of the local ecosystem and how startup works can empower founders with actionable strategies that ensure survival and growth. It’s time we shift the focus for early-stage startups—less on advanced theoretical concepts and more on the foundational skills that address their most pressing needs. With the right expertise, we can help more startups survive the odds and thrive in their journeys. Mizanu AdisuOren SimanianHabtamu A.
