Innovators and startups beware.!! History is littered with inventions that came to market decades too early. Investors watch out.!! In this example it’s showing features and options within a car 70 years ago. Stick shift, clutch pedal, shift the gear stick up or down. Manual transmission. Replaced by a single button change. Exceeding the speed limit warning light. Majority of cars today still don’t have this option. There are three major reasons why inventions fail. (1) the invention has little or no inherent value (2) the inventor or company lacks the ability to get the invention to market. (3) intellectual property protection for the invention is narrow and others can simply circumvent it. #startup #business #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #marketing #smallbusiness #success #motivation #businessowner #digitalmarketing #money #entrepreneurlife #branding #inspiration #startups #startuplife #startupbusiness #innovation #technology #hustle #design #love #mindset #instagood #lifestyle #entrepreneurs #goals #tech
