The Quest

The Quest

74% of product companies fail due to premature scaling

Are you spending too much on customer acquisition before product/ market fit? Are you building lots of “nice to have” features? Companies can prematurely scale their team, their customer acquisition strategies or overbuild the product. Oppositely, companies that have consistent development grow about 20 times faster.

Founders are bombarded with contradictory, generic advice

Despite the emergence of popular theories about how product building works, most founders don’t know what they should be focusing on. Also, they are regularly bombarded with advice that seems contradictory because the person giving it speaks from their personal experience.

Building sales and marketing operations is not easy

Rarely tech founders have previous experience in building successful product sales or product marketing strategy and operations. Also, scaling is often hindered by companies’ inability to find and attract top sales or marketing experts. The task gets even more complicated when the company needs to expand into foreign markets.

“Premature scaling: growing in anticipation of demand instead of demand driven growth.”
Jim Pitkow serial entrepreneur
“Only when a company objectively demonstrates that product-market fit is achieved and a pattern of revenue generation is clearly identified, it makes sense to scale the business model and grow.”
Amir Banifatemi entrepreneur, product strategist and investor
Having been both an entrepreneur and investor I've seen many entrepreneurs try to scale blindly. No one takes venture money to stay a small business and scaling successfully is what separates eventual industry leaders from long-forgotten startups in the deadpool. Far too often though entrepreneurs start scaling before they know what is going to work.”
