One of the most deleterious myths that ruins startup dreams is the notion that things happen quickly. Unfortunately, we at Beta Boom meet founders all the time expecting that they will build a product, get traction, and will secure seed funding in a year or less. When progress takes a lot longer, they are caught off-guard and throw in the towel on tons of hard work and sacrifice. With the average age of a startup getting seed funding being over three years, just understanding that the typical startup journey is long hopefully will help listeners better prepare for the road ahead and will help them make their dreams a reality.
