Business Ideas Likely to Fail

failed business ideas

There are certain kinds of business ideas which I feel are more likely to fail than others. These are generally not able to create substantial value which can help them sustain in the long run.

The ‘Amazon for a Niche’ idea: A lot of new entrepreneurs tend to look at ideas like this. I had a friend who was able to create a successful ecommerce store for dog food in India. Once Amazon entered this space, it’s sales was at par with this startup’s within a period of 4 months. Similar examples can be seen in other online spaces as well.

The ‘Craiglist for a City’ idea: Similar to the above, some entrepreneurs feel they can create a ‘Me-too Startup’ in their city. Unless their scaling is commendable, surviving once a big player enters is difficult.

At the end of the day, I feel the true valuation and survival chance of a startup is totally dependent on the value it is able to add to the ecosystem as a whole.
