The Peak Singapore’s Post

What makes the difference between businesses that grow or crash and burn? There are three big factors that all the research identifies ...but the order in which you attack these priorities matters. And, too often one of the three gets left out altogether. The video reviews these three elements and provides a way for you to start building toward growth with some help from people who get you. #startup #faithdrivenentrepreneur #businessgrowth

The product you get investment for is rarely the same - or often - even similar when you exit. Founders generally think the question is: "Is this a great idea?" The best investors think: "Does the space this idea plays in have room for substantial growth and innovation and is this a good starting point?" #startups #founders #entrepreneurship

Navigating the Valley of Death: A Start-Up's Crucial Test Every startup faces a defining challenge: the "Valley of Death." This is the phase where ventures burn through their initial capital, striving to generate revenue before funds run out. The journey through this valley is tough, with a stark dip in cash flow, demanding tight expense control and often, a hunt for new financing without a proven track record. But navigating this valley isn't just a survival game; it's a testament to a startup's resilience, signaling potential for long-term success. #Entrepreneurship #StartupChallenges #BusinessStrategy #Innovation #Leadership

In only a few weeks, these #startup ventures made incredible progress!🚀 We celebrate not only the outcomes but the journey. Our teams, diverse in thought and experience, have brought our startup ideas to life, tested them rigorously, and yes, even seen some ventures begin to generate revenue! We've learned that the path of innovation is not without its challenges. We faced setbacks and tasted failure, but each hurdle was a stepping stone to greater learning and pivoting with purpose. Through collaboration and resilience, every test and pivot made our ventures stronger and more viable.

What's More Important? ↳ Startup for Exit ↳ Startup for Economy Is Securing Funding The Real Challenge? The fundamental question is not Bootstrap vs. Funding, but Sustainability vs. Vanity. In the drive for the 'Founder' tag or gaining VC interest, do we frequently forget that developing a real business, whether bootstrapped or funded, requires deep roots? Perhaps it's time to shift our focus from what resources we seek to how we nurture what we create—right where we are, without glorifying exits or networks. After all, isn't the actual definition of success developing a business that outgrows the 'start-up' label and becomes a part of the economy? #startup #mindset #founders #entrepreneurs

Company registrations dipped by 11% year-on-year in July, following a 12% rise in June, while LLP registrations surged by 21%, reflecting strong growth in this segment. Despite the overall decline, the steady rise in LLPs suggests a shift towards more flexible business structures, potentially fueling a new wave of startups focused on agility and innovation. This trend may indicate a transformation in the entrepreneurial landscape, with more founders opting for LLPs to drive their ventures forward. #StartupGrowth #Entrepreneurship #LLP #BusinessTrends #Innovation #NewBeginnings #AgilityInBusiness #BusinessTransformation #StartupWave #CorporateAffairs

People often mention that over 90% of startups fail. Im no expert but, one reasons could be founders investing all their funds into a single idea, especially in product-based businesses, which can be risky due to the need for massive capital. A more prudent approach might be to begin with a low-capital online business. This strategy offers the opportunity to hone sales and marketing skills, increasing the likelihood of joining the successful 10%. Additionally, it provides a secondary income stream, reducing overall risk and also adding to their initial capital. #Startups #Entrepreneurship #BusinessStrategy
