Here’s a breakdown highlighting the biggest startups to fail in the past year from Codie A. Sanchez:

The allure of entrepreneurship often lies in the promise of creating something new, challenging the status quo, and making a meaningful impact on the world. Startups embody this spirit of innovation and ambition, fueled by visionary founders and cutting-edge ideas. However, while innovation is undoubtedly crucial for success, it must be accompanied by a strategic focus on profitability to ensure long-term sustainability and growth. In a rapidly evolving global economy, startups must recognize the critical importance of profitability as a cornerstone of their business strategy. By embracing a profit-centric approach, they can unlock sustainable growth, mitigate risks, and position themselves for long-term success amidst uncertainty and disruption. Through prudent financial management, strategic decision-making, and a relentless focus on delivering value to customers, startups can not only survive but thrive in an increasingly competitive landscape.

This hits the nail on the head. I've probably spoken to well over 100 people in the last 2 years who have been laid off from startups. The other big issue that comes with startups is that they tend to overpay for talent and throw off the market. Then way layoffs occur, people with 3-5 years who were getting paid like those with 8-10 years experience think they will command the same salary elsewhere. #startupfunding #salarytrends
