# why startup companies fail?

It’s often said that more than half of new businesses fail during the first year. According to the Small Business Association (SBA), this isn’t necessarily true. The SBA states that only 30% of new businesses fail during the first two years of being open, 50% during the first five years and 66% during the first 10. Only 34% of the Company sustained after 10 Years.

A major reason why startup companies fail is that they run into the below problem

1) Lack of Process for Product
2) Poor Product Roadmap & Agenda
3) Bad timing for releasing new Product Features
4) Poor Application Architecture
5) Lack of Technical Knowledge
6) Not Much Brainstorming
7) Failing of Continuous Development (CD) & Continuous Integration (CI)
8) Poor Business & Financial planning
