1/8: why startups fails (TC) Genomy report , Elad Gil
a startup should be able to scale. And to scale properly, it must balance the growth of five core dimensions:
1/ customers,
2/ product,
3/team,
4/ business model, and
5/ funding.
The dominant reason for failure: premature scaling of one or more of those dimensions.
1/7: Achieving Product/Market Fit
the life of any startup can be divided into two parts – BEFORE product/market fit and AFTER product/market fit.
Fred’s Five Rules for Product/Market Fit
asr: it seems main reason for failure is 'scaling Team' early ( hence burning money in 1 to 1.5 years then unable to get new funding seems main reason for many startup failures .
- Mark Suster first startup confirmed this in a post
Before product-market fit, find passion-market fit : The lesson of history is that product-market fit is very precise—one wrong tweak or slightly bad timing and you can miss the whole thing.

AirBnB stories:
0) FREd: But we don't always get it right. We missed Airbnb even though we loved the team. Big mistake. The cereal box will remain in our conference room as a warning not to make that mistake again.
1) See Paul and Fred emails for 1 month and how Fred Missed AirBnB
a) LAID story
and spent 3 months putting together a European Version. (Complete clone of the idea but not the mechanics/design etc).
Found a great domain name (iStay.com) and launched.
Heart was never in the project. Went after it because I saw the potential not because I had love for the idea or any desire to run the business. But I learnt a lot from the whole experience, specifically qualifying opportunities vis-a-vis core values, skill-sets and passion before jumping into them.
b) Story of Nick Grossmans
* I think I now know what it feels like to have an idea that I'm really fully behind. Next time that happens, I'm going to approach it much more aggressively.
* If you feel that way, but everyone is not all the way on board, it's not going to work. So recognize that early on and fix it, one way or another.
c)
asr: same with our HOME work help , a) I experienced problems first hand with Gitu /Eshu with Math
b) I am thinking about it for years ,, nobody can steal that experience
c) see LAID copied the site , but no passion for with his copy of iStay.com so he sold domain .. ( proof he had screen shot .. )
d) other guys Nick Grossman has some passion, but only PART time.

- Nginx's load balancing features are less advanced than haproxy's but it can do a lot more things (eg: compression, caching), which explains why they are very commonly found together. I strongly recommend it to whoever needs a fast, reliable and flexible web server !
