8 Grave Mistakes That Startups Make

Even though startups are responsible for pumping billions of dollars into global economies, research shows that 90% of startups fail. Understanding why most startups fail is a valuable benchmark to help avoid some of the most common mistakes.

In our upcoming webinar, Andriy Okhrimets, CTO at Svitla Systems, will share his rich experience based on working with 40+ startups which earned him a front-row seat to the successes and failures that make or break a startup. He will cover several product stories, some impressive and successful, others funny and unexpected, and some critically miscalculated, all in the spirit of helping you see a bigger picture and make your decisions cautiously.

At the end of the webinar, we welcome you to participate in an open discussion where you are welcome to ask questions, share your pains, and talk more broadly about better solutions to existing problems.
