Take a wild guess! What's the maximum maturity investors typically finance for start-ups?
Well… probably 3 to 4 years?
No, it's usually up to 24 months.
Just 24 months? Isn't it too short to produce results for a new business?
Maybe, but that's the culture here. Investors think businesses won't grow unless they attract clients within the first two years.
That's a tough business culture. What happens to entrepreneurs who fail in their businesses?
Failure is just part of the journey, and that's how you grow. If a start-up isn't performing well after two years of funding, they might sell the company, get a small cash return and move on to the next idea.
Huh, that's how the ecosystem works here.
