Launching Too Early
Before launch, consider these: Is there a market for this service or product? Can you sell it? You launched too early if you responded no to those questions. Launching too early leads to low user retention, frequent failures, and bad user experience. It’s not worth launching your product or service late, but you may balance your schedule by producing a service with minimalistic features and confining it to a specialized or geographical region, which demands less financial and labor demand. It needs fewer features, so you can design a decent solution quickly.

Ignoring “Hidden” Factors
Hidden variables impact product development and maintenance costs and are not visible. Maintenance cost is difficult to estimate since it depends on the development team, tech stack, and other variables. Marketing, upgrades, and other charges are in addition to upkeep. Ignoring hidden expenses leads to more financial stress, out-of-control expenditure, disgruntled investors, bad marketing strategy, and unplanned downtimes. Avoid this error by hiring a CTO as a service who knows your process and hidden expenses.

Not Being User-Oriented
Being user-centric means placing the product user at the center of development. The business puts product users’ wants and experiences ahead of investors’. Startups often make this error. Early-stage firms often develop solutions oriented to raise financing. Dissatisfied users, low retention, and low use result from this lack of user-centricity. Pre-launch product surveys and timely user input integration at all post-development phases may avoid this.

Ignoring Outside Assistance
External support is outside your in-house staff. The government, professional consultants, and mentors may provide this assistance. Burnout, readily preventable blunders, unscalable company strategy, and poor growth result from neglecting external support. Startup entrepreneurs benefit from mentors’ practical counsel to accomplish their short- and long-term goals.
