In my experience, one primary factor contributing to the failure of startups is a lack of market research.
Many startups fail because they don't fully understand their target audience or haven't identified a genuine need for their product or service.

it often stems from a lack of market understanding and ineffective teams.
According to statistics, marketing is often at the root of startup failures.
Startup failure is often caused by a combination of factors, including poor product-market fit, poor execution, team problems, financial problems, and external factors.
