Why Business Models Fail
Blog: Business Model Alchimist
There are a lot of reasons why business models fail. Understanding them can help us better manage risks. In this post I sketch out the four main types of failure.
I’ve been thinking about failure a lot recently. As an early-stage software entrepreneur failure is starring at me big and ugly every morning. Yet, rather than just denying the possibility I prefer understanding and managing the risk of failure. And when I say “failure” I mean the big and hairy type that can put you out of business.

- Solving an Irrelevant Customer Job
- Flawed Business Model
- External Threats
- Poor Excution
