Every startup faces a slow and challenging period between its initial launch and becoming self-sufficient through revenue generation. Often seen as an unavoidable part of the startup process, it is possible to get through this tough period quickly and successfully.

During this period, startups often face financial difficulties and may struggle to develop products or services. They might need help to obtain investment capital or other necessary resources needed to stay afloat. While this period has high risks, working through it is a significant step towards success.
The financial challenges come from the many expenses made during the research and development of products and services, with revenue typically only coming in after they launch.
Additionally, the amount of time a company spends in this phase varies widely based on factors such as their industry, product/service, and strategic approaches. A recent study found that most companies spend an average of 18-24 months in this stage, although some have managed to get out in as little as 12 months.

Risks are inherent to navigating this period effectively, and it needs a clear vision, strong execution, and a willingness to take risks.

One of the most effective ways is to focus on your company’s core capabilities and capitalize on them. This could mean adjusting your product or service to better meet customer needs or finding ways to differentiate your business from the competition.

Testing different ideas and strategies is important in overcoming this period. This can help you uncover customer needs and preferences, as well as identify which strategies are most successful for your business.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for generating revenue. Experimenting with different revenue models, such as subscription services, pay-per-use, or advertising, can help you determine which model is best suited to your business and your customer base.

Strategic partnerships can be a powerful tool during this time. Identifying partners who can provide value to your business and customers, such as investors, vendors, or other companies, can be a great way to gain traction and generate revenue.

Understanding your customers is essential to cross this obstacle. Investing time and resources into connecting with your customers can help you gain better insights into their needs and preferences, which can help you tailor your product or service to meet their needs.
The beginning is always a difficult period for new businesses and entrepreneurs, but you cannot enjoy the relaxed days without making the initial hustle. Focusing on your capabilities, testing, and learning, experimenting with different revenue models, building strategic partnerships, and connecting with your customers are all key strategies for crossing this stage with ease.
With many startups spending 18-24 months trying to get through this phase, don’t be frustrated if you spend 6 months in it. Stay positive, stay hopeful, and keep pouring in the efforts.
