The chances of a start-up failure are very high.

The likelihood of a start-up failure is very high, and the chances of a start-up team dying are very high. It's hard to tell if a company is going to work, but there are some signs that the entrepreneurial team is working.

Yesterday's topic mentioned the entrepreneurial team, today there are many readers to ask: How to determine which entrepreneurial team is reliable?

I vaguely remember writing this topic before, but search for a half-day, did not find how the past is written, then write a new one.

Speaking of entrepreneurial team, there is one thing you must know, the likelihood of a start-up failure is very high, the possibility of the entrepreneurial team dead. Previous investigation agencies reported that the average life of Chinese SMEs is about 2.5 years, since the data here, it means that there are a large number of entrepreneurial team to adhere to less than 2.5 years to close the business, entrepreneurial team should be regarded as small and medium-sized enterprises, is strictly small micro-enterprise.

The reason why I have to say this first is to remember that choosing a startup team means risk, and having a risk means you can have a bigger payoff. If you want to reverse the attack, you have to take greater risks. If you are afraid to take risks and do civil servants, go to a state-owned enterprise and work for a big company. However, the report shows that the average life span of the group is 7-8 years, as for civil servants, no one can guarantee that they will not be laid off after 10 years.

Since the average life expectancy of small and medium-sized enterprises is so, it is almost impossible to predict the company will die early in the choice, it is very difficult to judge whether a company is reliable, but we can find the entrepreneurial team is not very reliable some of the signs.

One of the unreliable signs: infighting. If an entrepreneurial team has a lot of news coverage on the web, the team is basically less able to change the infighting. Unless you're particularly fond of office politics, or confident that you can win in this fight, leave them alone.

Two signs: Burning money. There are many entrepreneurial teams in the initial lack of money can persist, but suddenly melt into the money but quickly die, the problem is mostly in the burning of money. The sign of burning money is that you can see the team's ads in the elevator, and you can see the ads for startups on the subway. How long can a start-up team burn money without a good enough income?

Three signs of uncertainty: living by conveying benefits. A company owner has a relationship with some project or project that can be pulled over from some interest units. The lifeblood of the company hangs on this relationship, such as SP era, around the telecom to do a little project or something, the condition is good, the company profits well, once the wind changed, immediately run difficult.

Four signs: The founder of the three views are not positive. Like not doing things honestly, all day to meet the road strange people god stick, mixed small and medium-sized circles of all kinds of circle company wall hung and all kinds of senior figures, or to read the MBA after reading also mechanically, open a will come out with a woman secretary, basic all three view is not positive.

No sign of the signs: work efficiency is too low. There is a little trick to look at the company's founder and the Micro-blog of the team members, Gesanchaiwu said, "The meeting opened to the night 12 o'clock, the harvest is very big" and so on, basically is nonsense, this kind of chicken blood can play how long? No matter always midnight meeting company are not reliable company, the so-called one will be incapable of exhaustion thousand army said is this, did not see which company to open the market.

Given that the topic of "overtime" is too sensitive, it is not discussed here.

This is my opinion, how to determine which entrepreneurial team is reliable I don't know, but you can stay away from the companies that are not reliable.
