The startup lie that kills your margins, your momentum, and your shot at scale.

Thought this week would be chill. It was not.

Between fire drills and facepalms, these 7 stories hit hard: bad pricing, worse VC deals, and the kind of startup headaches you don’t see coming. Read them now. Regret less later.

If there’s a throughline this week, it’s this: the things that sink startups aren’t always obvious. It’s not just bad ideas—it’s great ideas built on shaky margins, unrealistic pricing, and wishful thinking about VCs or fulfillment partners.

The good news? Spot the traps early, and you get to build smarter, leaner, and more on your terms.

We’ll be back next week with more lessons from the trenches. Until then, keep your burn low, your margin high, and your BS radar on full blast.
