🚀 The Power of Execution in Startups 🚀 Success isn't just about ideas, timing, tech or team —it's about executing those ideas into reality. Fast. In my experience as a founder and investor, I've seen that execution is 10X more critical than super duper ideas, yet 100X harder. Think about it: Ideas don't handle market realities, competition, or financial constraints. Execution does. Ideas don't motivate teams or navigate tough decisions. Execution requires it all. This is one of the things I like with Sid Marketing, we specialize in helping tech CEOs turn marketing ideas into marketing ROI. It's not always about our secret sauce 🌶️ , rather about that we actually do person-targeted ads and not many companies do 👏 💪 #Execution #B2BMarketing #CEO

My day often begins with scrolling various #digital platforms to gather valuable insights, and I recently encountered a compelling statistic: 22% of startups fail simply because they neglect #marketing. For many founders, the belief is “build it, and they will come”—but in today’s competitive landscape, that mindset can be the silent killer of promising ventures. Even the most innovative products need the power of strategic marketing to reach their audience and gain traction. So, why do so many startups overlook marketing? Here are a few reasons: 1. #Founders often invest all their #resources in perfecting their product, assuming quality alone will drive demand. In a crowded market, even the best products require a strategy to be seen and understood. 2. Marketing is often seen as an “extra” expense, causing #startups to postpone it until revenue comes in. This delay can stunt early #growth and miss critical traction. 3. Marketing can feel elusive, especially to technical founders, making it easy to prioritize other urgent tasks. However, neglecting it can leave potential customers unaware and result in missed growth opportunities. 4. Marketing goes beyond selling; it builds a #brand, fosters relationships, and provides insights. #Earlystagemarketing can shape product development and enhance customer loyalty, creating a scalable feedback loop. Marketing doesn’t have to be costly to be impactful. By starting with content, social media, or strategic partnerships, startups can build a voice, connect with early adopters, and set the stage for sustainable growth. The sooner marketing is prioritized, the sooner a startup can turn from a great idea into a recognized brand. For example, Slack initially focused on perfecting its messaging app before implementing a comprehensive marketing strategy. Significant traction was achieved after launching targeted campaigns and refining brand messaging. How does your startup prioritize marketing?

In the final scene, the company's founder lands a massive $200 million investment from SoftBank, a major venture capital firm. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴?

This scene left a profound impact on me, highlighting the critical role of marketing alongside technology for a startup's success. The founder's strategic marketing efforts drove 1 lakh visitors to the website and secured 10.5 thousand subscribers, directly leading to the 200 crore funding from SoftBank.

5 things I've learned in 5 years working in a startup as a Director of Marketing: - Being able to make fast yet analyzed decisions is a must-have skill. - Experiments are your best friends. - Besides marketing skills, you also need to work on your product, tech, and sales skills. - Talking with experts who have already done it is the shortcut you need. - You can never do it alone (or only with your team); it's always a whole team effort. Any fellow startupers here? Do any of these resonate? #marketing #startupmarketing
