Why This Matters
Many tech startups fail not because of poor ideas, but because founders start by guessing. They build too early, price incorrectly, and chase the wrong customers.
This leads to wasted time, burned cash, and products nobody is willing to pay for. In South Africa, these mistakes are even more costly due to limited capital, VAT, compliance, and market realities.
This guide exists to help you replace guesswork with evidence before you commit to building.
