2025.01.21 14:10 orbitflash 🚀 How to Spot Red Flags in Startups Before You Invest

Startup investing can feel a bit like online dating. Everything looks great on the surface – a sleek pitch deck, fancy buzzwords like “disruptive” and “AI-driven”, and a confident founder who really believes they’re the next Steve Jobs. But just like dating, not everything is as perfect as it seems.
The truth is, most startups fail. Some because of bad luck, others because the market wasn’t ready – but a fair chunk crash and burn because of issues that were obvious from the start. 🚩 Learning to spot red flags early can save you from losing money on a doomed venture.
So how do you tell the difference between the next Amazon and the next “revolutionary blockchain spoon” that nobody asked for? Let’s dive in.
1. 🚩 Vague or Overcomplicated Business Model If you can’t explain it in a sentence, it’s probably not great.
Ever read a startup’s description and felt like you needed Google Translate – but for English? Yeah, that’s a problem. If the founder needs 10 minutes to explain what their startup does and you still don’t get it, there’s a good chance they’re overcomplicating things to mask weak fundamentals.
🔍 What to look for:

Can the startup clearly describe what problem they solve and how?
Is the product/service easy to understand without buzzword overload?

🚩 Red Flag Example: "We’re leveraging blockchain-enabled AI to decentralize the healthcare ecosystem while maximizing synergies within the Web3 space.”
Translation: We don’t know what we’re doing, but it sounds fancy.
2. 🚩 No Clear Market Fit Even the most innovative product can fail if no one actually wants it. A startup might have the coolest tech, but if the market for it is tiny (or worse, non-existent), it’s not going to make money.
🔍 What to look for:

Is there demand for the product or service?
Has the startup validated the idea by talking to potential customers?
Are there competitors in the space proving there’s a market?

🚩 Red Flag Example: A wearable device that tracks your cat’s mood through blockchain sensors. Cool? Maybe. Necessary? Probably not.
3. 🚩 Inexperienced or Dysfunctional Founding Team A great team can pivot a mediocre idea into a winner. A bad team can sink even the best product. Betting on the right people is just as important as betting on the idea.
🔍 What to look for:

Do the founders have relevant experience in the industry?
Have they started successful companies before?
Do they seem open to feedback and adaptable to market changes?

🚩 Red Flag Example: A solo founder with no advisors or team members – startup success requires collaboration and diverse skill sets.
4. 🚩 Unrealistic Financial Projections If a startup claims they’ll hit $50 million in revenue by year two, pump the brakes. 🚨 Startups often overestimate revenue and underestimate expenses. Look for financial projections that feel ambitious but still grounded in reality.
🔍 What to look for:

Are their projections based on solid data or just hopeful guesses?
Does their growth plan seem feasible given the market size?
Are they being transparent about costs, burn rate, and funding needs?

🚩 Red Flag Example: Projected growth of 1000% in the first year with no marketing plan.
5. 🚩 No Traction or Proof of Concept A startup doesn’t need millions in revenue to be promising, but they do need some sign of traction. Whether it’s users, partnerships, or product feedback – some evidence that the market cares is essential.
🔍 What to look for:

Do they have a working product or at least a prototype?
Are there early adopters or paying customers?
Is there positive feedback from beta users?

🚩 Red Flag Example: A startup in its third year with no customers or product to show.
6. 🚩 Cash Burn Without Results Startups often burn cash – it’s part of the game. But burning through money without making progress is a red flag. If a startup keeps raising funds but has nothing to show for it, they’re either spending recklessly or mismanaging resources.
🔍 What to look for:

How long is their runway (how long they can operate before running out of cash)?
What have they accomplished with previous rounds of funding?
Are they scaling responsibly or just hiring aggressively?

🚩 Red Flag Example: Hiring 20 engineers before having a product-market fit.
7. 🚩 Overhyped Industry Trends Ah, the hype train. 🚂 Every few years, a hot new trend emerges – blockchain, NFTs, metaverse – and everyone scrambles to jump on board. While some of these trends have potential, many fizzle out once the excitement dies down.
🔍 What to look for:

Is the startup building something useful beyond just following trends?
Does the startup’s success rely entirely on the hype continuing?
Are there real-world applications for the product?

🚩 Red Flag Example: A startup that says they’re “revolutionizing the sandwich industry through NFTs.” Just… no.
8. 🚩 Lack of Competitive Advantage If a startup is entering a crowded market, they need something that makes them stand out. Without a clear competitive edge, they risk getting crushed by bigger, more established players.
🔍 What to look for:

Does the startup have unique technology, patents, or IP?
Are they solving the problem in a novel way?
Is there a barrier to entry for competitors?

🚩 Red Flag Example: A rideshare app that’s exactly like Uber but with a different logo.
9. 🚩 No Clear Exit Strategy Investors make money when startups exit – meaning they either go public or get acquired. If a startup has no clear path to exit, it’s hard to see how you’ll get your returns.
🔍 What to look for:

Are they targeting acquisition by larger players?
Is IPO a future goal?
Have similar startups been acquired in the past?

🚩 Red Flag Example: A startup with no plan beyond “we’ll just keep growing forever.”
10. 🚩 Founders Who Aren’t Coachable Startups need to pivot and adapt constantly. Founders who think they know everything or reject feedback can tank even the best ideas. Look for founders who are confident but still humble and open to learning.
🚩 Red Flag Example: A founder who ignores market feedback and insists the product is perfect as-is.
Final Thoughts – Trust Your Gut Red flags don’t always mean “run away immediately.” Sometimes, they’re opportunities for further questions and deeper due diligence. But if you notice multiple red flags stacking up – it’s probably a sign to take your money elsewhere.

2025.01.21 14:10 AstronautGuy42 We need better itemization with less stat bloat

The meta and role balancing has been way too damage and burst focused since they changed to the 6th item. Balance wise, the game never fully recovered from that change. I think this stems from the itemization.
I see two main issues: 1. Damage is overall too accessible with no drawbacks. This is true for carry, mage and fighter items. Nearly every single item has physical or magical power on it, in addition to the utility/attack speed/extra damage/on hit/crit etc. There’s very little decision making, it’s just choosing your flavor of damage. Carry items are the biggest offenders by far. Nearly every carry naturally becomes a machine gun by end game with any combination of items. No matter what you pick, you’re going to shoot very fast, hit very hard, and likely do tons of crit or on hit effects. Stats need to be assigned more deliberately on items.

Tanking is still based around doing damage, not actually around tanking. You cannot build to become a wall that’s impossible to take down that does very little damage but gives utility. If you take steel and build all health armor items, it will take sparrow 8 shots instead of 7 to kill you if you built tank damage. My guess is this is a symptom of carries and mages being too strong with too many ignore armor and anti tank tools, with nearly zero drawbacks. You also have no way of counter building as a tank. Warden’s faith is your only option and the difference isn’t enough to matter.

Overall, this game would be much more fun for everyone with less damage across the board and less stat bloat on items. Every single role (even support) is based around doing damage. As is there’s no build variety, there’s no decision making, and games are less fun than they could be.

We're seeing a surge of indie games proudly proclaiming themselves "MMORPGs" even with player counts that barely fill a small town, that are far from "massive..". Is this genuine genre classification, or a clever marketing ploy to attract players and ultimately, generate more revenue ?

2025.01.21 14:10 estricnina500 Jueves de Cogito ergo sum: experiencias sensoriales, locura y manifestaciones psicológicas

En tiempos contemporaneos, conceptos y teorías psicológicas han pasado a ser socialmente aceptadas y, en parte, vox populi. La historia de la psicología, por otro lado, abunda en episodios de experimentación mental o psicofísica, que ocupan su espacio entre la cordura, la locura y las experiencias más all´´á de los sentidos.
Las manifestaciones psicológicas, entre las cuales se incluyen fenómenos de todo tipo (fantasmas, apariciones, viajes a otros planetas, poderes propios inimaginables, ilusiones o creencias, etc.), tienen lugar en los jueves de la Comunidad de Terror y Ciencia Ficción.
En relación al tema de cada día, los miembros van a poder:
a) Publicar ese día sus relatos o producciones vinculadas a la temática del día.
b) Iniciar un cadáver exquisito literario a través de un comentario a la publicación del día o creando una nueva publicación que haga de disparador del relato.
Por supuesto, también se podrán publicar en la comunidad relatos no vinculados a la temática del día.

2025.01.21 14:10 ayoobzz No interviews so far

So, I have applied to many universities, some of which being a reach and others being a realistic option, still I haven’t received a single interview invitation from any of them. The only thing I received was a rejection email from OSU, which made me even more concerned.
I applied for a PhD program in Computational Linguistics with the following requirements: -TOEFL 99 -No publications, only a thesis proposal and a team group from my current MA. -Fully funded scholarship from my home university. -3.9 GPA
Universities I applied to: OSU UW Seattle UT Austin Illinois at Urbana Indiana university at Bloomington Arizona State University
Should I be more or less concerned?

2025.01.21 14:10 DylanD-Survivor Self-Building and Destructing Roof on command

Hi everyone, I haven't played Minecraft in 10 years so some advice would be nice. I live in a cave and though setting up an elaborate way to open the roof to natural sunlight would be awesome. Has anyone seen this done before or have any ideas? I have 2 ideas, but maybe something has been added to the game in the last decade to make it easier.

Have secret tree farms built into the walls near the top of the cave, a button could bonemeal the trees instantly and then pistons could push the leaf blocks over the cave opening blocking sunlight. They would have to occasionally push logs onto the area so the leaves wont despawn. The advantage of this would be allowing fire to clear the opening.
Cobble stone generators built into the walls that can quickly cover the hole/roof with cobble stone. TNT could be used to explode the roof. How likely is it to get a clean detonation of the roof without TNT going everywhere? Unlikely?

Big idea, 0 knowledge. Cheers.

2025.01.21 14:10 Rundas-Slash Do you guys prefer the Atlas skill tree from poe 1 or 2?

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if I was the minority here. I have a lot of fun with Poe 2 but I think the atlas tree is one thing that really flopped for me. I have a lvl 91 character and play casually ~ regularly at T15 and 16 SSF, and with that all I have is the 30 points of the main atlas tree, 6 points from the boss and 2 points for breach.
For comparison with the same amount of play in PoE 1, I think I might have around 15 allocated notables across 4 mechanics, and able to switch very easily depending on what I want to play. Also, the big tree is somehow more interesting to me than the very small ones, I feel I don't have as much choice. What do you guys think?
