A startup is an organization designed to rapidly develop and test new ideas and products. It typically involves a team addressing a problem through the creation of a product or service, with the goal of exponential growth. However, startups face huge challenges and high chances of failure before finding product-market fit. The founders often have a problem from their own lives they want to solve. They then build a solution step-by-step while relying heavily on their team. Incubators and accelerators can provide mentoring, networking and funding resources to support startup teams.
