Startup Ideas That Don't Score Well

MDA does a lot of fund commissioning for different start up ideas. Some ideas are good while some are pretty bad. MDA does not easily give funds as well. Sometimes it rejects a business startup idea and simply sends across a polite note saying, "Sorry to inform you but..."

However, receiving such rejection letters does not mean that you should get disheartened about your business startup ideas even if they are small business startup ideas. In fact, if you are confident that you have great workable start up ideas, you should go on with them without funding.

Before you begin getting frustrated about your startup ideas not meeting the mark at financial institutions or with investors, take a look at the following points. They could tell you about the kind of entries that face rejection and why. You could learn from these points and make some amendments in your own startup ideas to get the funds.

Points To Ponder Over

1. A single show: When the startup idea is a one-man show, it is bound to get thrown in the waste bin. Financiers want you to form a team. A one- man show sounds as if you cannot get people to work for you, you cannot care for your business or expand it all by yourself so your profit, if any, will always be low.

Any good business requires a team, whether big or small and to make the business great, this team had better be strong. A good example of a problem with single startup ideas is a story of a great German inventor who approached a gentleman in the US for business development. They formed a startup together. Now the German inventor was a genius, but somehow he just could not get to trust his partner, the American investor. He would check on each and every decision or business strategy that the American investor suggested or implemented. Soon the American investor realized that though the German Inventor had great startup ideas, he just could not handle people. So he called it quits. And the startup ideas of the inventor failed to take off.

We learn one thing from this story- that you cannot handle all the jobs and departments that a business requires even at startup. It is better to form a team and delegate the responsibilities and then trust your team members to give it their best shot. Even a team of two members showing complementary characteristics can work well to get you the funds for your start up ideas.

2. Unique or an Imitation: There are some companies that formulate a low risk plan and simply imitate the business model of a successful company. Like, the Chinese search engine called Baidu imitated google. However, they only worked when they realized alongside that they needed to harness their domestic market as well. So they created a huge inventory of people who read and write the Chinese languages. This concept of imitation has been tried by Singaporeans as well, but they have not been successful as their markets are very limited.

There is another problem, that if you use an offshoot of another existing product, your technology and intellectual property will be challenged. Besides, it will get difficult to determine your market share as well. So you should know that if you want to be good at internet marketing, you had better have top class technology and the highest number of customers possible. For example, if YouTube were to run in Singapore, it will fail due to the country's rules and regulations. However, YouTube will always flourish as it has the backing of Silicon Valley and the web 2.0 market, even if it loses the support of everywhere else!

3. Poor efforts and risks: If you only put half hearted efforts to give life to your startup ideas, you will get nowhere. When you get an investor, you have to be ready to work for him, to show him that your startup ideas can work and get profits as well. The investor has put in money, so you have to be ready to perform. Even things as simple as blogs need a business plan and an effective strategy. Besides your efforts have to be consistent and not die along midway of your venture.

So a lesson that all people who have just entered the world of business need to learn is that either they get prepared to suffer and become entrepreneurs or they join a 9-5 job and become an employee. An entrepreneur needs to work at a business, 24/7. He needs to find customers everyday, advertise his products or services and enhance his business prospects. If all this sounds too demanding, you are better off as an employee in some company.

Not every one can be a successful entrepreneur. So even if you have some great startup ideas, check your own self first.
