Launching a business is risky — and most new ventures fail because they run out of capital.
Before you commit time, money, or effort, you need a clear financial map. But how do you know if your idea can work?
That’s where StartSmart comes in: an interactive simulator that validates your vision with data before you invest.
50% of new businesses fail in the first 5 years— most collapse from poor financial planning.
