Recently, the CEO and founder Bykea, Muneeb Maayr, addressed a crowd at an event called Duck Stories. Founders of different companies come here, and share and celebrate mistakes, along with the times when things didn’t go quite according to plan. The founder of Bykea also shared some great advice for young entrepreneurs on startup success.
“Customer segmentation is the key to startup success,” shared Maayr. “Young founders may struggle to differentiate between their brand’s various demographics, but with the right customer segmentation, they can target the right consumers with the best strategy,” he added.
Muneeb further spoke about one of the key reasons behind startups failing is their absence of focus on core strengths and the yearning to do it all at once. He advised that although going big is and should be everyone’s ultimate goal but new entrepreneurs should not deter from their focus. They can always scale up once they have marked their presence in the market and their foundations are strong.
