Growth for technology and startups
Where scaling before validating unit economics destroys more value than it creates.
How the cycle behaves
How the problem shows up
Pressure to grow arrives before evidence that the model holds. Scaling commercial investment on unvalidated unit economics destroys more value than it creates, and it does so fast.
Business impact
Growing without validated unit economics consumes cash faster than it generates revenue. The problem does not show up in the month: it shows up at the next round, when the burn has to be explained.
- Investment scales without knowing real acquisition cost by segment
- Sales and product chase different objectives
- The revenue forecast does not survive contact with actual closings
- Retention is measured late and corrected later still
