The truth is starting a business from scratch can be tough especially when you have competitors who are already built. Established companies have so many advantages - they already have customers, suppliers, processes figured out and brand recognition in the market. A startup struggles with all of these factors right from day one. Unless the founders have really disruptive idea or fill a need no one else is meeting, it is an uphill task to grow the business against incumbents. Even marketing the new venture can be challenging due to relatively low budgets compared to bigger players.
With perseverance and staying focused on the vision, some startups do find success.
