Our project is probably interesting but investors are not willing to support it because in the same activity they might find more interesting to invest in other areas.

Due to not understanding in their full extension future market competition. Some variables as pricing of the product were overestimated.

We could not achieve PMF.
Lost focus due to too many features.

# data[].attributes.body
1. We failed, because the model we used did not incentivize teachers to sign up for a long time, they signed up for one month and downloaded all the files --> no further income
2. We tried to enroll it too quick in too many cities and failed to give the correct support
3. We overestimated the willingness of teachers and schools to work with material they have not prepared themselves
4. technological problems during execution of platform
5. We were unable to advertise the program specifically enough

lack of need with other more efficient, free solutions available,

technical challenging, not superior to other options,

Failed to spread the solutions,

- Market size overestimated: not enough customers with willingness to pay our price and/or not enough washers willing to work for minimum wage.
- competition underestimated: other companies swoop in and capture the market
- costs underestimated, leading to lower profit margin or even loss
- marketing plan misjudged, leading to too much spending on ineffective measures (CAC too high)

The wrong financiall model. The lack of payment for the use of the application by consumers entailed high costs and did not pay off the development.

# data[].attributes.body
Our project failed because there was not enough demand for our service. Additionally, big players have managed to grab the market share we have been focusing on. We lacked enough resources and capabilities and have underestimated the time and effort required for this project.

- The market was not there. The students don´t need any gamified simulation
- our competitor was able to reach fast and leverage their competencies  they went out to the market a bit later, but with a much more mature product
- The quality of our minimum valuable product was not good enough and we lost credibility on the market
- Our business plan was not robust enough and the investment were much higher then expected

# data[].attributes.body
- Not enough users to build up the network effect
- Users don't know about the product
- Businesses aren't buying ads
- Expansion of competitors

- we could never create the right incentives for good doctors and experts to want to use our platform
- We could not figure out the right pricing model to generate profitability
- marketing was challenging for this product
- We focused on too many product features which created confusion about our brand

# data[].attributes.body
-Direct and indirect competition- We did not do good research on MVP and had assumption that our product was unique.

-We did not have a clear vision from the beginning on how we would want to scale our service.

1. Limited customer reach – We were not able to reach many customers through our marketing strategy lacking the product pull and hence the brand building approach took too much time causing our CAC to be very high resulting in failure of our start-up.

2. Competition – Big beverage industry player rolled out similar drinks and used their existing supplier/market relations to push us out of market.

Lack of Popularity:
There are simply not enough users using the app for it to gain traction and allow for monetization and profit. It ceases to grow past a certain point and ultimately dies.

Monetization Doesn't Materialize:
The price point for certain services available through the app are misaligned with what people are willing to spend. Again, it ceases to grow past a certain point and ultimately dies.

1. Underestimated market size and/or demand

2. Unable to achieve sufficient scale to operate as a going concern

3. Inferioir product(s) produced /outdone by competitor reactions

4. Mis-estimation of cost burden and bank comes calling
