From cash crunch to conflicts with investors: The early signs of crumbling businesses

These days, a large amount of money is moving towards fast-growing startups. IPOs are happening, new unicorns are emerging, and valuations are rising rapidly. Such achievements should be celebrated because very few startups can accomplish them. But, if people think that a company is set for success by getting access to money, they are mistaken. It is often the case that many companies that look promising today might not last in the future.
