The Role of Software Systems in Start-ups: Reflections from My Journey with Qooee
Over the past decade, I have had the opportunity to work with numerous companies and start-up projects. To be candid, the majority of them ended in failure, with only a handful still operating today. These experiences have shaped my reflections: why do some promising ideas never take off, while others -sometimes simpler in concept - manage to survive and even grow? Throughout this journey, one recurring theme has drawn my attention: the role of software systems. Often overestimated, sometimes misunderstood, their actual impact on a start-up’s fate is far more nuanced than commonly assumed.
