What Went Wrong? (CH 2) Why a Company that Solved a Problem With a Great Product Went Out of Business

Questions for Critical Thinking

  1. In the context of this chapter, make a list of three “takeaways” from this feature that you can learn from and try to avoid if you set out to solve a problem by launching a business.

  2. To what degree is there a difference between pursuing an opportunity to solve a problem and building a business? In what ways did Everpix fail to do both?

  3. According to the feature, Everpix spent almost nothing on advertising and promotions. How large of a role do you think that decision played in Everpix’s failure?

  4. Venture capitalists are often accused of swinging for the fences—in other words, they don’t invest in firms that are hitting singles, doubles, or triples. They want home runs. In hindsight, do you think Everpix was building a business that had the potential to hit singles, doubles, or triples, or a business that had the potential to be a home run? Explain your answer.
