Introduction – How to build a positive cash flow startup? 

Now, everybody talks about the big amount of cash to burn and grow at all costs, or how to build a product-market-fit (PMF). But they forget the most important thing, a long-lasting startup is a positive cash flow startup (like Mailchimp, Grammarly, …). The startups are funded by themselves for a long time before they raised funds or didn’t need to raise funds. How can they do that? The answer is in the BI Triangle

You can see the product-market fit (PMF) is on the top, below that have many other parts. So, if you want to build a startup with positive cash flow, you will have to do all the parts of the triangle which includes:

Mission: A great startup needs both a spiritual and a business mission. How to create the mission for your startup?

Team: A great startup needs to have excellent people to execute and run the startup following the mission. How and Where do find the team for the startup?
