Founder Startup Revival stories
The #1 reason new startups fail is:
NO MARKET NEED.
Nearly 70% of new businesses fail, primarily for this reason.
Entrepreneurs launch their businesses with their exciting million-dollar idea. They spend months building their solution, investing time, money, and effort into its perfection, only to unveil their new “baby business” into the world. To the sound of crickets.
When you build a company like this, it doesn’t take long to figure out:
Um, no one wants to pay me for this.
These well-meaning entrepreneurs fail simply because they built their company on an idea with no market need.
The good news is:
30% of new businesses DO succeed and go on to build thriving companies. And that’s because they build differently.
What’s the secret that successful entrepreneurs do well...
THAT OTHER FOUNDERS DON’T?
Successful founders build businesses in a more incremental, risk-reducing way.
They first identify opportunities and prove viability, so they can generate cash flow quickly before investing in a full-blown company.
So, the secret to startup success is in the business-building PROCESS.
Instead of spending months or years building a new business in secrecy and isolation…
Build incrementally. Test at each stage. And if needed, pivot.
As a result, you get proof of your business’s potential BEFORE investing significant amounts of time, money, and energy into its development.
This process works!
Ultra-successful companies like Uber, Twitter, and Airbnb have used the exact same process to become the commercial giants they are now.
It sounds amazing, right?!
“Yes! But, um, how do I actually DO all of that?”
Let us show you.
Introducing…
100 Steps 2 Startup

“The 100 Steps program explains concepts that I've had to discover by reading dozens of books. The videos and worksheets in this program helped me and my team shape our ideas into actions. It's really the best way to get a business started!”
Arsalan Noorafkan
Co-Founder & CEO, Atlys Networks Inc.
The business-building program that takes you from idea to revenue — with as little risk as possible
Divided into 7 Phases, the program includes:
bite-sized video lessons
that explain each step, including the what and the why (3-5 min. ea.)
worksheets
to help you take action on your unique business idea
guided “take action” videos
that show you how to move forward with confidence
Launching a new business can feel completely overwhelming, not to mention risky.
Reading startup books, articles & blog posts has been kind of helpful. Sure, you know a lot, but you’re not entirely clear HOW to turn that “theory” into action.
It’s easy to get distracted by the “sexy” activities like designing a logo, setting up social media accounts, or building a website.
You feel like you’re doing ALL. THE. THINGS.
So, why aren’t you getting closer to creating your dream business?
Meet 100 Steps 2 Startup.
This online program, based on Lean Startup principles, leads you through a proven and predictable process for creating a business that will make money.
By following the 7 Phases of this action-oriented, step-by-step system you get PROOF of your business’s viability.
In other words, by following this process you’ll know you’re building a business with market potential and a solution that customers will pay for.
With confirmation of market potential comes the confidence you need to invest in developing the business, apply to an accelerator program, or raise capital.
100 Steps 2 Startup was developed by Dr. Sean Wise and refined over 20+ years of work, research, and experience in working with high-growth startups.
Does it work? Yes, it does!
That’s why it’s used by entrepreneurship professors across the U.S., Canada and Australia. And why it has helped thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs get started on their own paths to success.
“The 100 Steps program was very beneficial to our team. As a group of scientists with an already existing prototype, we found value from a business development perspective. A great resource.”

This founder built her startup, applied to an accelerator & was accepted!
“This program has excellent action-oriented lessons, and embedded self-efficacy.
I was able to focus on the process and not get discouraged from being so far away from the “end goal.”
With my first startup idea, I mistakenly jumped into the “sexy” things like designing a logo, social media, and building a website. Surprise! In 100 Steps 2 Startup, you don’t do any of that until phase 4!
This process helped me build my current startup on a solid foundation.
I did customer validation interviews, problem validation, UVP, etc. The worksheets are powerful tools!
Before 100 Steps 2 Startup, I read business books and watched hours of YouTube videos. The overwhelming amount of info caused analysis paralysis. And I never took any action.
The program's action-oriented worksheets gave me a clear understanding of the next step so I could easily take action.
I used to doubt myself and my abilities, but now I follow the steps with confidence.
I was confident enough in my startup to apply to an incubator program and I am happy to report that I was accepted!”

“Do you guarantee my success?”
… and answers to other smart questions.
Not at all. In the Phase 1 of 100 Steps 2 Startup, you find business ideas worth solving. You can come with an existing idea or without one. It doesn’t matter. This program guides you step by step through ideation and then opportunity evaluation. So, you can be confident you’re building a business on an idea with market potential.
Yes. In Phase 1, you first validate that your idea is worth pursuing. In other words, are people likely to pay for it? And, if your initial idea turns out to be not-so-viable, you have everything you need to generate more ideas with potential. So, you can be confident you’re building a business on an idea with a good chance of success.
It depends. Everyone’s journey will look different. Your time-to-completion is influenced by factors like:
- how much time you dedicate to working on your startup,
- whether or not you’re working alone or with a team,
- the outcome of your experiments, and
- how many pivots you end up making along the way.
Don’t worry. The goal isn’t to hurry up and finish.
Simply follow the process step by step and at the pace that best fits you. 100 Steps 2 Startup is always standing by and ready to help you take the next step, and the next, and the next.
Nope. You can work at your current job and follow 100 Steps 2 Startup in your free time. This online program is designed to work on your schedule.
The best part is:
The process helps you find proof of your business’s viability BEFORE deciding to leave your job. If you want to build a successful business with as little risk as possible, 100 Steps 2 Startup is the way.
This process is best suited for creating a product, service, or SAAS-type businesses. Yes, the process taught inside can be used with any industry.
Nope. For your early experiments, modern tools let you set up a digital shop, website, landing pages, or marketing campaigns easily without writing a single line of code.
If you end up building software, a custom web application, or mobile app, you may eventually need to hire a coder or learn some skills yourself.
That said, by this point, 100 Steps 2 Startup will have already helped you test your solution (manually), identify your first customers, and potentially generate early revenue (by selling the results of the manual solution).
So, by the time you’re ready to invest in coding, you will have the proof and confidence that this is a business worth building.
We suggest you budget about $500 for testing and validation. You will use this money for things like buying domain names, testing Google Adwords campaigns, and purchasing the software you need for experiments.
Extra funding may be required at a later stage. That said, such funding can be raised through early revenue generation.
Then, when it’s time to scale (Phase 7), you learn how to seek out other funding sources (like angel investments or venture capital) and use the proof of your business’s market viability to get it.
Yes! This process works if you follow it. Complete the steps and do the exercises as instructed. And you will end up with a revenue-generating business.
In fact, we guarantee that outcome, so you can get started building your startup risk-free. It’s simple:
Generate early revenue (by following 100 Steps 2 Startup) or get your money back.
Simply email us at guarantee@100Steps2Startup.com.
Please include your name, last 4 digits of your credit card, and the date of your purchase. Our staff will reach out within 5 days.
Please keep in mind that proof of completion of all 100 steps and exercises is required to qualify for the guarantee. For more details, visit 100Steps2Startup.com/terms-and-conditions.
