- No customers, lack of traction (No active users)
- Large disconnect between leadership and employees: disgruntled workplace
- Ran like a corporation with multiple "Chief" level executives when there's no product market fit yet
- Everyone is sad due to poor leadership and the fact that all the work you do doesn't amount to anything (No one to use the product)
- Constantly pivoting and hoping something works; which means what you are currently working on may be for nothing
