The #1 cause of startup death is making something no one wants. The #2 cause is spending too much. Those two account for so many deaths that I'm not even sure what #3 is. If you merely make something people want and don't spend too much, you're way ahead.

Great answer

How do you define too many people? Because if it was obvious that it was too many, the hiring person or CEO would have noticed it. Is there a reason people over hire?
