The average lifespan of a Chief Revenue Officer is less than two years. That’s less than the life of a hamster. The startups they preside over don’t fare much better: 90% of startups will fail within three years and only 2% of scaleups make it to Series D. Overall, three-quarters of venture investments bite the dust.
Fintech startups often underestimate the complexity of scaling revenue, sometimes fatally. Mistakes made during this critical stage frequently drain resources, halt momentum, and can even lead promising companies to fail entirely.
