The Art Of Risk: Balancing Vision With Viability

Vikram Joshi, Founder and CTO at pulsd—a company in the business of democratizing fun in New York City. Entrepreneurship is often romanticized as a daring leap into the unknown. However, I've found that the true art of succeeding as a startup founder lies not in reckless abandon but in the delicate balance between bold vision and calculated risk. In the high-stakes world of startups, embracing risk is important—but only when it's deliberate, informed and aligned with strategic objectives. Understanding Calculated Risk Calculated risk involves making decisions that have uncertain outcomes but are based on thoughtful analysis, preparation and a clear understanding of potential rewards and consequences. Unlike reckless risk-taking, which is impulsive and uninformed, calculated risk should be strategic and intentional. For instance, consider the journey of Richard Harpin, founder of HomeServe. Reflecting on his early ventures, Harpin acknowledges that while his entrepreneurial spirit was strong, his initial approach to risk was sometimes reckless. Over time, he adopted a more rigorous method of assessing risks, emphasizing proactive risk management as crucial for growth and innovation. I believe Harpin's experience underscores the importance of balancing boldness with caution in business decisions. The Importance Of Calculated Risk In Startups Uncertainty and rapid change are par for the course for startup environments. In such settings, calculated risk can be a cornerstone of innovation and growth. When you're willing to take educated risks, you can create more opportunities for your company to challenge conventional thinking, disrupt existing markets and introduce novel products or services that resonate with customers. Take AirBnB: As fast as they grew, they could have potentially grown even faster. The idea of letting strangers stay at your home was a bold move, and there was initial skepticism about peer-to-peer lodging. Instead of scaling up too quickly, they tested their idea in only a handful of markets and focused on quality over quantity. This way, they could iron out the initial kinks based on user feedback, build trust and validate their business model before launching in other markets. My own company is a bootstrapped startup, which means we have to be especially mindful of our budget. At the same time, we also need to experiment with new campaigns. To strike that balance, we launch ad campaigns with a small initial budget and assess the return on investment (ROI) before deciding whether to scale up or shut them down. This calculated approach helps us minimize risk, limiting potential losses to only the initial investment if a campaign happens to fall flat. Strategies For Balancing Vision And Viability Understanding market dynamics is a startup's first defense against potential failure. By tapping into a deep well of market intelligence, your startup can gain important insights into consumer behavior, emerging market trends and the competitive landscape. This information can lead to more effective decision making, helping you predict which innovations will flourish or flop. I believe a solid risk management plan is non-negotiable for startups that dare to disrupt. To ensure your plan will make a reliable safety net, meticulously craft it to anticipate possible setbacks and mitigate their impact. Begin with a thorough analysis of potential challenges, from market shifts to technology failures, then outline proactive measures to address them. Embracing agile development methodologies can enable startups to adapt quickly to changes, which in turn helps ensure that their innovations can pivot in response to feedback and market forces. Agile methodologies emphasize iterative development, where teams work in short cycles to continuously refine and improve their product or service. For example, our core business relies on users going out. However, when the Covid pandemic forced people to stay in, we quickly pivoted our restaurant offerings to focus on delivery and takeout. This adaptability played a key role in helping us bounce back more quickly. Startups often fall into the trap of an all-or-nothing approach, but I've found there is power in spreading your bets. By diversifying your efforts, you can protect your business from unexpected challenges. This means: • Exploring multiple customer segments • Testing various acquisition channels • Piloting more than one product feature If one initiative doesn't pan out, others can still gain traction. This layered approach to growth can help build resilience, providing your startup with multiple avenues to success rather than depending on a single breakthrough. Establishing a culture of risk tolerance can be transformative for startups. This culture begins at the top, with leadership. Founders need to play a pivotal role in modeling behaviors that embrace risk-taking. For example, I recommend openly discussing your own experiences with failure and success, encouraging your employees to share their ideas and celebrating both wins and losses as part of the learning process. Learning From Failure Even if a risk doesn't pan out, the ability to learn from those setbacks is important for long-term success. A culture that embraces risk-taking and resilience creates a foundation for overcoming obstacles and coming out stronger. In my experience, seeing failure as a chance to learn makes you better prepared to handle the unpredictable nature of the startup world. Final Thoughts The art of risk lies in balancing vision with viability. While the allure of bold, high-reward ventures can be strong, it's important that you approach risk with a strategic mindset. By conducting thorough research, developing solid risk management plans, embracing agile methodologies, diversifying risks and fostering a risk-tolerant culture, your startup can navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship and transform uncertainties into opportunities for growth and innovation. In the end, calculated risk isn't just about daring to dream—it's about doing so wisely. Forbes Business Council is the foremost growth and networking organization for business owners and leaders.

From start-up to scale-up: Strategies for growth

Starting a business is one of the most rewarding and high-stakes journeys an entrepreneur can undertake. It's a well-known statistic that 90% of startups fail, with many never making it past their first year. But why? According to CB Insights, the leading causes of failure include running out of cash, an inability to raise new capital, a lack of market demand, and getting out-competed. Launching a business is no small feat, but the hurdles don't end once it's off the ground. A whole new set of challenges emerges as companies transition into their next phase of growth. Brian Halligan, Hubspot co-founder, has a philosophy he uses to describe businesses that are maturing beyond the start-up stage and stepping into a new chapter of expansion: he calls these companies scale-ups. While a startup is typically focused on finding product-market fit and building a foundation, a scale-up company has achieved that initial validation and is now focused on growth—expanding its customer base, operations, and revenues. This scale-up phase is a crucial inflection point in a company's journey. The ability to scale effectively often separates the small percentage of businesses that make a lasting impact from the majority that stall out. Transitioning into a scale-up phase means shifting from scrappy survival to strategic growth, and that requires a different mindset, different systems, and a different approach to leadership. DRIVING SUSTAINABLE, LONG-TERM GROWTH WITH SCALABLE PROCESSES Sustainable growth starts with clarity: clear priorities, a defined mission, and an unwavering focus on what truly moves the needle. Scaling businesses are often bombarded with opportunities that seem promising but can easily become distractions. Instead of saying yes all the time, successful leaders understand the power of strategic prioritization (hint: saying 'no' is just as important as saying 'yes'). For example, doubling down on key customer segments or continuously refining your core product delivers far more value than stretching resources too thin across multiple pursuits. Sustainable growth isn't just about scaling fast; it's about scaling smart—making every decision with the long-term resilience of the business in mind. As your company grows, so does operational complexity. What worked for a five-person team won't scale to fifty, let alone 500. To avoid bottlenecks and inefficiencies, growth must be supported by strong, scalable processes. My leadership team and I are prioritizing two critical areas this year: documentation and automation. We're ensuring repeatable workflows are well-documented so that new team members have a clear roadmap to follow. At the same time, we're investing in automation tools to handle repetitive tasks, freeing our team to focus on higher-priority, more complex initiatives. These changes weren't just about efficiency. It was about preparing the company to scale without losing speed. Scaling shouldn't feel like a house of cards ready to topple. With strong operational foundations, you can build a business that adapts and grows sustainably. MAINTAINING COMPANY CULTURE AND CORE VALUES Scaling doesn't just test your business model—it tests your company culture. Rapid hiring, if not managed carefully, can dilute the values that made your startup a great place to work in the first place. Culture isn't just a set of core values on your website, it's how decisions are made, how teams collaborate, and how work gets done every day. To protect our culture, we take deliberate steps during periods of fast growth. Every hiring decision we make is guided not only by skills and experience but also by alignment with our core values. We invest in leadership training, host annual events to bring the entire company together, and run regular engagement surveys to ensure we're fostering a strong, connected workforce, despite having employees across the world. Scaling should never feel like a choice between growth and culture. There is no universal right or wrong way to maintain a great company culture, but intentionality is key. A strong team aligned with your mission is critical to long-term success. STAYING AGILE IN A DYNAMIC MARKET Perhaps the most underestimated strength a company can have is agility. Market conditions shift, customer needs evolve, and competition intensifies as you grow. Companies that succeed in scaling are those that remain agile, constantly refining their product offerings and optimizing for product-market fit. According to Halligan, agility doesn't mean changing direction at the first sign of turbulence, but having the discipline to adapt intelligently when necessary. I often remind our leadership team that adaptability and discipline must go hand in hand. During economic shifts, reassessing product strategy and focusing on core offerings that customers rely on most can be the difference between thriving and merely surviving. After all, product-market fit should already be established in the startup phase—scaling should now focus on optimizing for product-market scale (i.e., ensuring ease of use with more efficient implementation). At the same time, encouraging experimentation and allowing teams to test new ideas quickly is crucial for revenue growth and scaling product-market fit. The challenge lies in striking the right balance between doubling down and pivoting. There's no perfect formula—mistakes will be made. But staying curious, learning from peers and mentors, and drawing insights from those who have scaled before you can help make educated, informed decisions and keep your company agile in an unpredictable economic environment. LOOKING AHEAD The transition from start-up to scale-up isn't easy, but that makes it so rewarding. By relentlessly focusing on these core tenets, many of which Halligan references as part of his scale-up strategy— scalable processes, maintaining a strong team culture, and adaptability in a changing market—you're not just growing a company, you're building a foundation for long-term success.
