If running a startup is like playing a video game, then “game over” happens when the company runs out of cash. Founders often focus on battling the big, visible monsters like the competition beast, the market-size dragon, or the marketing ghoul.But too often, they miss the silent killer: financial mismanagement. According to recent studies, 16% of startups fail due to cash flow problems and other financial management issues.So, how can a founder bring order to the chaos of spending and scaling? One way, I argue, is by leveraging the financial services that fintech platforms offer.Where traditional banks fall shortFor some startup founders, traditional banks can be rigid and don’t always fulfill their needs. Critics cite lengthy onboarding processes, clunky user interfaces, and manual workflows as downsides.I believe for startups, this is more than just frustrating – it’s a growth killer. Instead of focusing on scaling their business, founders are stuck dealing with slow processes and outdated systems.See also: Indonesia’s banks are taking over BNPL. Can fintech firms survive?Fintech platforms like Aspire, Airwallex, and Brex, which provide financial tools for startups, could be one solution
