My mistake: a lack of passion for the core business model. Focused on the technology I am passionate about, drove the startup through this passion and technology, failed to focus on and understand what the core demographic truly wanted.
By the time I realized my mistake, I was ready to move on to another startup. Wasn't able to create passion for a core business and the technology wasn't enough.
