Business Startup
What is a “Startup“? More importantly, what are the foundational elements necessary to start a new business? At its foundation, the Industrial Observer newsletter is a business startup. We sprouted from a collaboration between two creative Entrepreneurs equally passionate about helping fellow Entrepreneurs and startups pave a path towards success. Helping other business owners succeed is our purpose.
Here are the 5 must-haves before you spend a dime on any startup venture:
1) Is there a Marketplace?
2) Is it Profitable? (Product or Service)
3) Is your sales process Repeatable?
4) Is it Scalable?
5) Is it Sustainable?
03
Innovation
Innovation starts with one thing: Creativity. Our carefully-researched, and curated business and tech newsletter is all about sharing real-world insights and news related to truly creative and innovative startups. Our news briefs cover new startups and industry-leading companies that have grown to become the world-class enterprises currently at the forefront of technological innovations shaping the world around us.

Business Growth
Growth equals success; in that order. What is more important than the growth of your business? Nothing. Without growth there is no success. Growing your business in the digital age is a complex and multi-faceted mix of many different marketing strategies and data-driven marketing plans.
For example: digital marketing plan, sales funnels, email marketing, sms marketing, analytics, conversion rate optimization (CRO), search engine optimization (SEO), return on ad spend (ROAS), and a lot more! Our business newsletter covers all the facets of growth in the digital age.
05
Sustainability
Sustainability has two elements: 1) in business refers to the effect that companies have on the environment or society. 2) the ability of the business to function and generate cash-flow when the owner or management team is unavailable a certain period of time. In other words, how long can the controlling entity of the business be absent until the business turns into a 3-ring circus and starts to lose money?
Sustainability also refers to the responsibility that the business has to its operating environment. There are more than just profits to consider when it comes to sustainability. A business that adheres to both profit-generating and environmentally-friendly practices is the true definition of sustainability.
A ‘sustainable business strategy‘ aims to positively impact one or more of the following areas: ecological, social, or economic environment. Having a sustainable business strategy helps to address some of the world’s most pressing environmental and societal problems.
