It's ok to lose money in the first couple of rounds. Don't sweat it. Plan for the future and not for the present round. Plan your turnaround into profitability by round 3 or 4. If you're not turning a profit by round 4, you need to re-evaluate your strategy.

It's pretty easy to score within the top 99% of teams. Just borrow as much debt and issue as much common stock as you can in the early rounds. The key of course is to pick a strategy and stick with it. Be low cost or be a differentiator, it's tough to be both. Going the low cost route is usually the easiest, but make sure you invest heavily in automation in order to squeeze out as much savings as possible. Even if you don't go low cost it's beneficial to have high automation.

Putting multiple products in a market segment is a good idea, the more you can spread out your marketing and sales cost the better. Rule of thumb is that you need at least 2 products in any segment that you seriously want to compete in.

The big money makers are Low Cost and the average or normal segment, forgot what it is called. Hardly anyone tries to compete in the Size and Performance segments, so you can have it all to yourself if you're lucky. Unfortunately, the profit margins in both of those segments are razor thin, so you won't make as much money as in the other market segments.

Sold. Thank you very much for your interest.
