Launching a startup can happen quickly. Making it a real business — Takes a lot of time. But how much time does it take to make a successful startup? I get asked this question a lot. The short answer is it takes at least four years just to get pointed toward a real business, and I'd argue it takes 7-10 years to make your startup the success you had in mind when that idea came to you. Having seen the journey of many startup founders and having started many companies myself, I've noticed a consistent pattern in how those formative years come together.
