WAVEUP VIEW

The challenges of sex tech startups

Despite the rapid expansion of industry, companies face distinctive obstacles when it comes to securing funding and gaining market acceptance.

Attracting the right capital

Sex tech startups often grapple with attracting traditional venture capital due to the industry’s sensitive nature. In order to succeed, startups must know how to approach their sex tech pitch deck and communicate a compelling investment narrative to potential funders.

Measuring business performance

Steering a business in a blossoming industry can often be a challenging endeavor. Given the scarcity of well-established yardsticks and the unclear nature of relevant metrics, tracking a company’s performance and conveying it to investors can be a complex and time-intensive task.

Accelerating growth

Despite the abundance of tested go-to-market strategies and growth frameworks at their disposal, companies frequently grapple with discerning the optimal strategy and addressing the two principal queries – when is the right time to scale, and what should be the pace of that expansion?
