Why? The entire point of a startup is to combine capital and labor in a way that is likely to fail on the off chance that it succeeds wildly.

You greatly leverage your capital and labor resources in an attempt to come skidding afire to a safe landing at profitability. Planning for crises would require taking resources away from growth, and reducing the opportunity to succeed.




Less gambling and more thoughtful planning to maximize success, isn’t a bad thing for startup (culture).
