Once upon a time, not long ago,
A startup was born, and began to grow.
A team of bright minds with a big dream,
To create something new, or so it seemed.

They drew up a wireframe, a plan to follow,
A strategy to succeed, not just hollow.
They thought of the user, and what they'd need,
To make their product a true succeed.

The stage was set, they put on a show,
And soon enough, their venture began to glow.
Their hard work paid off, as they gained traction,
Their valuation grew, it was no small fraction.

So remember kids, when you start something new,
Think of your team and your strategy too.
Consider the user, and make a plan,
And with hard work, your startup can stand.
