Most startups actually start down and only go up if they catch the winds of market demand.

supply-and-demand replied to your post: No offense baptists, but you guys confuse me.

We’re called that because we believe in believers baptism as opposed to sprinkling.

So why not get baptized as soon as you are a believer? Once again, I'm just trying to understand. No offense intended.

Supply and demand refers to a fundamental concept of market economies. Supply identifies how much of something the market can provide. Demand, on the other hand, refers to the amount or quantity of a product or services that buyers’ desire. Supply and demand directly relates to the price of a good and serves as a primary force in the allocation of resources for products. A number of theories further evaluate these relationships, such as the law of demand. The law of demand states that consumers will purchase more of a product or service the lower its price and less of it at a higher cost. Subsequently, the law of supply correlates to supplier nature, stating that producers and distributors will set a higher price for a greater quantity of an item.

  The supply and demand relationship may affect the economy in several different ways. Equilibrium refers to an economy where supply and demand balance each other out. Only achievable in theory, equilibrium represents the most efficient form of allocation of goods because consumers request exactly the amount of product provided. However, the real economy exists in constant flux between levels of supply and demand and thus disequilibrium occurs. Disequilibrium manifests itself in two different ways: excess supply or excess demand. Excess supply occurs when a manufacturer or distributor sets their prices too high, leading to a lower interest than expected and an overabundance of unwanted goods. Conversely, excess demand happens when a product’s low price attracts too many consumers, resulting in not enough goods to satisfy the overall need.
