1. Great marketing strategies 2. Low competition level (Either the idea is unique or there aren't many strong competitors) 3. Great branding 4. Great services, features, etc. Also as a side note, the startup idea should be such that customers be willing to pay for its services, features, or itself.

A great co-founding team. That's all I believe in, if the founder work well together and believe they could make something work, they will find a way.

Right product, right people, right place, right time. Execution.
