A Startup Company in Multiple Industries?

A Startup Company in Multiple Industries?

We have started a company and we are focusing on 5 fields simultaneously viz. software, telecom, construction and training and electrical contracts (local work).
The reason why we are concentrating on all these fields at the same time is we are a very small company and need sources of revenue generation. We will focus on a single field after say 2 years or generating enough revenue.
Is this a good strategy? Or should we concentrate on a single industry or field only right from the beginning?

	Concentrate on 1 SBU If you concentrate on 1 core competence only, this can enable you to gain expertise in that sector. That can help build your ideas and save capital you need later on.

	Concentrate on a Single Industry You should focus on one. Firstly, define which industry is the most suitable for your competence and resources. Being the best in a single selected industry will make the brand, what you are. After building the brand, you can start other businesses you'd like to do.
