This paper, employing an online survey seeking responses from startup founders and customers, examines the DT defined from challenges, tools, and strategies. Studious also show that digital customer-oriented methods greatly improve the realisation of adoption achievements. Strategies for startups to adapt and launch their digital projects to meet the expectations of the customers are presented to give practical recommendations for future development.
