hi helen, love the concept and encouraging to hear that it was worth pursuing start-up life for it. would be very curious to hear about what mandated pivoting away from crowdfunding and its difficulties. also questions about realistic budget numbers, if you can disclose at all. looking forward to seeing the next venture!

Hi Helen -

What an amazing post. I have to say, it takes a lot of guts to go out there and write the reasons that you failed. Huge kudos to you for passing your lessons along.

We met a long long time ago, at an Astia event and then your launch party in London.
Would love to meet up when you’re next in London.

Carolyn

Hello Helen! I’m really sorry to hear of the news, I just found your website and thought it was a cool idea. I have a similar company with a different niche and I’m curious to know what difficulties you encountered when trying to scale your company and what you would do differently to pivot away from “the crowd.” Any info that you can share is very much appreciated.
Thanks Helen, and I’ll be looking forward to your next venture !!!

Hello, Helen.

A friend and I are working on developing an idea similar to yours, but for other less mature market than yours.
And I found your site by chance.
I see you explain that one of the reasons to close the project is that (copy and paste) “our pockets simply aren’t deep enough to catch up on the competitors”.

Can you tell us who are those competitors?
Our aproach to business is more complex in some ways that yours and easier in others.
But maybe would be useful to see the websites of those competitors.
To avoid mistakes, something that market does not forgive.

Thank you very much.
(And to see if Boro returns to Premiership next season).

Javier.
