Comment on How I killed my start-up (a post mortem)

Comments

No hockey stick after 5 months? Yeah, time to quit and move on.

Seriously? 5 months? That's it? I would have killed for any media exposure and even 100 signups after 5 months. It took me at least that long just to get some small-time bloggers to take me seriously.

Unless you've seriously f-ed up (like emailing your entire userbase telling them "I quit, eat me."), then you've still got a userbase and a decent idea. I really doubt that it's commercially viable (didn't see a single mention of a revenue plan), but if you're just doing it for fun then push forward.

off-topic, but i love your design on obsidianportal.com.
