#23Why is everyone so worried?
Because if $42 million in credible VC's money consistently gets toileted on things like this, it bodes poorly for all of us who are looking for funding.
I humbly disagree. Investors will learn. At least some will. And more intelligently-spent money helps every one of us.

There is definitely schadenfreude happening here, but at the same time, it's fair to nitpick if you want to learn about what went wrong. The same discussion, in business school, is called a case study.

#25Relaunching before end of year, roughly a decade worth of runway, CEO is friends with Steve Jobs. Not going anywhere anytime soon.
You really think they have a decade worth of runway? $42 mil is a lot, but for a relatively extravagant startup, I could easily see $4/mil a year going to operational costs, high-profile new hires, marketing.

I'm not worried, but I am very curious about how so much money and talent could produce so little.
