Its always nice to read about how startups succeed, but maybe more can be learned from these postmortems.

I was thinking you almost want a dedicated site for these... but could that be achieved by just having tags and filtering by tag on HN ?

Tags would help with a range of scenarios, such as if I'm only interested in Erlang posts by squid-farming bodybuilders, for example.
