#2Per [1], the average cost of each user the month before closure was $0.56, and the average cost of each user with accessible photos was $0.75.
Just one of the many important costs of a freemium business model.

#4Could Everpix have been run by a very small team at the end, rather than shut down? It looks like it was near adding a net 1,000 subscribers per month.
Also, wouldn't it have been possible - with the understood pain points - to substantially reduce costs by moving off of AWS? Trading the ease of AWS for the critical cash for operations.

And here it is - the side effects of the talent war in full effect:
HR - $1,374,695.06 - or 52% of total costs
And the real winners of the whole thing (the pick axe industry):
AWS - $394,588.35 - or 14% of total costs

#7Thank you for this. Reading the VC letters was just so amazingly refreshing I can't begin to tell you. I love how they said "no" in almost all the same ways.
I'd really like to know the two that were so standup, that they wouldn't fund a competitor or someone who could, eventually, be a competitor. In all honesty, those are the types of funds you want backing you. They've bought your vision and they're not going to do anything to undercut you.

#9What a hugely useful thing for you guys to do. Thank you, truly.
The lesson I see from this: AWS hurts bad if you are using it heavily, but salaries... salaries kill. Automate, outsource and self-build as much and as long as you can possibly stand it, and then push on a lot longer than that.

#10The trend towards startup transparency is pretty damn awesome as a startup founder myself. Even with startups that have nothing to do with photo sharing, being able to see the guts of a (failed) startup is extremely insightful.
