Diary of a Failed Startup

There’s a really interesting blog that is now called Diary of a Failed Startup (though I suspect it used to just be Diary of a Startup). The most recent post offers lots advice for startups inlcuding:

If your idea starts with “We’re building a platform to…” and you don’t have a billion dollars in capital, find a new idea. Now.

The older posts are actually from when the startup was still active and there are posts full of hope, frustration and all the other emotions that come from working really hard on a startup. Interesting stuff and of course sad that the startup is now defunct but probably some good lessons in there for startup folks.
