Potentially a great idea. I have wanted to see data on the reasons startups failed.
One of the problems with this sort of thing is that it is not clear what the category of the failure should be. In a sense, the vast majority of failures is: no sales.
But is this because of "product-market fit" (they just didn't want it), or "customer acquisition costs" (couldn't get the word out), or "lack of runway" (can't get the word out fast enough).
That's why you almost need some hybrid of story telling and data so you can compare what Balaji Srinivasan calls "the idea maze."
I wish I could compare the series of decisions in some manner, and not just read it as a story.
