The fact that the author thought of his company as a "Django startup" is probably one of the major reasons for its failure. Two-sided marketplaces almost never live or die by their technology. eBay's technology and user experience is complete dogshit but it is still the only place you ever go to buy or sell a vintage Dukes of Hazzard lunchbox.
