Thanks. That site is advertising-heavy, but does have some info. One thing that could be done better is that the interviews I skimmed are softball to one person. So this is more the "incredible journey" answer for why it failed, but the actual dozen unflattering reasons.

  The exceedingly tidy high-level explanations might be OK for some purposes, but not so for actually avoiding the contributing factors happening again to countless startups in the future. I wonder whether anyone at any investment firm bothers to understand why a startup actually failed, or that's irrelevant to their operating model.
