didn’t focus on learning & failing fast until it was too late

I love how they stated it as not just learning but failing fast too. We all learn from failures and knowing what clients don’t like is just as helpful as what they do.

made compromises in early hiring decisions – choose expediency over talent/competency

You always hear how your first hires are the ones that matter most. What position are you hiring for, how do they fit the team and culture you want to build, where do you see them growing as the company quickly grows?

Anyhow, I appreciate the founders of EventVue posting what they did. It’s hard to let your startup go and harder still to admit what you did wrong. I’m sure in the future those that they’ll go on to start up new ventures that go further.
