How not to scale a startup

How much did the Fast founders walk away with?

Not to be mean, but a lot of these were rookie errors that could have been avoided if you had some experience. Just because there is a low barrier to entry, doesn't mean everyone should be building a startup. That's why failure rates are so high amongst first-time founders. Advice to others - don't rush to do something you know nothing about.

Thanks for sharing this. It's always really helpful to read failure stories rather than success stories because it puts things into perspective about how hard it is. You have to wear many hats and do everything right at exactly the right time. I often think there is a lot of luck involved too. Glad you found the positives in your 'failure' and moved on to bigger and better things.
