I think this sounds like exactly the kind of failed frenzied early career experience that everyone should have. I had a similar one. Bravo on the write up, truly a right of passage into the world of startups and tech.

I have invested in few startups, being a part of 2 (out of 12 or 14). Some of them worked perfectly, some didnt and 2 were a scam. Robberies in white gloves.

Not to say anything bad about yourself, at least you received your lesson. Very valuable. Probably for life of investments and management.

Im so surprised you havent run earlier. Those founders were dreamers or lunatics rather. With some idea, dug out of the nose hole. Well done. Based on imaginary or profit-promised workforce. I met 2 such people in my past. Smooth talkers. Specialists in burning investors money.

Was so easy to make it working and basic level (you mentioned town level).

Anyways, good luck in your future and mind the time wasters, tire kickers and window lickers :)
