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 :)
This is happening right now to one of my close friends. I’d love to send him the article, but I think he needs to figure it out for himself. And it feels too cruel right now. Maybe I will send it over after it all falls apart. Or against all odds they pull it off and start making money.
Nice write up, and kind of symbolises my journey writing my first book. As a good author (IMHO) I released my first book to total and utter silence, and I've been learning since that it is not good enough to be the best at something. You need to be the best at something + be able to market yourself or your product.

Appreciate your kind words! Agree this is 100% a worthwhile experience, I took a lot out of it.
