Projects in various stages
The Graveyard 💀
What didn't work (and why)
Project X
Shut down after 3 months
Why it failed: No one wanted it. Built solution looking for a problem.
What I learned: Talk to 50 users before writing code.

Why it failed: Unit economics broken. CAC > LTV by 3x.
What I learned: Marketplace chicken-egg problem is real. Need one side subsidized.
“Failure is data. I document every lesson.”
