    This guy followed the playbook of a VC-backed startup while being self-funded: no up-front customers, buying in advance of need, counting on growth, and holding fast when things looked grim. Death by YC overdose.

    I hope his personal debt and credit aren’t too badly affected and that he has better luck his next go ‘round.
