The "move to the us" thing seems to just be absolute twitter brain. The biggest problem London founders face is raising funding and these guys seemingly raised plenty based on an idea that that didn't seem to understand the market they were targeting.

These buffoons started with a bad idea, raised a lot of money to do the impossible, unsurprisingly failed, and learned basically nothing. Or what they did learn was irrelevant to the reason why they failed.

It's very depressing, but at least I don't work for them. That would square my depression.

I don’t think that’s very fair.

They seemingly learned a lot. Unfortunately a lot of what they learnt should have been obvious from the start.

It shouldn’t take two years to figure out you need to speak to your customers and bring in revenue.
