Most of these, given the order, look to be from our original compilation of startup failure post-mortems. We've compiled 101 to date which you can see here.

Perhaps more useful, we also sifted through and analyzed each post-mortem to identify the top 20 reasons for startup failure. The biggest reasons founders have cited has not been running out of money or the economy but building a solution looking for a problem.

"But you must provide an email to get access to that."

"And our email validator is totally broken"
We use an ESP to send the emails and sometimes, the PDF goes instantly and sometimes upto an hour. If you didn't receive for some reason, feel free to ping me directly. Email in profile.
It doesn't get that far. I type in my email, press the button and "Please enter a valid email address." appears. Not sure why I've been downvoted for the previous comment, your validator really is broken.

6 alpha chars @ gmail.com, on Firefox and Chrome on OS X 10.9.5. Really should work; doesn't. Console shows that you're passing an empty string to getElementById at some point.

If you want the pdf, feel free to send me an email, and I'll send it to you. (email in profile)

Note: I didn't downvote you.
