A bit bittersweet for me. I had a failed startup a year ago where we were trying to connect consumers with local woodworkers and metalworkers. At the time, we attributed our lack of success to Fab and their ability to convince consumers to focus on discounts. We had a ton of other reasons for failing but ecommerce, especially for higher ticket items is extremely difficult and definitely sucks that they didn't make it work. On an abstract level I feel validated that their model didn't succeed but I also sympathize with the founders and the rest of the team. Hopefully they learned a ton and land on their feet. |
