I think their problem was more fundamental than poor execution, it was just a bad idea for a business. How many people out there really want to help pay for someone else's trip, regardless of how amazing that trip may be?

I can believe they got a lot of signups, who doesn't want someone else to pay for their trip? Plus you can look around and see what amazing trips other people are planning so you can help plan your own amazing trip.

But I can't imagine that there are enough people willing to actually fund someone's vacation to make running the site worthwhile. So without these amazing trips getting funded, eventually interest would dry up.

Hey Johnny. I believe it's a combination of both. I would like to refer you to my other comment to explain where we saw the potential - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9951927
