Ask HN: Why did your startup fail and what did you learn?
We wanted to create a routing app for bikes, which would take in consideration cliffs, dangerous streets and the likes.<p>With our internal team, we’ve managed to create a killer backend that would do all the hard routing stuff without issues. It was better than Google Maps in most cases!<p>Now, we just needed the app. We used all our money to pay a third party contractor to make the app, and they failed miserably. We never received a working prototype. We ran out of gas.<p>The backend still exists, in case anyone wants to give the app a shot. I might release the backend as open source. Ping me if this interests you.
