There is a history of these types of crowd-sourced-product-creation companies going under. I personally think the reason is because it is relatively easy to build a product. But it is incredibly difficult to build a business around a product. It is very difficult to get traction and you have to really focus on and refine your product. So you have a startup who&#x27;s concept is to crank out product after product, and then just throw them into the wind, hoping something will take off. Even businesses with one amazing product don&#x27;t take off that way. A huge corporation can afford an R&amp;D lab where 1 out of 1000 products might take off. (You might even say ycombinator is such a concept) A startup with a little bit of funding cannot afford to crank out dud after dud. They&#x27;re betting that they will hit the jackpot after, say, 5 or 10 products, depending on the amount of runway they have.<p>Then again, there&#x27;s a lot of businesses that were successful because they found the magic sauce that all of their predecessors were unable to find. If you think you&#x27;ve found it, then definitely go for it! If you think your concept is pretty much a rehash of Assembly, then I would probably start thinking seriously about how you are going to succeed where they failed.
