They forgot about their users.
Their product sucks.
The competition is bad.
Brand is important. Design is more important. User experience is the most important.
We have to build for people… then for profits.

You view failure as bad and not as growth, that is why your question is flawed.
Vine flopped. TikTok boomed. Startups are multivariate and many factors can affect success/failure including quite often market timing.

In theory this is the optimal Casa team:

When the space is so big and the problems abundant I think the ‘emotional runway’ is more likely for the failure than other risks.
Increasingly i’m convinced that most startups building can do well if they grind it out
Webflow nearly failed 3x but Vlad had to bring it to life!
I've been quoting this to founders for years: Do the ideas that have a risk of failure, if the reward is big enough.
