Hey Product Hunters! I am Rich, maker of Failory. 16 months ago, I launched Failory 1.0 on Product Hunt, which consisted on a website where I weekly interviewed the founders of failed startups. Since then, I have been working on the site and improving it so as to provide the users with more tools and resources. 4 weeks ago, I decided it was time to carry out a re-design. I didn't want the interviews with the failed founders to be the main topic of the website anymore. That is why I completely re-designed the homepage and made important improvements throughout all the website. Today, I am launching this new Failory which aims to provide useful resources and content for startup founders and for those who are looking to start a business. I am also almost finishing a great tool which will be called Startup Cemetery, in which I have analyzed the causes of failure of +100 companies. I would love to hear your opinion and feedback about Failory 2.0 - if you want, contact me through social networks 🐦, email (hello@failory.com) ✉️, or leave a comment below (I will be reading all of them) 👇.

@failory @clominson looks great! can you share details on how you approached such a long term content effort (especially the interviews!) Also, any tips on designing with webflow? I'm exploring it but feeling a bit overwhelmed atm. Did you start from scratch or from a template?

I read Failory in batches. I start with one story and read many more. And it is an excellent usage of my time, compared to the rah-rah that surrounds entrepreneurship. I also learn lots and lots from these experiences, and appreciate founders sharing their stories. Also, wonderful to see so many rebound with athe next venture.

Pros:

Learn from mistakes / Make entrepreneurship real/ Take responsibility / Know that there is a downside

Cons:

None ..
