Failory - We've just launched our first eBook!

Based on last week's survey, we've created our first digital product.

👋 Hey Failories! It's Nico over here, with some amazing news...

We've just launched our first digital product! It's an eBook called: "10 Failed Startups: Interviews with their founders".

    10 failed startups eBook


    We've recently interviewed the founders of ten really interesting shutdown startups (you'll probably know some of these founders!) and have written this eBook with the following format for each story:

    • Main 3-5 takeaways
    • Interview with the founder
    • Our analysis of the failure
    • Resources to avoid the founder's mistakes.


    These interviews are an improved version of the interviews we openly publish over here, so you MUST check this eBook if you find those helpful. 

    As for the analyses, you can expect something similar to what we have done for our Vine article, plus a series of resources & tools related to each mistake and cause of failure. 

    Note that the eBook isn't ready yet. November 6th is the estimated launch date. However, the price will soon start to increase, so make sure to purchase it now to get it at the lowest price for being a Failory's newsletter subscriber.

    You can get it on Gumroad for $5 for a limited time!

    The Project:

    If you've been into the newsletter for some weeks, you probably know what's all this about, as I've shared in a previous email the details of the project and requested your feedback.

    If you're new, it's a project I'm working on with the help of Dru Riley, founder of Trends, and that aims to provide Failories with high-quality content at an affordable price.

    Once +130 people had replied to the survey I sent last week, I analyzed the results and found out that "startup failure & mistakes" was the most voted topic people were interested in learning about, and that "eBook" was the second most preferred format for the product.

    That's how I came up with this eBook idea and immediately started working on it.

    --

    Once again, here's the link to it. It is $5 right now, but I'll be increasing the price soon, so make sure to get it now.

    Let me know if you have any kind of feedback or comments around this project or the eBook. I'd love to add anything you think would be helpful.

    - Nico
