Raising $5.5M to Build the Community Platform for Creators

🎉 Hey Failories! It's Nico here.

This week, I started working on a new project within Failory called the Google Cemetery, a place where we'll analyze the +100 failed products and projects from Google. This week, I started with Google Glass, one of the biggest failures of the company.

The Google Cemetery is also one of my first steps towards increasing the organic traffic of the site, which my goal is to grow to 150k users per month, as I've mentioned a few weeks ago. Fingers crossed it works!
