Reasons for Shutdown

Lack of Experience

All of the founders was first-time founders

As first-time founders, they did not listen to advice very well and thinking that they know everything .
Also, the web was not a new concept where the idea has been tried by google and it did not work .
The founder failed to dive deep and learn from others who have tried and failed.
