- Talent Shortage
- Melissa (founder) was a non-technical founder.
- Juggled too many things at once, including adding restaurants, sourcing new restaurants, talking to restaurants and users.
- Hard to find the right team who already have high salaries and perks working at Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
- Lack of Funds
- Everything was from the founder's personal savings.
- Approached Rock Health but did not manage to get through due to their concerns that Cusoy's nature would be difficult to scale and grow.
