Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to pay our respects to three startups.
TechHub want to look at the “fail fast – learn quick” culture that is everywhere in the startup world and thought that moving eulogies from the CEOs of failed startups would be an excellent way to start. Everyone can talk about success, but it takes something special to talk about failure. Startups will often have a booming launch party, spend forever finding a cofounder and if they're lucky, get acquired by larger companies but this not the only exit strategy.So, instead of ignoring the startups that have failed to live for long enough to do these things, we want to celebrate the lives of these startups by remembering them with love.
Joining us are three founders to tell us everything and bid a tearful adios to their startup babies. Our condolences to them:

In between races, he builds things mainly in internet. Husband of Candela. Father of two, Dani and Irene. He's currently working at 8kdata trying to build the first 100% Spanish database. He refers to himself as someone who got tired of talking and started doing things. A few years ago he made a career change and left his job at Atlassian, jumping into the startup world. @david_bonilla

Otogami was designed to provide valuable information not only to final users but also to ecommerce sites, videogames studios and publishers. Back in March Otogami died for him. He sold it for an euro and joined 8kdata team as product manager. So many learnings out of it. Wanna know about them?
