We aimed to cover different sizes of business, industries, raising funds, etc. as our audience is quite broad.
Like, what could anyone learn about from what you wrote about, for example, the vegan milk startup? You just picked on a random small company, and then said generic stuff about "economies of scale".
I love hearing about failures (and am happy to talk about my own!), but there's a difference between exploring what went wrong, and "punching down". Now when you Google their names, "Biggest Y Combinator Failed Startups" will be the result. Unfair.
But one shouldn't mention the names of the founders because future crowdfunders being able to look them up for the purpose of due diligence and deciding whether to invest their hard-earned dollars in their next venture would be unethical.
(I'd imagine both the law on, and attitudes to, online privacy would be in a much different place if people in Silicon Valley exercised the same level of empathy for all those pesky end users as they always find in droves for the saintly and well-intentioned startup founders.)
