Warning: Does not actually mention how to tell when a startup has failed.

Right: title is nice, article is a bit lacking.

I was imagining a combination of metrics (and a heavy use of the Crunchbase API) that would allow you to guess their burn rate and cash remaining. Could be pretty cool. Maybe someone wants to build it?

I went even further, and imagined general advice about how to tell when it's time to abandon your startup vs sticking with it.

Well, aren't we all disappointed, lol.

I upvoted it purely for the crushing sense of bitter disappointment.

This is exactly what I imagined. The title is "How To Tell ..."

I went further still, and imagined a pitcher full of beer and a dozen topless cheerleaders.

I didn't read the article, though.
