Real Estate Copywriter
RIP: 2023
TL;DR - Not enough market pain. Too much competition & price pressure. Don't care about real estate copywriting and not desperate enough to start caring.
No dedicated after action review but mentioned in this post.
TenantFlowAI
RIP: 2023
TL;DR - Too much competition and price pressure. Incumbents have a huge distribution advantage. Poor GTM channel (cold phone calls). Could make it work, determined juice ain't worth the squeeze.

600 pages on everything you ever wanted to know about Apache Spark.

RIP: 2018
