Didn't notice the mix up between "can" and "will" in the titles and referred to to the "will".
My first thought, before reading the article was: "good: fail quickly". From reading the article I get: "Focus only on funding and marketing will kill your startup fast", but not, as the title implies, that there is a downside to being funded and using that money in a not too stupid way.
I blame the companies priorities if it's blowing all funding on a marketing campaign, while having a stagnant product. I assume without funding they would fall over the same wrong priorities, just not as fast.
