sounds like a pretty lame excuse. It failed because the market is saturated, the growth slowed, and the margins are low . It was badly managed company, a poor product, and a bad marketplace. There are many major successful web 2.0 companies are over-funded but didn't fail.

These aren’t contradictory: all of those problems are harder to notice when you’re overfunded.

the business would have likely failed anyway, the only difference being it would not have taken so much money with it
