I think you missed my intended point. Of course there are no perfect startups. However, at any given time there are multiple startups doing largely the same thing, but most of them will fail. I want stories about why Startup A succeeded, and why Startup B doing the same thing in the same space at the same time failed. We typically only get the former stories, which aren't very helpful in a vacuum. It's far more educational to look at both sides and draw conclusions.
