I like Jessica, but it would be nice to get a perspective outside of the Y Combinator philosophy on starting a company.

This article mirrors what is considered conventional wisdom du juor w.r.t. startup success.

Running out of Money.

Co-Founder Issues

Lack of Traction

Those are the startup failure trifecta.

IMO biggest issue - creating a product no one really wants. How many startups create "next Facebook or Google" that no one really needs/use.

Surely that's implicit in 'lack of traction'?

It's very easy to. Plenty of stuff from First Round shows up on the HN first page. So do stories from all kinds of sources. There are regularly articles on bootstrapping, as well.
