Product first, rebrand later. A great name can only get you so far.
Though if you have cash to burn, his method doesn't seem so off. Then again "five to ten dimes" could also get you (a) another employee or two (b) decent marketing (c) cover your overhead costs (d) rent and living expenses for a while (e) some mix of (a)-(d).

Just curious how are you differentiating from http://www.twilio.com/ and their product http://www.twilio.com/openvbx?

Re:Ask HN: Are you embarrassed by your failed projects?

Take what's worth saving and leave the rest: mistakes not to repeat, lessons worth learning, and view failures as learning experiences not as dead luggage following you.
