After burning through $200K+ across 47 different startup attempts, I analyzed the patterns that led to consistent failure. This checklist documents the most common anti-patterns: premature scaling, building without customer validation, ignoring unit economics, and legal/technical debt accumulation. Available at cost ($5) as many of these mistakes are systematically avoidable with the right framework.

Thanks for the interest! A few quick notes for anyone considering this:

• The $200K+ loss is real - I actually tracked every failed attempt in detail • Most expensive mistake: Building a food delivery app for 8 months without talking to restaurants first. $47K down the drain. • The checklist format works because you can literally go through it before making any major decision • At $5, it's intentionally priced at coffee-level to remove friction (I learned the hard way that perfectionist founders will spend $50K on the wrong features but hesitate over a $5 guide)

Currently 47 items covering everything from "Did you validate this with 10+ potential customers?" to "Do you have a realistic customer acquisition cost model?"

Happy to answer specific questions about any of the failure patterns if helpful.
