How My Start-Up Failed
Your startup died because 1, O-N-E deal did not work out? How many other people did you try to sell to?

I was not able to acquire insurance coverage. Could not continue.

Is that required by some local law? Or was that insurance needed for your clients to trust your product?

It was not required by law. I wanted insurance, because the shrink wrapping process used an open flame to shrink the plastic. It reacted to heat. I could have continued without it, but it was too much risk (for all involved).
