After seeing the news of Neeva shutting down, it was interesting to listen to Sridhar Ramaswamy on the No Priors podcast just ~1 month prior, talking about how the company had found product market fit and their "Aha!" moment, etc, and just generally presenting the kind of incredibly positive image one expects a founder to relentlessly present. But I guess in reality things were extremely different. Always be skeptical when someone is "talking their book." They will always say things are great, regardless of the situation, and sometimes it's actually a clue that things are even worse, as that's why they're on a media tour instead of working. But hey, $150 million isn't the worst way to fail.
