Cause of death: the autopsy

The probe found Growjo's revenue estimates were off by 0.26x to 3.1x on every checkable startup (0 of 4 within 50%). But TrustMRR already publishes payment-provider-verified revenue, free to browse, and Growjo's buyers want numbers for companies that will never connect Stripe. Only a blog post was left.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
