On: We haven’t failed, but successfully shown it doesn’t work

[bad_user]

The investors got more than 50% of their investment back; this doesn't happen very often with failures.

    They are saying 'That was a failure.'

But there are lots of failures of lots of startups and as an investor you're betting on a few winnings among lots of loses. Investors may actually be happy with this outcome simply because it could have been a lot worse.
