Welcome to startupland, where perfectly successful ideas fail because too much is expected of them.

Quora has taken on too much funding to do "OK". But if it hadn't, it could end up thriving as a successful business. IMO, too many startups go down the road of taking on a ton of funding and expanding very fast. It's very easy to decide that you have the next Google on your hands, but you probably don't. There's nothing wrong with that.
