There definitely is a funeral-insurcance-disrupting startup in grave.ly...

It sounds like a combination of two rather common startup mistakes: Not making something people want (enough), and spending raised money too fast. Side note: I think the font size is way to big on this page.

Get a team! Seriously, it sounds you're basically working alone most of the time. This doesn't work for most people (including me) - find a small, "doable" project, doesn't have to be world changing, that you and some other people can complete (complete = getting to measurable result) in a month or two. Even if it fails, you're still in a mentally & emotionally better situation than before. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you've got time for those world-changing projects later on.

I'm sorry, but my inner hacker just has to mention this: There's a syntax error in your BANT script - one closing paranthesis missing at "(match(features, needs)". But the article overall is great!

if ( (budget >= price) AND (Authority.isInvolved()) AND (match(features, needs) AND (timeframe == now)) {

   proceed(); 

 } else { 

   quit(); 

 }

Can you explain this line to me? I somehow don't get it.
