Website Failure Provides A Fruitful Seed For Investing Success

Fruitful Failure
Failure that plants a seed for future success

While working for Time, Inc., Fran Hauser and her team launched a site called StyleFind. It was a shopping website that InStyle editors managed. After two years of floundering, Hauser realized StyleFind would never be a success and shut it down

Hauser recognized that her team launched StyleFind without a consumer value proposition, “a statement that describes why a customer should buy a product or use a service.”

Hauser eventually left Time, Inc. and moved into investing. StyleFind’s failure planted a seed Fran used as an investor. She listened for a founder’s ability to communicate the consumer value proposition for their business. The most promising companies have the clearest consumer value propositions.
