         | A small number of reposts is ok if an article hasn't had
         | significant attention yet. This is in the FAQ:
         | https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#reposts.
         | 
         | The reason we have this rule is that the /newest page is a bit
         | of a lottery, meaning good submissions often get overlooked,
         | and we want to mitigate that randomness a bit.
         | 
         | Of course, this could cross into spamming, especially when an
         | account is promoting the same thing/company/site, or handful
         | thereof. But that's not the case here. azhenley is one of the
         | best submitters on HN!

         | Third time! It's good. I like reading these kind of stories so
         | I resubmit if they don't get attention.

           | loads the prior submission. How do you avoid that?

             | votes.

       | The biggest two lessons that may or may not have been learned by
       | this founder is they raised from the wrong type of investors and
       | didn't set expectations when the business started to look like a
       | cash cow instead of a growth engine.
       | 
       | With the right investors could've funded a small team and turned
       | a handy profit for those with equity.

       | I think an interesting observation here is the amount of
       | integration time necessary in the B2B space, when each of your
       | customers are using their own internal tools that you have to
       | interface with.
       | 
       | This can be problem for many SaaS since it limits a one size fits
       | all approach, but it could also be used as a moat if you are the
       | only one with a specific integration.
