About two weeks ago there was a monthly Countdown event at Seattle’s StartPad and the topic was lessons learned from failed startups.  Mikhail Seregine of ClayValet and Mohit Srivastava of Faves.com presented.  Video and a slideshow from the evening are available at the StartPad website, and if you’re a startup junkie and/or interested in the Seattle tech scene, it’s worth a few minutes of your time.  There were some interesting takeaways.
