AUTOPSY REPORT

YC darling that raised $40M to be the 'Uber for home cleaning.' Growth looked great because they were subsidizing every cleaning at a loss to juice the metrics . Hit with worker misclassification lawsuits. Shut down in 2015. Adora went on to become a YC partner. Failing up, YC style.
