Tailscan

Company / founder claim

Erwin attributes early growth to search, newsletter sponsorships, public progress reports and social mentions. The post also describes a viral discussion bringing traffic; it does not prove that those visits became retained subscribers.

Documented fact

The current Open Startup page says Tailscan stopped publishing live financial metrics after more than a year and a half. Dated founder articles remain available. An old milestone cannot be relabeled as a current dashboard observation.
