Documented cause
Needit launched as an on-demand home services platform in Santiago, connecting homeowners with vetted professionals. Despite early traction, the unit economics were structurally broken: high fragmentation on the supply side, expensive customer acquisition, and low repeat rates made each job unprofitable. Multiple pivots to B2B and corporate services couldn't fix the fundamentals.
Lesson
“On-demand home services require extreme density in a single city before expansion — spreading thin across a market is fatal.”
