Documented cause

Reworth built an employee benefits and financial wellness platform for Colombian enterprises, reaching 200 corporate clients. A co-founder dispute in 2021 led to the departure of the founding CTO — the technical co-founder who had built all enterprise integrations. Without the CTO, product development stalled, integration maintenance fell behind, and enterprise clients began churning. The company could not rebuild technical capacity and shut down in 2022.

Lesson

“In enterprise B2B, the CTO's institutional knowledge of client integrations is a critical single point of failure. Document integrations obsessively, cross-train teams, and resolve co-founder disputes before they become irreconcilable.”

FAQ

Reworth, a Colombian employee benefits fintech with 200 enterprise clients, shut down in 2022 after a co-founder dispute led to the CTO's departure. Without the technical co-founder who built enterprise integrations, product development stalled and clients churned.
