There are many reasons for HouseTrip’s failure, it’s a shame that Arnaud has either been either unable to reflect on them or unable to share them. These conspiracy theories may soothe the ego but do little to explain why the business failed. Weak management, ego, a flawed business model, inexperience, bad product, unsustainable growth, low quality team and ineffectual board. Add these things together and you get HouseTrip. Arnaud doesn’t take responsibility for his failure which demonstrates his inability to learn and grow and how much his ego clouded his judgement. The board understood this too late unfortunately. A bad case of hubris.
