Good advices, however looking at your startup seems to me you are far away from 'failed'.
Failed to me is when you exhausted every single option to improve and even then, you pick up and try to improve.

Imagine failing about 10.000 times and that 1 time worked ?

“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” 
― Thomas A. Edison

You would probably know more about that as we come from neighboring countries and know the history of Nikola Tesla :)

Anyway, I think you are still far away from failure, you just need someone that went through what you went through but from management side of view, that can help you grow your business.

For starters, if you want to appeal to english speaking countries and customers, I would strongly advice to look into grammar on your site, and then instead of 'contact us' at the end of the page... add something like - "schedule a demo today" .

Again, great post and pointers above.

Hei Joe,
Thank you very much for your feedback and advice. The website you are looking at is already 4 years old, we kind of stop it 3 years ago. From the perspective, you are looking, it is true that my ’failure’ is not a deadly crash, but still, I consider it as semi-closed, and moved to next chapter. When I moved to Berlin, my intention was to be as close as possible to the epicenter of the startup scene, so I can try out some new ideas.
Thank you once again for encouraging words, I appreciate it!

Funny I moved to Berlin out of exyu.. now in USA.

I agree with you, you should not dwell on old stuff and let you pull in.. everyone should know the time when to get out.
