So than that poses a great question how many more great companies die every day without proper help and not being at the right place at the right time?

You can tell from how close some of the great ones come to dying how many others must actually die.

What was going to kill it?

The founders. After a year of working on the company with no growth, they'd decided they'd give it one last try during YC.
