You're not an Indie Entrepreneur, that is complete nonsense. Indie just means independent, and given that all entrepreneurs are by definition independent, you're kind of giving me insight into why you failed. Indie only applies to 2 industries, game development and music, both of these industries are mainly dominated by major studios which people work for even if they are well known publicly.
Don't get me wrong, starting a business is extremely hard work, and I'm sure you did everything you could, but when every 5th word you say or write is essentially a buzz word, people don't respond to that. Also, if all of your advertising was digital, then you need a minimum startup capital that can pay influences to make people aware of you and your product. It sucks, but unless you have a sizable following or are yourself a really good salesman, you're more likely to fail.
This is something I've studied extensively, and it's painful every time I have to tell a friend they would suck at running their own business.
