I am involved in trying to restart a company now that almost mirrors the description you had above. We are finding overcoming some of the negative stigma of the failed enity a bit of a challenge in funding. Any additional experience you can share on the restart funding process would be appreciated.

In one sense, a restart acknowledges that although the company may have taken two or three rounds of capital, its progress is closer to that of a late Series A. Consequently, one would assume that there would be a plan for a Series B and C as the product starts to gain traction, etc. But this can be more difficult in a restart unless the investors that participate have this in their heads and in their investment reserves. Otherwise, it's just life support. Another issue to consider is the effect the restart has on future financings.
