A public archive for startup failures, hard lessons, and the ideas that still have something to teach.
About me
I built Startup Graveyard because most startup stories are told after the win. The failures are usually quieter, messier, and more useful.
This project is a place to collect those lessons without turning them into shame. Every shutdown, stalled launch, bad market, and painful pivot can help another founder ask better questions before they spend the next six months building the wrong thing.
The goal is simple: make failure easier to study, easier to talk about, and a little less lonely for the people building through it.
Preserve startup stories that would otherwise disappear.
Turn causes of death into patterns founders can avoid.
Give builders a place to compare notes without the victory lap.
