A Graveyard of Startups
by hito20·Jul 27, 2026·2 points·5 comments
AI Analysis
●MidNiche Gem
Crunchbase for dead companies, but the data depth looks thin.
Strengths
- •Thematic angle on failure analysis is more useful than generic startup directories.
- •Simple input-output flow makes it easy to test a hypothesis quickly.
Weaknesses
- •Failure data is often anecdotal; hard to verify accuracy without primary sources.
- •Competes with free Google searches and existing post-mortem blogs.

Post Description
I built Startup Graveyard after realizing it's hard to find startups that didn't make it.
You can paste your startup idea, and it will find similar startups that were shut down or abandoned, along with why they failed (when that information is available).
I'd love to hear what the HN community thinks:)
