Startup failures, case by case

Browse all 138 startup failure pages A-Z →

127 startups that shut down, went bankrupt, collapsed or saw executives charged: what happened, the money, the legal outcomes, with a source for every statement.

127 case files, newest failures first. Each one covers the company's timeline, the money it raised, what happened, any legal outcomes and where the founders went, and every statement carries a note to a court record, a filing or a named publication.

Each case file below is built only from court records, filings and named publications, and every statement on it carries a note to its source. Allegations appear with their status; nothing is our opinion of why a company failed.

How these case files are made

A case file is published only when its statements have been checked against the sources they cite: a figure, a date or a name that the cited source does not contain is cut. Cases whose sources could not support a full file are not listed. Allegations are shown with their status as of the cited source. The year is the one the sources give for the shutdown, bankruptcy, collapse or charges; the amount raised is shown only where a source states it.
