D is not dead. It is steadily growing. Not as fast as Rust for example, but still healthy. I agree that there was a nice opportunity before C++11. Now D is lurking in the shadows for another opportunity and slowly building. I believe D would be a great language for startups because it gives you options. You can do it quicky and dirty (like Python/Ruby/Perl), you can do it fast (like C/C++), you can do it safe (like Java, but not quite Rust), you can be generic and multi-paradigm (like C++), you can be easy (like Python).
