I own TheSunsetList.com domain and was planning on using it for this exact purpose. To catalog what has been tried, what mistakes have been made so that they're not made over and over.
If you guy(s) want to, we can team up and colaborate on this and make it happen. Yes crunchbase exists but it describes only the biggest failures and doesn't go into much detail as to why they fell and shut down.
- aysar 15y agoWell tbh, the question is really how would you go on about knowing about failed startups. Especially not the big ones, since typically no one covers a failed startup that no one has heard about and they just go out without even a puddle in the water.
- ChrisNorstrom 15y agoI figured a few of us here would start by pitching in our own stories, giving numbers, time spent, money lost, the nitty gritty details and in time when others see how valuable that information is they'll feel comfortable enough to share their stories too, adding on to the list. I mean entrepreneurship is all about failure. For anyone to NOT want to talk about it is to reject the fact that it's our failures that lead to successes. And there's plenty of entrepreneurs on HN and plenty of failures. Definitely enough to put together a few stories.
