AUTOPSY

Autopsy gathers data and lessons from failed startups. It has the largest database on startup failure globally ranging from tech startups predominantly within Pre-seed to Series A stages. The website launched in 2015 where it received over 100,000 page views upon its first four days of launch, became number one on Product Hunt and HackerNews, was mentioned by Marc Andreessen on Twitter as the ‘catalog of future successful startups’ alongside being featured in multiple popular publications su... ch as Bloomberg, The Next Web, Wall Street Journal and Business Insider. While there are many companies that have focused on collecting data of successful firms, the resulting survivor bias creates fundamental problems for any resultant findings. We seek to overcome this by also collecting information of firms which have failed. Autopsy continues to capture and analyse failure data to provide an insight into the reasons why companies fail and what key data and lessons derived from their failure can be useful for future startups and other stakeholders in the space such as Venture Capitalists.More
