Startup Graveyard – History Shouldn't Have to Repeat Itself
An interesting idea. The trouble here is that analysis like this tends to document the symptoms of failure as if they were the causes. The actual causes are more likely to be very complex, based on circumstances unique to the startup/people running it, require deep insider knowledge of the company, and in some cases be things people aren't willing to admit or recognize.<p>It's the flipside of a similar problem in analyzing why companies are successful. [1]<p>The little disclaimer at the bottom really says it all.<p>The attempt is a noble one, marred by data and insight quality issues. I think it could be useful if the site can source insightful analysis from founders/insiders and make it easy to search by market/product category. Perhaps even adding a badge to information which came from a founder.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.tomorrowtodayglobal.com/2011/12/09/good-to-great-to-gone-2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tomorrowtodayglobal.com/2011/12/09/good-to-great-...</a>
