Startup Graveyard ⚰️
This newsletter was brought to you bySureThingStartup Graveyard ⚰️
Over the weekend a new project launched, gathering a lot of (well-deserved) attention: Startup Graveyard.
The site's mission is to help entrepreneurs avoid the same mistakes of failed startups, increasing transparency and acknowledging the risks startups take when building something new.
Unlike similar projects that have come before it, Startup Graveyard is different, in that it shows you the reasons why popular startups didn't work out and had to shut down. Look through Homejoy, Secret, 99Dresses, 37Coins, finance startups, eCommerce startups, and more. There's a lot to learn here.

Fifty solo founders were asked to describe SureThing in one word. Nobody said 'tool.' Most said 'co-founder.' That's because it actually does founder work: reads your inbox overnight, drafts the replies, follows up on threads, and has a briefing ready when you wake up. Set it up on your phone in 60 seconds — no code, no APIs, no waiting for an engineer who doesn't exist.
