Hey there, I'm the creator of Collapsed.
This is the first side project that I've created and I'm really happy with what I've come up with so far. I created Collapsed because there seemed to be a lot of buzz around a few startup succeeding whilst the majority of failed startups get ignored.
I redesigned and developed this under a month after our Betalist launch and at some point found out that I couldn't implement all of the features that I wanted to include, so I ignored everything else and focused on improving the core component, tracking failed startups.
In the future, I'll be implementing a feature that allows users to give a full on analysis on why that specific startup failed (currently users can only provide a brief autopsy), but also it would allow startup founders to fully delve into how everything transpired. Furthermore, users will have the ability to ask questions on startup advice, I see very much love how Quora did it, so having a community of founders looking to improve their startups and ultimately solve their problems is the vision I'll try to achieve.
If you have any questions or would like to report any issues, just comment below and I'll get right on it.

@a4ayush Thanks Ayush! I tried to keep everything light and minimal. The initial version just left you a bit depressed reading stories about failed startups.

@aaronkazah really cool idea, glad to see it live! Great idea to focus on "tracking failed startups" since that is the core of this idea. Can't wait to see what you do next with it :)

@aaronkazah Great product. Would be great to see what they are currently doing and AMA sessions with founders (if they are open) on their collapsed pages. That helps the community!

@raviformative Thanks for the feedback, in terms of AMA... that would have to be implemented when the site is pretty solid all round. (core product + other features)

@aaronkazah agree - you can use some plugins like disquss while you develop the core tech #lean. I have a failed startup story to share
