Wasn't there one of these that turned into a service that then failed itself some time ago? I don't keep track but I seem to remember it from the past two years. In any case, great domain name, haha.
Yeah I think it was a service for closing up your startup, emailing your customers and displaying a nice "we're gone now" message.

Re: Show HN: Dead Yet? – Keep an eye on dying startups
#34This reminds me of an idea I had in mind a while ago. It would've been similar to this (like some kind of "Startup Graveyard") but slightly more extensive: interviews with the founders and the lessons they learned from it, what "type" of failure they suffered from (misinterpreting the market, lack of skills, etc). I ultimately gave up on the idea because none of the founders I contacted wanted to truly spill the bean…
sorry this is like an olympic sports reporter tracking down whoever came last in each event to ask, "what happened?"
Meh. I'll stick to reading what the winners have to say - or those still actively competing with them.

#35Who is asking "Is that company dead yet? It should've never been created in the first place."
If you want to check a company's status, just go to the website. This seems like a cynical tool.

#36Has none of the charm of FuckedCompany. That was a great web site and really captured the mood back then.

You think the site hosted at "deadyet.lol" might be cynical?

There is economic value in risk management.

#39Would be great to have a "half of fame" for this to see what startups people are expecting to die.
