Why Startups Fail? is a visual data story built from the real post-mortems of 483 failed startups spanning from 1992 to 2024, using data originally compiled by CB Insights. This eBook doesnโt just list reasonsโit tells the deeper story behind each collapse.
Through simple visuals and accessible insights, it explores:
- Why funding doesnโt guarantee survival
- How long startups typically survive before collapsing
- The most common reasons founders cite for failure
- Sector-specific failure patterns (tech vs healthcare vs finance)
- Outliers that raised millionsโand still failed fast
- The hidden co-occurrence of risks that compound startup death
Itโs designed for founders, students, investors, and curious minds who want to learn from the ashesโnot just the success stories.
