failed_startup.for_sale
Failed startup for sale — the honest kind
Every listing tells you when the company died and what killed it. Bad market, bad timing, bad co-founder, no PMF — the eulogy is part of the pitch. You're the salvage crew, not the sucker.
$ cause_of_death_included
Each listing publishes when the company shut down and why. No pretending everything was fine until yesterday.
$ prior_funding_disclosed
See what was raised (Series A, seed, bootstrap) so you can price the salvage against the sunk cost.
$ no_ghost_metrics
We don't quote ARR on dead companies. Numbers you see are historical peaks with dates attached.
$ buy_the_lesson_too
The postmortem often ships with the code. Learn from the founder's mistakes without having to make them yourself.
Frequently asked
Why would I buy a failed startup?
The failure is usually about distribution, team, or timing — the code and infra often still work. Salvage that; skip the mistakes.
Can I revive the brand?
Depends. Some listings include the domain and trademarks; some don't. Check the assets tag on each listing.
What if the founder wants back in?
The APA is a clean transfer. Once signed, the seller has no operational stake or claim on the assets.
