Failure and inventions are inseparable twins.

Jeff Bezos

Startups try to innovate, to invent and that’s the reason their chances of failure are higher. And, there is nothing bad about that. In fact, most of the startup founders that fail with their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd ventures; succeed with the 4th one and that’s what startups are.

I have compiled a list of failed startups along with the:

  • description of what they were offering
  • founded date
  • where they are located, and
  • the reason why they failed
