Introduction

Startup companies have become part of our global culture and companies like Uber and AirBnb have become verbs in our day-to-day vernacular. Failed startup companies on the other hand, often disappear without a trace. Data on these "failures" is an opportunity for newly formed companies to avoid the mistakes that lead to a downfall, but this data is often unavailable or scattered throughout the internet. This project is a collection and analysis of this information to create a resource for entrepreneurs to avoid making similar mistakes as failed start-ups.
