Top 20 Reasons Startups Fail
The 160 biggest product failures of all time
In this failure review, we scoured our database to find the best-funded start-ups that ultimately failed or experienced an unwanted exit, such as an asset sale or acquisition for less than total funding. raised by the company.
As you will see below, the reasons for failure are varied. But a few commonalities emerge, such as an inability to generate sustainable revenue, poor product-market fit, losses to competitors and (of course) just plain out of money.
Want to know THE TOP 20 REASONS STARTUPS FAIL?
We've analyzed 101 failed startups to bring you the reasons startups fail. Download the full 25-page report.

autopsies
