Hey Product Hunt! π
I built Startup Graveyard because I believe we learn more from failure than success β and the startup world has a lot of failures to learn from.
This is a 3D interactive graveyard where each tombstone represents a real startup that died. You literally walk through the graveyard using your keyboard, and click on any grave to read the full story β who built it, how much money they raised, and what ultimately killed them.
Some spooky stats:
πͺ¦ 500+ dead startups memorialized
π₯ $35B+ in total funding burned
π Causes of death range from "pivoted to death" to "the market simply didn't exist"
I built this in a day using Next.js + Three.js with a full gothic theme β stars, moon, fog, ghost particles, and lightning flashes. Because if we're going to mourn dead startups, we might as well do it with atmosphere.
What I'd love from you:
Walk through the graveyard and tell me which dead startup surprised you most
Know a dead startup that's missing? Drop it in the comments
Is your own startup in here? π My condolences.
Rest in peace to all the ventures that dared to dream. β°οΈ
