93% of startups fail. But what happens next? Our team at SimpleClosure analyzed hundreds of startup shutdowns to understand the real story behind the statistics. Here’s what we found 👇 Key insights from our 2024 State of Startup Shutdowns report: • 74% never make it past seed stage • Nearly half of all shutdowns this year raised their last round in 2022 • 60% don't have capital to return to investors • Tech hubs see the highest concentration of failures The findings are sobering, but they’re also a peak into the realities of the startup ecosystem.

What a joy to spend the afternoon over tea with some of the most brilliant and thoughtful women in venture 🍵 We kicked things off with the question: “What’s something you’ve done that no one else in the room has likely done before?” From scaling companies to gracing the stage at Carnegie Hall, the answers were a beautiful reminder that women in this industry are doing it all, not just professionally, but personally too. There’s something powerful about creating space to slow down, connect and be present with one another. The energy in the room was generous, open and filled with care. Grateful to my incredible co-hosts Asya Bradley Elizabeth Davis Komal Kothari, MD Paige Honeycomb and to everyone who joined us at Laduree.

From legal filings to tax wraps, the platform automates and manages the shutdown process so founders can move on with clarity and confidence. In this episode, we dive into how SimpleClosure is transforming an often-ignored part of the founder journey, the power of productizing legal workflows, and why winding down with care is the next big unlock for founders and investors alike.

A perfect summer night in NYC with some of the most thoughtful folks in venture. My team and I at SimpleClosure brought together a small group of investors who support founders through it all, from first checks to the hard calls. We traded stories on deals that got away and shared ideas on how we can show up better for the founders in our communities. So grateful to everyone who joined us. Already looking forward to the next one. PS - comment if you want to join the next one!
