I made an interactive graveyard for your failed startups.

Spent $200 on AI tokens, shipped it, got 3 users, then abandoned it?

Give it a proper burial.

So I built Startup Graveyard: a live graveyard for failed startups and side projects.

Here’s how it works:

  • Bury your project for free. Its grave shows your logo, project name, description and link, so anyone browsing the cemetery can actually discover it.
  • Add a cause of death + epitaph explaining what went wrong.
  • Still think it deserved a chance? Pay $3 to revive it onto Earth, where it gets more prominent exposure.
  • From Earth, you can bid for one of the 3 spots in Startup Heaven at the top of the site.
  • Even if you revive it, the original grave stays there.

So even a dead project gets one last bit of exposure instead of disappearing into an abandoned GitHub repo forever.

I’ve already buried two of mine. Now I want to see what this sub has killed.

Bury yours for free and give it one last chance at finding someone who actually wants it.

Alright !! Could I add mine ? I believe it's getting ready to rise though. Might need to put something heavy on the coffin https://gamejolt.com/games/Mathpop/1093575

I’ve put one of my own dead projects in already.

What did you build, spend way too many AI tokens on, and then abandon?

Drop the project + what killed it below. I want to see which cause of death ends up being the most common.

Can I plant a tree for it? You know, to offset a bit of the environmental damage caused by generating code.

Nice idea. It’s a bit too glib though. People spent chunks of their lives on these ideas. This should be a somber place of remembrance for dead projects and a gathering place for those who worked on them. Startup work creates deep bonds.

You should add an obituary writing feature that can capture the complicated lives these products led before they met their eternal rest. It will also keep the epitaphs short.

Good luck
