Startups that announced a shutdown

In Q4 2026 (to 8 November 2026), no qualifying changes were recorded among 1,797 startups with at least two captures. This does not mean no changes happened. These are observations in the archive, not a market-wide rate. Coverage differs by quarter.

What counts

The homepage says the company has shut down, is winding down or has closed. The company's statement is quoted; its observation date is not necessarily the closure date. A change counts in a quarter only when both checks it lies between fall in that quarter; the share is out of the startups with at least two visible captures in that quarter. Two captures do not guarantee a usable comparison, and observation frequency varies. Method.

13 observations cannot be allocated to a quarter. Inspect their date ranges. Zero counted changes does not establish that nothing changed.

13 observations across all dates. Showing 1–13.

Dated less precisely

These changes happened between two checks in different quarters, or were already showing at the first check, so they are not counted in any quarter above.
