What "Dead" Means

We consider a company "dead" if it:

  • Shuts down operations
  • Gets acquired at a significant down-round (80%+ value loss)
  • Becomes irrelevant (no users, no revenue, pivoted entirely)
  • Gets absorbed into another company and brand disappears

Why This Exists

The AI industry is in a hype cycle. Billions are being invested in companies that may not survive. This tool is an experiment in collective intelligence - can the crowd identify which companies are truly building value vs. riding hype?

This is NOT:

  • Financial advice
  • A recommendation to short any stock
  • A definitive prediction

This IS:

  • A discussion platform
  • A thought experiment
  • A time capsule for the AI bubble era
