A while ago, we discussed startup failures. There is a great article on
Bloomberg
(http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-06-10/learning-lessons-from-failures-of-tech-startups)
and a site that helps our students understand why startups fail when
they do. The site is appropriately called Autopsy, and you can find it
here
http://autopsy.io/
One of the founders says: “Most startups fail -- everyone accepts that,
but you never really hear about them -- so the focus is on learning from
other startup mistakes. It would be great if Autopsy became the place
founders came to share their stories and I would hope it would prevent
others from making the same mistakes.”
I have used it in the classroom with great success.
