Built this in under an hour with @perplexity_ai:
It's a complete database of 449 Y Combinator startup failures — the YC Graveyard.
Each startup has:
→ Why they failed
→ How much funding was lost
→ How long they survived
→ And whether someone else later came along and built the same idea better
Turns out 133 of these "failed" startups were just too early.
The idea lived on, just under a different name.
Kiko → Google Calendar
Justin .tv → Twitch
Posterous → Substack
Socialcam → TikTok
The research, data, charts, UI, and deployment were all done by Perplexity Computer.
