I was wandering if someone keeps records of failed tech/internet startups and their codebase?
Maybe it's not a bad idea to go back and re-use some of the failed startups whether it's a codebase or just a business model. I found a lot of reason for failed startups but not many use cases - mostly scattered around the Internet.
If someone would built such a database would you contribute your failed business model and codebase?
Many of them had significant users and revenue, but were mismanaged and failed.
I've often thought many of them could be successful today.
