Ask HN: Is there a list available of startups that will be shut down?

3 points by Irongirl1 10 months ago | 2 comments
I am looking for a list of possibles. Start-ups that didn't IPO and don't contain "AI" as either part of their business plan or added to it later. And if so, where would I look for potentials? Are their teams that want to stay with their start-ups, but fear being shut down and where do I find them? If I'm asking the wrong question, then please point out how I may acquire the info I seek...

    Every single company I've seen was reporting all green trends right until the moment they shut down. Maybe a half-hearted "it is slower than quarter x, but we do very well". No-one will give you this C-level info on HN. You have to network really well to know these in advance

      I get that, but surely someone can point me in a direction other than networking. I'm an introvert...I don't do networking. How can sunsetting all these companies be good for the Valley? The closure rate is 80+% and we need tech jobs, surely a win, even if it's not 10x is better than another loss.
