Since the project's inception in 2015, Autopsy has amassed a dataset of up to 2000 failed companies across web2 software startups and scaleups located predominately in Western markets with a subset of the dataset covering the MENA region. The project has been featured across major publications such as TNW, Business Insider, and Wall Street Journal with research reports analysing company failure and predictable pitfalls catered towards entrepreneurs, investors and researchers.

Autopsy exists to debunk and pull the opaque cloak on the tech startup and venture capital ecosystem, to bring attention to the over-glamorisation of being a tech founder in an industry that has gated its learnings that can help emerging builders and company valuations led by VCs as a game to control the market narrative.

In line with the recent launch of the Autopsy Paragraph publication, we will be sharing content coverage on the performance and demise of web3 protocols and companies to serve as an archive of openly accessible learnings for an early market on the rise.
