FailEdge was created from a simple observation: most startup advice focuses only on success stories. Yet in reality, the majority of startups fail. Hidden inside those failures are some of the most valuable lessons founders can learn.
While researching business ideas, we noticed that founders often spend months building products before discovering that similar ideas had already failed. These lessons were scattered across blog posts, shutdown announcements, interviews, and forgotten forum threads.
FailEdge was built to solve this problem. Our mission is to collect, analyze, and organize real startup failure stories into actionable insights that founders can use before investing time, money, and energy into a business idea.
We believe failure should not be wasted. Every failed startup contains valuable knowledge about markets, business models, customer behavior, and strategy. Our mission is to turn those lessons into structured insights that help entrepreneurs make smarter decisions.
Our long-term vision is to build the world’s largest database of startup failures, helping founders validate ideas faster and avoid predictable mistakes. By learning from thousands of failed startups, entrepreneurs can increase their chances of building something that truly works.
