Each week, 3 startups that shut down become the raw material for an original song — their failures, regrets, and hard lessons translated into music and lyrics.
Three companies closed this week. Rec Room — 150 million players, a $3.5B peak, and economics it could never escape. Opendoor India — 250 offshore workers replaced by AI-native teams in a single Wednesday post. Cuttles — a startup planning tool for founders, deleted by the AI tools it was teaching founders to use. One song for all three.
Three startups closed this week. One lost its drug to a regulatory shadow. One built AI for users who never came back. One cured something nobody could afford to buy. One song for all three.
