The Deadpool

What happened to companies that raised private capital, from public records. Shutdowns and acquisitions are listed only with the evidence behind them.

Exits, not failures. Each acquisition is backed by a public record, such as an SEC change-in-control filing or the acquirer's filing announcing the completed deal.
