More startups shut down in 2024 than the year prior, with Carta reporting a 25.6% increase in closures and AngelList noting a 56.2% jump, largely attributed to the overfunding of companies in 2020 and 2021. Many startups faced unsustainable burn rates, inflated valuations, and a lack of product-market fit, leaving them unable to secure further funding amidst rising interest rates and tighter venture capital markets.

Experts predict 2025 will continue to see high shutdown rates as companies grapple with the fallout from the funding frenzy.
