About
At Autopsy, a data and analytics startup based in London with a focus on analysing trends in startup failure, we believe there to be intrinsic value in learning from our predecessors. Understanding why companies have failed with indicators that can be derived from these analyses ultimately helps existing and future startups to avoid common pitfalls in their industries. At the same time, it gives investors an additional dataset to help them make data-driven investment decisions.
