In Memoriam: The Companies That Didn't Make It
Here lie the dot-coms that burned through their VC money and left nothing but 404 errors.
R.I.P.
Gone but not forgotten. May their sock puppets rest in peace.

In Memoriam: The Companies That Didn't Make It
Here lie the dot-coms that burned through their VC money and left nothing but 404 errors.
| Company | Peak Valuation | Cause of Death |
| Pets.com | $300M | Shipping 30lb bags of dog food for free. Spent $11.8M on a Super Bowl ad. |
| Webvan | $1.2B | Built $1B in warehouses before proving anyone wanted grocery delivery. |
| Boo.com | $390M | Fashion e-commerce site that took 8+ seconds to load on dial-up. |
| Kozmo.com | $280M | Free 1-hour delivery of $5 items. The math never worked. |
| eToys.com | $8B | Worth more than Toys R Us at peak. Couldn't ship orders on time for Christmas '99. |
R.I.P.
Gone but not forgotten. May their sock puppets rest in peace.
