What is Final Commit?
In the age of fast shipping and micro-SaaS, countless startups die post MVP — no spotlight, no closure, just a domain left behind. Final Commit is a digital graveyard for those projects: a space to honor the build, share the journey, and be remembered.
Problem
Users face the lack of a dedicated platform to document and memorialize failed startups, resulting in vanished history, lessons, and closure for founders.
Solution
A dedicated memorial platform where users can create profiles for failed startups, share post-mortems, and archive their journey. Examples: Display startup timelines, failure reasons, and lessons learned.
Customers
Startup founders, indie hackers, and micro-SaaS builders with failed ventures seeking closure, networking, or knowledge-sharing.
Unique Features
Focuses exclusively on honoring failed projects (unlike success-focused platforms) and provides a structured template for post-mortem storytelling.
