Startups are built on dreams and drive, but the journey isn't always up and to the right. Sometimes pivoting, pausing, or even shutting down is a necessary part of building something great.
SimpleClosure was built to bring order and simplicity to an otherwise chaotic and archaic process. We're here to support founders through one of the hardest parts of their journey. We know what it's like — we couldn't find the right solution, so we built it.
Entrepreneurs are the heartbeat of the economy. They take bold risks and pour everything into bringing ideas to reality. I'm inspired every day by the founders we meet, most of whom are already onto building their next big thing with unstoppable determination. Resilience isn’t just bouncing back — it’s about bouncing forward; your resilience fuels the innovation ecosystem, and we're honored to be part of your journey.
As the startup ecosystem evolves, one thing is clear: more companies are navigating complex decisions about their future. Yet, the infrastructure to support those transitions hasn't kept pace with the rest of the innovation economy. Our mission at SimpleClosure remains as simple as can be: to become the easiest and most trustworthy way to shut down a company.
Today, I am humbled to share that we've raised a $15 million Series A, led by TTV Capital, with participation from all of our returning investors, which include Infinity Ventures, Anthemis, Foxe Capital, Vera Equity, and joined by new investors The LegalTech Fund, and Carta. This achievement belongs to all of us — to our team, our investors, and most importantly, to the 1,500 + founders who trusted us during pivotal moments.
Between rising interest rates, renewed tariffs, and a higher cost of capital, founders today are facing real pressure. Startups are also grappling with valuation resets after raising at peak valuations during recent boom years. The need for what we are building has never been greater. In this challenging economic climate, we're doubling down on our commitment to provide founders with a streamlined, dignified path forward when they need it most. We are here to support this moment and all that's to come in front of us.
What's Next
This new capital allows us to double down on our mission:
Expand our platform with new product integrations and features
Scale to serve even more founders across more sectors and sizes
Continue building technology that brings confidence and closure to one of the hardest parts of entrepreneurship, and making it as simple as possible
Shutdowns are not just operational challenges, they are emotional and financial ones, too. They are part of the real story of entrepreneurship, and they deserve the same care, infrastructure, and support that the rest of the startup journey gets. We're building that space, making closures as seamless as beginnings.
To every builder, dreamer, and founder out there navigating uncertainty with courage — we salute you. To every founder that has trusted us: thank you. You are our inspiration and motivation. For those building, dreaming, or figuring out their next move, we're here for you.
Companies are only as good as the people that shape them. A huge shoutout to our incredible team that is dedicated to creating a category defining company and bringing both awareness and a solution to the world of shutting down. Your determination, ethics, care and drive is what makes SimpleClosure who we are. Nothing would be possible without you — and we’re just getting started!
Here's to moving forward with dignity, and with momentum.
