Failed AI Startups of 2025 (So Far)
How we chose this list
1. Builder.ai – A unicorn that ran out of trust and runway
What went wrong
Lesson for founders
2. Humane – $241M, huge buzz, and a consumer AI device that didn’t work
What went wrong
Lesson for founders
3. Noogata – Enterprise AI that never scaled beyond pilots
What went wrong
Lesson for founders
4. Locale.ai – A quiet, principled shutdown driven by burnout
What went wrong
Lesson for founders
5. Subtl.ai – Strong RAG tech, scattered focus, and no repeatable motion
What went wrong
Lesson for founders
6. Tune AI – An “all-in-one” GenAI platform in a market full of giants
What went wrong
Lesson for founders
7. Wuri – An “AI wrapper” without a defensible niche
What went wrong
Lesson for founders
8. CodeParrot – “Pivot hell” in the AI dev tools race
9. Astra – Co-founder misalignment meets enterprise friction
What went wrong
Lesson for founders
10. Yara AI – Shutting down on purpose for ethical reasons
Lesson for founders
The patterns behind 2025’s AI shutdowns
1. Product-market fit stayed shallow
2. Big rounds hid big problems
3. Competing with platforms is a losing game (without a wedge)
4. Enterprise AI is slow, and the runway is short
5. Ethics and safety are becoming real stop signs
