Few elements of Silicon Valley’s culture are more cherished than its embrace of failure. Nobody looks askance at you for starting a company that doesn’t make it.

And yet failed startups tend to be forgotten the moment their doom is sealed. Aside from a few flops so epic they become legends—hello, Webvan and Humane—defunct businesses quickly st
