SimpleClosure

Exciting news! SimpleClosure has been named to @Inc's 2026 #PowerPartnerAwards list! We're proud to be recognized for our work setting a new standard for how companies shut down, helping founders close cleanly and move forward to what's next. See the full list here: inc.com/power-partner-awards

We launched a brand campaign to capture this exact motion some founders face. youtu.be/i7ABRipuGEU?is=vZVz…

Another great Law in the Age of AI panel, this time at LA @Techweek_! Building on last week’s SF panel, we continued the conversation on how AI is reshaping the legal industry, what it means for founders, and where human judgment still matters. Thanks to @Carta for joining us to bring this discussion to #LAtechweek. 🤝

Second-time founders know a thing or two about building a company. We're putting them in the spotlight at Second-Time Founder Demo Day, where serial entrepreneurs are taking the stage to pitch their next ventures to a room full of investors. Happening now at #LATechWeek by @Techweek_! Brought to you by SimpleClosure, @NerdstageHQ, @VC_Match, @cartainc, @CooleyLLP, @beige_media, and @getBevi.

Selling company data is arguably the hottest topic in the startup space right now. Our panel on What Your Company Data is Worth at @Techweek_ starting now #sftechweek

We're live at The Founder Reset for SF @Techweek_ ! Spending the day at The Melody with Unicorner, Deck, and @descopeinc talking about lessons learned from building a second time, what company data is worth, and what it takes to build something big. More to come from today's conversations!

Big news: SimpleClosure is partnering with @Intuit. QuickBooks Workforce customers will now have access to SimpleClosure when they stop payroll, making it easier to properly close their state payroll tax accounts and, when needed, their business entirely. We’ve already helped thousands of businesses close roughly 14,000 payroll tax accounts. Now, alongside Intuit, we’ll be able to bring that experience to even more business owners. We’re incredibly excited for this next chapter and proud to be an Intuit partner.

Not-so-breaking news: we’ve been doing this for a while. As a leading startup dissolution advisor, we’re building AssetHub, a fast-growing marketplace connecting AI labs with real-world data and code from companies that have actually operated. Sounds like we should talk, @elonmusk @spacexai

There are a lot of parts of being a founder that nobody gives you a playbook for. So we’re teaming up with Founders House on a new series to have the conversations founders don’t always get to have. We’re kicking things off on September 23 with "Nobody told me… how to pivot", a conversation about what to do when the original plan isn’t working. Do you keep pushing? Pivot? Explore an acquisition? Or start thinking about winding down? We’ll be joined by John Paasonen from Maxwell, Adam Roberts from Lifted. vc, and Olivia O'Sullivan from Forum Ventures to talk through the signals founders should actually be paying attention to when deciding what comes next. SimpleClosure’s Carina Oriel will moderate the conversation, and we’ll put our panelists to the test with some real, anonymized startup scenarios at the end 👀 Mark your calendars: Wednesday, September 23 at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT. RSVP at the link in the comments below.

Starting up has a standard. Shutting down should too. Three years ago, we built SimpleClosure to close that gap. Since then, we’ve supported 6,000+ companies with the structure and rigor this moment deserves. Today, we’re reintroducing how we show up—both visually and categorically. Introducing: The shutdown standard. See it in action here: simpleclosure.com/

Today we introduced the SimpleReset, a matcha latte created as a small reminder for founders to pause before the next push. Now, we’re bringing that idea to life. 🧘‍♀️ On June 11, we are hosting a drop-in wellness pop-up at @UseCorgi Cafe in San Francisco for founders, builders, operators, creatives, and anyone preparing for a big moment. Building a company can be exhilarating, exhausting, and all-consuming. We wanted to create a space where people can step away from the pressure for a moment, recharge, and get grounded. Come by for the SimpleReset, plus sound healing, tarot readings, 10-minute chair massages, founder clarity sessions, and a headphone meditation bar. Whether you’re gearing up for YC Demo Day, building toward something new, or just need a reset, we’d love to see you there. - June 11 - 1–4:30pm - Corgi Cafe Link to RSVP: luma.com/h4ls0xqf

We spend a lot of time helping people close one chapter and begin the next. So we made a drink for that moment in between. Introducing SimpleReset. SimpleClosure's drink, now at the @UseCorgi Cafe in San Francisco. It's a small thing. A deliberate pause. A clear head before whatever comes next. If you're in SF, come try it. And if you've ever closed something —a company, a chapter, a career—you'll know exactly what this drink is for.

We’re full swing at @Techweek_ in New York this week, LED truck and all. Be on the lookout for it and let us know if you see them in the thread 👀

NY Tech Week is just two weeks away! Here's where you'll find us during @Techweek_ : The Retro | Tuesday, June 2 @ 5:00-8:00 PM A cocktail and light appetizer experience surrounded by artifacts from companies that didn't make it. Come enjoy custom cocktails, curated displays, and a conversation about the full lifecycle of building—including closure. Raise a glass to what didn't make it, and what comes next. Law In The Age of AI | Thursday, June 4 @ 8:30-10:30 AM Join us for a panel discussion on how AI is reshaping the legal industry for both startups and established firms. Featuring @doriyona from SimpleClosure, Jesse Carey from @stripe, Samuel Garcia from @amplovc, and Jeff Loretto from @CooleyLLP. Co-hosted by Carta and Primary Venture Partners.

5:16 PM - Clawdbot: "No money in the bank left over. Need to shut down LLCKiller LLC." 5:17 PM - Clawdbot: "Searching for dissolution services..." 5:18 PM - Clawdbot: "Found @SimpleClosure. They seem nice. Initiating shutdown." 5:19 PM - Clawdbot: "Wait. What if we built a competitor to SimpleClosure?" 5:19 PM - "NO"

Today, we set aside dissolutions, legal filings, and compliance checks to face the truly scary things: bad costumes and low-resolution Google Meet backgrounds. Happy Halloween from the SimpleClosure team!
