The Ten Biggest Dot Com Flops
August 7th, 2005 • Related • Filed Under
CNET have compiled a list of the top 10 .com flops. Seeing this list brought back a lot of memories of crazy valuations and seeing paper fortunes disappear (sob!).
At number 1 we have webvan.com who raised and squandered $375m within 18 months, which is pretty good going when you think about it.
Even Mike Tyson doesn’t spend cash that fast!
The full list was:
- Webvan
- Pets.com
- Kozmo
- Floot
- eToys. I was very sad when these guys went under - one of best partners-although I guess that’s why they went under as they were paying so much lol
- Boo.com Very strange operation and very hard to deal with
- MVP.com
- Go.com
- Kibu.com
- GovWorks.com

Hm. How much did govworks.com waste? It was just a plain bad idea. Governments are by definition slow and stupid.
It might be unfair to govworks since they were in the startup.com movie.
