Documented cause
Mymoria built a transparent online funeral planning platform in Germany, allowing families to compare services and prices in a market notorious for opacity. The company raised €12M but found that grieving families still preferred local funeral directors over online comparison tools. Filed for insolvency in April 2023.
Lesson
“Deathtech startups need to either own the funeral director relationship or create pre-need planning products to avoid being seen as transactional at grief.”
