Starcycle

Starcycle is an AI-powered platform that helps founders plan and execute company shutdowns faster, with fewer errors and less manual work. It centralizes the complex operational, financial, and legal tasks involved in winding down a startup, turning a traditionally opaque process into a structured, trackable workflow. The primary purpose of Starcycle is to reduce the time, confusion, and risk associated with shutting down a company, while ensuring stakeholders are informed and obligations are met.

The platform provides step-by-step guidance tailored to company type, jurisdiction, and capitalization structure, helping founders understand what needs to happen, in what order, and why. It can assist with generating task lists for legal dissolution, notifying investors and employees, organizing documentation, and tracking progress against key deadlines. Starcycle also supports data collection and consolidation, such as summarizing outstanding liabilities, remaining assets, and cap table details, so that founders can make informed decisions about distributions and final payments. Built-in templates and structured workflows reduce reliance on ad hoc spreadsheets and email threads, lowering the risk of missed steps or inconsistent communication.
