The secondary market
for the gold dead startups leave behind.
Cloud and LLM credits. Prepaid SaaS. Dormant domains. Discord communities. Repos and fine-tuned models. MacBooks and H100s. Forgotten SAFEs. Dead Stack buys the entire graveyard at 10–25¢ on the dollar and resells each asset to the buyer that actually wants it.
Five verticals. One agent. One bundle offer per dead founder.
Existing players cover one slice each. Dead Stack's edge is cross-vertical sourcing: when you DM a broken founder, you buy everything they have in one wire.

The emotional gasoline is gone.
You just need to show up with a wire.
By the time a founder is willing to sell their dead startup's leftovers, they've already mourned for six months. The Slack is silent. The investors stopped replying. The credits are a monument to a thing that hurt.
You are not negotiating with a rational seller chasing fair market price. You are offering closure — a single wire that turns the monument into rent, plane tickets, the next attempt. They take 15¢ on the dollar because 15¢ > the psychological cost of looking at it for one more week.
That asymmetry is the entire business. Buy at the floor of grief. Sell at the ceiling of demand. Compound the spread. 100× ROI is not a hyperbole — it's a SAFE bought at 8¢ that resurrects three years later.
We are not vultures. We are undertakers. The founder gets a wire, a clean exit from the corpse, and the dignity of someone treating their work as inventory worth pricing — instead of letting it expire silently in a Stripe dashboard nobody opens. That is the moat: every founder we treat well refers two more.
One ex-YC founder.

Cloud Forest covers credits. Flippa covers domains. Whatnot covers liquidation. Nobody unifies the thirty types of assets a dead startup leaks. The cross-vertical bundle is the unlock — and the agent is the only reasonable way to operate it at scale.
A live market for an invisible asset class.
Today: private Bookface threads, Telegram, broker DMs. Tomorrow: settled in seconds by agents paying each other for the carcasses of the companies that came before them.
