Closed IoT Companies and Devices

A directory of failed IoT Startups

Any new technological cycle is bound to have it’s growing pains, and this is doubly true for the variety of interlocking innovations and systems that make up the Internet of Things. Visions of the IoT are grand in scope, leading to wild excesses of hype and inflated expectations for the rapid onset of a smarter, more interconnected world.

The reality is more gritty and complicated than these grand pronouncements would make it seem—and for every world-changing innovation, there are dozens of ways for IoT technologies and systems to fail or backfire unexpectedly.

This page is where we’ll collect stories and examples of the glitches, flaws and failure points that will inevitably crop up in IoT technologies.

Our intent isn’t to shame or alienate the companies involved, but to provide a resource where others can get an idea of what can go wrong, find examples of how those situations have been handled, and discover what works and what hasn’t in the IoT’s evolution.
