Startups Embeddable Widgets Showcase Founders Portfolio Storytelling Career

Aperçu

Startup Archive is a tool for founders to preserve and showcase past ventures that didn't make it to market. Instead of letting a closed project disappear, you can capture its key elements—product visuals, story, metrics, and lessons learned—as a structured, interactive snapshot. Each archive is embeddable, making it easy to feature on personal portfolios, resumes, or about pages. The format helps founders demonstrate experience, technical work, and growth from setbacks when applying for jobs, raising future rounds, or networking with other builders.

Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: shareable public archive links and embeddable format fits portfolios and personal sites. Where it lags: value depends on how much context you can recover. On balance the feature set — especially shareable public archive links — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.

Skeptical, then convinced

I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on shareable public archive links, and preserves work that would otherwise be lost caught me off guard. Limited utility for active or ongoing startups is why this isn't a perfect score, still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.

Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Shareable public archive links is exactly what I needed, and embeddable format fits portfolios and personal sites. but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.
