SimpleClosure
SimpleClosure runs a tech-enabled platform that manages the end-to-end wind-down of companies, covering dissolution, tax filings and asset monetisation for founders and investors.
SimpleClosure is a business dissolution platform that helps founders and business owners shut down their companies through a tech-enabled, end-to-end wind-down process. Its Dissolution Platform, described as the "TurboTax of shutting down", manages entity dissolution, state withdrawals, final tax filings and payroll closure. The process is backed by dissolution experts, lawyers and accountants who handle legal filings, tax compliance and stakeholder coordination. The company has completed over 6,000 company closures and distributed more than $201m back to investors.
The product work spans legal tech, tax compliance automation, document management, workflow automation for entity dissolution and asset monetization. A second product, Asset Hub, helps founders monetise residual assets such as codebases, documents and intellectual property. The company's stated market context is that 93% of startups that raise venture funding eventually shut down.
SimpleClosure positions itself as the shutdown standard for founders and investors. Its approach is rooted in founder empathy: CEO Dori Yona started the company after his own frustrating experience closing a business, and the firm emphasises clarity and structure during a difficult process, along with responsibility and thoroughness in each wind-down. It was named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2025 and has been featured in Forbes, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal and Fast Company.
Customers include startups, small businesses and venture-backed companies, with the work sitting at the intersection of legal services and accounting and tax compliance.
