SimpleClosure, a company based in Santa Monica, California, has recently secured $4 million in seed funding to further its mission of simplifying the process of shutting down businesses. The funding round was led by Infinity Ventures, with contributions from Anthemis Group, Foxe Capital, and existing investors.

Founded by CEO Dori Yona, SimpleClosure offers a platform that automates the bureaucratic and manual tasks involved in closing a company. By leveraging legal technology and artificial intelligence, the company aims to streamline the wind-down process, handling obligations with customers, state agencies, and team members on behalf of the dissolving business.

Since its public launch in September 2023, SimpleClosure has experienced rapid growth, surpassing seven figures in annualized revenue. The company has seen a 14-fold increase in revenue and a six-fold increase in its customer base. Its clientele ranges from bootstrapped businesses to well-funded startups.

Yona expressed his enthusiasm for the company’s progress, stating, “We are building something special. Ever since our launch in September, things have been moving at the speed of light.” He emphasized SimpleClosure’s commitment to supporting founders and entrepreneurs during the challenging process of shutting down their businesses.

With the additional funding, SimpleClosure plans to expand its team and enhance its product offerings. Yona highlighted the company’s dedication to providing a seamless experience for its customers, stating, “Our mission is simple: to become the easiest and most trustworthy way to shut down a company.”

Acknowledging the taboo surrounding founder’s “failure,” Yona expressed optimism about the future of the industry, noting an increase in conversations and solutions addressing the issue. He thanked SimpleClosure’s customers, partners, and team members for their support and dedication, emphasizing the importance of their contributions to the company’s success.

Looking ahead, Yona emphasized the vast potential of SimpleClosure’s market, stating, “This is a $0 market. The opportunity is so big and there is so much left to solve that it’s impossible to put a dollar figure on it.” He reassured stakeholders that SimpleClosure is just getting started, urging them to “watch this space” for future developments.
