Or is there some reason to not admit a startup has failed?

Maybe the bankruptcy proceedings aren't yet through. A bunch of the MetaMed people are still listed as MetaMed on their LinkedIn accounts.

Interesting idea. Could you explain why that would make them wary about disclosure? Maybe they're trying to sell the brand?

I don't have concrete information about the state of MetaMed that goes beyond publically available information.

Yeah, sorry, I meant 'do you know why startups in general would be shy about disclosing their closing?'

Bankruptcy proceedings aren't yet through. The employees haven't yet moved on to new jobs.

The time to a post-mortem is after those things.
