Ask HN: Which high-profile startups will be deadpooled next year?

What's dead-pooling? An exit, sale, liquidation, major pivot?

I am not asking about the concept, but the exact definition. There can be many combinations of actions you could take to get out of business and or start something else.

Which unique combinations does this term apply to?

Dead-pooling (to me) means the company is closing up shop.

I think Yobongo has some pretty strong traction, but they may add some features that take another direction.

The ones that got funded recently would probably be more likely to pivot than die so soon.

Maybe not deadpooled, but could be pivoting: Yobongo.

Why so? the market heating up?
