Zombie Startup

VC funded companies that don't close their doors after funding runs out, but also does not grow significantly. They typically generate enough revenues to continue business, but the VC is unable to divest. As a result, the company tends to shed all of its brainpower and continues to operate as a brainless zombie for many years.

All of the engineering talent has left the company. What's left is a zombie startup that should continue to operate, but nobody's ever going to make money there.
