When a startup goes out of business, it’s typically a line item in a newsletter like Term Sheet about how much capital it had raised and from whom.
That’s exactly what happened when we reported last week that Munchery had officially ceased operations.

Investors included Menlo Ventures, Sherpa Capital, Greycroft, and e.ventures.
But to a small business owner like Lenore Estrada, the startup’s shutdown is more than just a line item — it’s payroll.
