Take the history with you.

When a venture graduates into its own company, it shouldn't lose its documents, financial history, ownership, or account relationships.

Close the experiments that don't work without losing the record.

Archive a venture and keep its numbers. When a whole company needs to close, follow a step-by-step checklist for its state.
