    All these sites will help you out, especially the last 2 if you just want a quick archive reference.

    https://www.businessplanarchive.org/

    They have created a Business Plan Archive to collect business plans and related documents from the dot com era. These plans – the “blueprints” that lay out the assumptions and strategies of Internet entrepreneurs – will enable entrepreneurs and researchers to enable to conduct both qualitative and quantitative research.

    You need to register to view the information.

    You really link this next link, very cool and helpful: a flash movie devoted to monitoring dotcom layoffs and/or failures. It displays the brands of roughly 400 extinct Web sites. It is a really a blast from the past.

    Lastly, go to this next one and scroll to "Screeshot Collections 1998-2003". From A-Z, hundreds of failures with archived screen shots! Static version of it the one above.

    Hope this helps.
