Is it this happens after a startup gets failed

As we hear all over the news that , x startup raised this much funding at so and so valuation , many startups acquire good customers , raise good amount of money , scale in a decent way , ofcourse not every startups becomes uniform but as the most of the founders' networth is bound to these startups in the form of equity so if the startup gets failed due to some reasons ,so founders also lose their net worth or they successfully make good amount of money by that time so they don't worry much

Please explain me this in a concise manner
