OK, so in practice, what happens if the company can't raise a round? Do they just return what they can to the fund and close up the doors?

The note stays outstanding. Generally speaking, there's no good reason for the investor to want to convert into equity, as debt is better in a bankruptcy situation.

Some companies might return money to investors before shutting down.
