I think this is tough for both sides.

I work with early stage companies, and those companies don't always exist a year. I've also worked with companies (for multiple years) that were bought & sold a few times, so two employment stints can easily look like five.

You can make it clear on your own resume that corporate changes differ from changes in your role.

You're not necessarily at fault for that, but being part of multiple failed businesses would probably not earn you any bonus points.
