Ex founder looking for career advice
I am an ex founder, recently left my company. I don’t seem to have the courage to start again and don’t feel like have any skills . I’ve been consulting some startups on fundraise, should I try building an investment banking company ? I don’t know if that is what I want to do.
Why Investment Banking company?

Were you good at fundraising/have seen fundraising earlier?
In that case, sure, you'd be ideal to try an IB play.

I seem to naturally gravitate towards it. And have decent dealflow. I don’t know why it is frowned upon? Also heard stories of people not making any money for a long time

Founder to a fellow founder, it wasn't easy the last time, it isnt going to be easy now. I don't agree on the part that you don't have any skills, skills have made you a founder so hone them till perfection and find new inspiration.

Maybe my heart was not in the right place!
Dude you raised $2mn+ that in itself says you have the talent, stop saying you dont have skills

I'm in a similar situation. My startup's growth has become stagnant last 2 years and most of my work is delegated to new hires and interns. Dunno what to do next.
Used to do marketing but now bored of marketing.

Thinking of consulting but not sure.

Do whatever is coming to your mind right now, you can always course correct
Join a unicorn/soonicorn which values founder experience. Fundraising help to startup probably doesn’t pay more than 2L per startup successful raise at early stage.

I have this voice from within to do this. But my brain agrees with you. Hence the dilemma
