Any founders who went back to 9-5 jobs?

Are there any examples of early startup founders who failed in their startup idea and then went back to regular jobs?

The point of this question is not to insult rather than to understand a different perspective of a founder’s mindset. We hear all sorts of success stories but we never get to hear the failed stories and what happened to the people who built those companies.

Kinda like in “Silicon Valley” TV show how the younger generation quickly forgot about Pied Piper.

Kuku FM and Pocket FM are strange rivals cropping up in the exact same field at the exact same time, it's kinda weird... Initially, I thought Kuku was a knock off of Pocket
