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? Share more...

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

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.

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.

Dude you raised $2mn+ that in itself says you have the talent, stop saying you dont have skills
