Startup craziness

Spent over 2 and a half years pivoting three times but couldn't save ourselves. Spent over 1 cr on a marketing agency , founders split up and one of them stopped taking part in the day to day affairs.

The startup has been at it since 7 years. Founder is still doesn't want to accept the known, so quit finally. Being in engineering even did support and marketing but we just ran of money. This has drained me and don't know what to do now?

Can't answer on what to do now. But can tell you what will happen 1 yr from now. You will have another start up. This time you will be carefull not to repeat the same mistakes. So probably your next start up will survive 2 years. In those 2 years if your startup clicks you will make it big enough. If not the same cycle will repeat this time the gap would be slightly more than the last. Starting up on your own is like a drug, once tasted, nothing else will be enough. The only way this cycle can be broken is when you have very strong personal commitments.
Welcome to the Matrix of the business world. You have been unplugged.

I love challenges - converting struggling businesses to successful ones. If there is an issue with funds also, I can arrange. Interested?

How are your 30s different than your 20s?

I just hit 30 and it feels... different. Not bad, just not what I expected. My 20s were a whirlwind of possibilities, but now I'm wondering if I'm supposed to have it all figured out. How are your 30s different from your 20s? What chang...

Rant or is it ?

Absolutely sad to see the state of the startups, most of them. I am a founder myself, and this is a post with equal disappointment with myself as much as it is for anyone else who relates. Look at all these companies that have raised s...
