A little over two years ago I started a company with a
co-founder, gave notice at my then-job, and jumped into being an
entrepreneur with both feet. However, eight months into the
venture, for a variety of reasons - some of which were out of my
control - I decided to part ways with the company I had helped
create. Like every failure, there were consequences.
First, there was the painful reality that I failed. Following
that was the embarrassment. I confidently announced I was going to
do something, and it didn't happen.
To make matters worse, we had an employee and investors. We had
gained some traction in a short period of time and had to formally
liquidate the company. Even now I continue to have conversations
about what happened and why.
