Comment on Ask HN: I'm 38 and I have just left my last startup. What should I do next?parent

Poorly.

What kind of position can I aim at? What kind of companies are interested in failed founders with plenty experience otherwise?

What kind of companies are interested in failed founders

Nobody really cares that your startup failed. Would you care if a dev with the necessary skills for the role had a failed startup at one point in their career?

I would drop "failed" from your vocabulary and change it to something like "we ran out of runway" if anyone even brings it up.
