Comment on How startups should die

Comments

I wrote like 10 topic sentences for comments about shutting down a company and then just erased them, because what a horrible set of memories that topic brings out. I like reading about failure from Jason because he's had a win and is on his way to another, so he can talk about it with a pretty even mind. Personally, I've only got like 10% of a kind-of-win since shutting my first company down, and it still makes me absolutely ill.

Jason (OP) here.

Yep, know that feeling. Well.

Would love to have you over to the office to chat. Ping me offline. jason at 42floors

Seriously, no way would I pay a bill that the business owed when it was shutting down out of a personal credit card. It's the business, not you who is liable. Also, if you can pay on a credit card, you can pay the business on a payment plan and it will cost you a lot less.

The good thing about business is that you only need one win.
