To be honest, I don't know if my honesty will hurt me later on. I didn't want to sugar coat the reason. Startups don't die until founders quit. You always have a way to make it work if you want.
We had founder issues early on and we parted ways after we shut down the first product. I then led the company to ship second and third products as a solo founder. I could have quitted then but stuck on for another two years. I wasn't ashamed telling people the truth because I know I have given my best.

The lack of sugar coating is exactly what made this interesting reading.
