having startup experience on your resume is usually a good thing, even if the startup failed.
Yes and no. I've got crap given to me for having "co-founder" on my resume because they thought I was just biding my time until I could restart my company.[1]
Meanwhile, having relocated since college, the network in my geographical area is small.
[1] If you want to say "well you dodged a bullet," great, thanks, but given all the stupid things so many employers do while hiring, I'd rather have a job than the satisfaction of knowing that they made a mistake by not hiring me. I can't eat satisfaction.
