17 years after founding a startup that didn't quite set the world on fire, last fall I made the decision to shut down my company.
The experience held surprises, both good and bad, and I'll share them in this session along with my views on corporate end-of-life planning, serving customers in a bad situation, the role of venture capital, and when to think about starting the next venture.
This is the unsexy side of being a founder, and the things you want to know before you launch your first business.
