Take a glance down through the advice given so far, from "email me" to something involving firearms which sounds dangerous. Now take a deep breath. For starters, you are not a failure - two companies before age 29 is pretty impressive. You will probably never be happy as someone else's employee for long but that might be an idea for now - get the CV (resume) dusted down anyway. For me, having two other partners has worked out rather well - two against one, as required. That does mean that you need two other people who you trust completely. I suspect that you will do OK.
