When EventVue failed we wrote a post-mortem about what went wrong. If you're interested, you can read about it here: http://blog.eventvue.com/post/372936164/post-mortem http://blog.eventvue.com/post/372936164/post-mortem One of the benefits of having an open-casket funeral for your startup like we did is people know you are available for a new gig. After we announced the news, our phones started ringing from friends, users and former competitors giving their condolences. We also got calls from companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter and a few dozen startups wondering if we'd be interested in new positions. For us, our "worst case scenario" of completely failing had come true and that's when we discovered even the "worse case scenario" is not that bad. My cofounder took another job. I started contracting. Both of us are making considerable more money than if we'd never tried with EventVue. I know we're both going to be back in the startup game before long.
- chintan 16y agoIts great to hear an update from you! Your post-mortem blog was/is a great resource for all of us (in the startup world). I think sharing such detailed lessons is very valuable. I'm personally keeping a log of my startup's strategies/successes/failures and hope to make it public someday. Best wishes for your next endeavor!!
