Maybe it's just me, but wouldn't you email your co-founders and have that discussion before you start closing down accounts and making the move completely permanent?
Perhaps one of them has an idea to cut costs, or would like to open source the code, or can line up a buyer for the assets, or ... something.
Telling your stakeholders/investors/cofounders after you've pulled the trigger seems like the exact backwards way to do it.
- ricardobeat 14y agoMy first thought too.
- dm8 14y agoMaybe co-founders had moved on earlier and he was giving his last shot alone?
- jabbernotty 14y agoI don't get why this one founder would be closing everything down on his own either, but then I didn't find any mention of co-founders or even co-workers in the story. He only mentioned that he didn't know how to ask for help. What kind of 'co-founders' were these co-founders?
- citricsquid 14y agoProbably arbitrary "I can't do it alone" co-founders. I don't know anything about the startup listed in the post but I see quite a few people on reddit asking for co-founders as if someone that doesn't really care about your startup but hangs around is better than focusing on it alone.
- underwater 14y agoI don't think he necessarily did it in the order that the article listed. He said "Harder than that" rather than "after that".
