Failure if a badge of honor -- it means you contributed to the community.
Founders move on to get jobs as VCs or high-ranking executives at more stable companies. Employees lose their jobs and don't get any severance.
Yes, honorable.
- tsunamifury 13y agoMichael, I think your pragmatic perspective here is important, but I disagree. If you aren't prepared financially to play the startup game, you shouldn't. If you do play, you should be WELL AWARE of the risks associated. It is a game, you play for sport not survival.
