I joined a business someone started, personally invested $200k, and forwent income for a year. This is after leaving a prestigious finance job after 5-6 years in the industry and quitting a senior role at a Fintech.
Company’s sales is flat, and it’s running out of money. If this doesn’t work out, I’m a guy who quit the previous start-up (not doing very well rn) after 1 year, blew money, and joined another one that’s also not doing well.
I feel like I’m not employable and that maybe my judgment is poor. Has anyone experienced or gone through this?
Given the amount of capital invested, unless they have multiple investment streams take control of what you can and if it’s a loss leader drop it before you lose more. As long as you have a story and have worked hard despite circumstances you are employable and a lot of employers love entrepreneurial spirit if you plan to work for someone again.
