There are infinite number of ways to fail a startup but in my experience, there is only one way to recover which is similar to getting up after a fall from riding a bike. You must first decide if you want to ride again. In another words, you must first make a binary decision, which is whether or not you want to try again. If you believe that being a successful entrepreneur is in your destiny, then there is no point of crying in the dirt (or even writing a post-mortem). But on the other hand, if you believe that you have had enough and don’t want to be an entrepreneur again, then you can do whatever you want and heck with what other people think. Either way entrepreneurship is a lonely business. Good luck, everyone.
