You have many options. Joining another startup seems like an easy fix. If you want to go corporate why not join a bootcamp to level up your skills. General Assembly has a good product management program.
Everybody fails at many things multiple times in their lives. Just try to manage failure gracefully and get things in order before trying again.

I have an honest but blunt question: how enticing is the idea of hiring a non-tech founder of a startup that failed only two years in and at best raised only 500k in funding?
This is going to be very contextual. Hear me out; what if they had some revenue and were on the verge of default alive.
"I led the team to ramen profitability and we had to raise only $500K in our two year of survival. We grew from $10K MRR to $100K MRR in 16 months. Unfortunately, we missed the target for our next fundraising round.
I heard you are talking to Saint-Gobain (or insert some big MNC) and I have done similar studies in their cement sustainability approach. Do you wanna talk more and see if I can help you fill in some blanks."
Now, I would or any founder love to talk more with that person.
America is a victim of its own success. The market is so primed with sales, management and arbitrage opportunities that young minds are hard pressed to take on those roles instead of building. Notable exceptions are high tech enterprises, where proven paths to scale are commonplace and provide attractive returns for many.
The typical builder class is better off importing, subcontracting or outsourcing key value add operations. This creates several vacumms: local talent, cheap infrastructure (since decreased consumers increase prices) and, finally, weaker supplier networks.
Over time, these loops combine and grow, making it harder and harder for companies to compete. Incumbents exit the market unless governments step in and provide incentives that either offset externalities or reduce operations costs for corporations. As an example please check this article about the Mac Pro production in America: https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/23/tech/apple-mac-pro-united-sta...
Arguably, the quality of search engine results is somewhat subjective. Comparatively speaking, Google serves better results than its competitors. However, it's been widely known for some time that relevance goes down as the number of keywords increases.
It's not a good city for most. It's expensive, crowded, busy and difficult to live in. If you get a good job in the city and want to try it, sure, give it a shot. But most visitors end up moving elsewhere.
The value provided by Web3 is simple: now you can program property and ownership on the web.
This changes banking, finance, publishing, social media, etc. It's a huge change because users can take their data across platforms and avoid lock in. Imagine a single social profile that works across platforms (one single profile for Facebook, Twitter, Insta, etc). The possibilities are endless.
I suggest you keep digging in and make up your own mind. Don't let dismissive one liners dissuade you from learning.
Disclosure: I'm a founder of Web3 protocol called Bitfari.
Head to coinmarketcap for hundreds of disruptive web3 examples. To answer your question go to https://livepeer.com and look at a decentralized live streaming platform that provide savings today.
Also look up IPFS here https://ipfs.io - that will disrupt Amazon S3 among other services.

Sorry, that is a cheap attempt at avoiding the question.
And one which demonstrates your inability and unwillingness to even point out a single example you deem reasonable.
If you are unable to provide a single example of value being added, doesn't that mean that there is no tangible value being created?
Respectfully, I think you are an idiot. Let me explain: I've provided a single example when mentioning Livepeer below (it provides video streaming at a 95% discount). However, you chose to look over it, plus dismiss the entire trillion dollar crypto industry because you should be served the single example or answer that saves you from thinking or doing your own research. Essentially, the behavior of an idiot.
Bitcoin provides millions with a free bank account. That is the single best example of the value Web 3 provides. But you choose to avoid it. You also chose to overlook the Livepeer example, and even the entire Coinmarketcap list.
I think you should just continue looking the other way, because you just don't understand what's happening. No problem, in a decade you will.
Yes. The interoperability is a major point and is not really addressed as a Web3 benefit as much as it should be. Take the IPFS protocol. A single hash can link to a resource understood by an infinite number of distributed systems. This idea of Web3 consensus, infinite scalability is what Web3 means to me.
