Focus on the next steps during and after your startup failure. It is important to introspect and understand the reasons behind your failure. But how does one go about it, quietly in your thoughts or openly in discussion with others? Having gone through this cycle recently, I will recount my experience, what worked and what didn't. What options are available and how to align opportunities with one’s long-term goals. What did I do to move on while keeping the startup passion alive? I will share my thoughts and experiences as a recently failed entrepreneur.
