Ask HN: How to get a job after a failed startup?

16 points

I worked it for 8 months. I've now completely exhausted my savings. Our product is live but the growth is super slow. There is no way I can see it reaching product market fit. Investors are not interested with such low numbers.

I am a product guy with moderate level tech skills.

Should I keep the startup on my resume (with reason for shutting down + lessons)? Or should I leave it out from my resume and instead add the product we built as a 'project'?

I'm looking at product management jobs or software engineering jobs.
