What I Would Do Differently: Lessons from a Startup That Closed
Reflections on a “Failed” Startup
It’s been almost two weeks since we closed Rêve Health. This was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Many founders don’t talk about the startups that fail, but I believe in learning from experience. I spent a ton of time and money and my entire identity was wrapped up in being the CEO of a healthcare startup for nearly 18 months. That’s something that doesn’t simply go away–and many founder struggle after this type of “failure.”
I am now reflecting on the lessons learned and things I would do differently in the hope that this wisdom may help other founders, or even larger businesses when deciding to pull the plug on a product line or service.
