Shutting down

I’ve seen a number of situations recently where entrepreneurs decided to shut their startups down while they still had cash in the bank. (Contrary to popular mythology, I’ve never seen a case where investors forced an early-stage startup to shut down before they ran out of cash — it has always been voluntary).  Shutting down is an incredibly hard thing to do.  It takes great maturity and intellectual honesty to realize things aren’t going the way you hoped and that it might be better to just close shop and do something else.

Some good advice on how to handle things when it just doesn’t work out.
