3 failed products across 2 different startups, over a period of about 3 years. I definitely feel I've learnt a great deal over the last few years. I've grown as a developer, but also learnt about things like management and marketing.
I think this is good advice. I've never worked in a corporate environment, and I might get a job just to see what that's like.
I'm definitely going to compile and reflect on all the mistakes I've made over the last couple years.
The success rate for VC-funded startups is historically about 10%. About 20% fail outright. The rest often end up in zombie mode, able to cover their expenses at some reduced level of activity but unable to pay back their investors.
In some ways it's better to fail. You have to stop and go do something else, rather than being on a death march to nowhere.
