Failed founders

Hey guys, I wanted to ask.. if you have spent one year as a founder - but couldnt secure a future. How do you get back to jobs ?

What do you write in the CV ?

I find this indian hiring culture very rude. Like most of the HR doesnt not even touch my resume after knowing this.

I would love to know your POV

but went on to become founder of multiple companies almost all got acquired, this is the thing i had too much time on hand

wrt work I work in web3 where opportunities are for skilled and im skilled enough to tackle everything

work at a fund now as a quant trader but it’s fun more or less

I still build a few products and sell them to people who’re looking to become founders and will take products off my ahnds
