Tell HN: I didn't get a job due to a failed startup on my resume
My startup went down the pan due to lack of money (what's new?) I was always told the expereince you get from a failed startup is a good thing. Well, a certain large software company doesn't seem to think so. Apparently, "as an entrepeneur you are obviously a free spirit, not the kind of person that settles well in a normal job, we would never hire people with a failed startup on their resume". Thanks HN. You lied to me about the true cost of a failed startup.
