Things don't always go as planned in the startup world, but it's how we bounce back that truly counts. In our latest blog post, we open up about the emotional journey of shutting down a business.

Things sometimes don't work out, but what really matters is getting back on your feet. Earlier this week, our founder Jaclyn Siu opened up about her journey through the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, and how her own experience with letting go and rebuilding led her to support other founders going through hard times with Starcycle. Thank you to our friends at Welcome To Chinatown for hosting us! ___ If you need a warm, empathetic conversation about what's next for you and your business, we're here to help.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, business owner or just a human being – failure is part of every process. We’re so grateful to Wen-Jay Ying (Local Roots NYC) and Jaclyn Siu (Starcycle) for sharing their journeys with us last night, and to Linus L.T. Li for moderating! The conversation spanned unexpected journeys, family influence, hot takes and internal mottos to keep us going. "If you think of anyone else in your life who has started something new, you'd just simply be proud of them for taking that leap, regardless of outcome. Why not give yourself that grace too?" - Jaclyn Siu "I still cringe at the word 'failing' because my upbringing doesn't allow me to accept that. But I truly think that the only failure is if you don't accept moments to be lessons. And every lesson should lead in extreme moments of growth, and become a catalyst for habit changes." - Wen-Jay Ying This was our first “Failing Forward” panel, and we’re excited for more in the future!

Always excited to see companies being bullish on supporting founders. Proud to say that Starcycle is not only a Brex client, but also will be giving back to Brex's community of entrepreneurs: Starting today, all Brex clients will receive an exclusive discount when winding up their companies with Starcycle. Being a founder requires a ton of grit and resilience, and I couldn't be prouder to stand with a company like Brex to support entrepreneurs at critical moments of their life cycle. Big moves for Brex today — congrats to Richie Wu and team, and thank you Reed M. and Conor Bradshaw for making our partnership happen!
It’s official—we can say the B word! That’s right, thanks to our partnership with Column, our Brex business account now delivers a supercharged BANKING experience that helps you protect your cash and extend your runway. See how we reimagined startup banking to help you scale faster here: https://bit.ly/3Ry59jz

One of my favorite parts of building Starcycle is the opportunity to dive into all different kinds of models on our quest to better support small business owners with AI. Excited to get early access to Google's Gemini 1.5 Pro. Time to experiment 🦾

👋 Calling business owners, founders, current or ex-operators, and their friends! Are you someone who... 🤝 Has successfully sold, or acquired, a business? 🤞 Is in the process of selling or acquiring a business? 🤔 Tried to sell or acquire a business (but didn't, or weren't able to)? 🫡 Had to shut down your company? (Or do you know someone who fits any of those descriptions?) I'd love to ask you a few questions. I know first-hand that these scenarios are extremely emotionally taxing, tedious, and confusing — and I'd love to hear from your experience and learn how it could be better. The conversation will remain entirely confidential. In return, I'm offering a free business or career consultation as part of the call, informed by my 15+ years of experience in marketing, branding, sales, growth, tech, and operations, as well as my hands-on experience as a 3x founder, investor, and advisor — so ask me anything. DMs are open, or please make yourself known (or tag a friend) in the comments 👇 LinkedIn, work your magic...
