Starcycle

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. It's a topic close to our hearts as Starcycle was born from our own experiences of letting go and rebuilding. Here are 5 things to keep in mind during this challenging transition: 1. Acknowledge your feelings  2. Find strength in your support network 3. Be kind to yourself throughout the process 4. Reflect and learn from the experience 5. Maintain your healthy routines- future you will appreciate it. Many successful entrepreneurs have gone through shutdowns before. This is just one chapter in your story. Read our full blog post for more advice, and know that you're not alone in this journey. If you're going through a tough time with your business and need an empathetic conversation about what's next, we're here to help.

Things sometimes don't work out, but what really matters is getting back on your feet.

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...

We asked some of our users what drew them to Starcycle, and to paraphrase Steve here, finding support to help move early big rocks forward was key for his next filmmaking project. What are some big rocks that you're looking for help with?
