Shutting Down a Startup: Legal and Emotional Survival Guide

We talk so much about fundraising, scaling, and exits. But almost never about what happens when you realise it’s not going to work.So where do you go from there? How do you handle the guilt, the investor conversations, the legal details, and the reality of closing a company — financially, professionally, and personally?In this episode of Women in the Building, we’re joined by an investor who has backed over 200 companies and a competition law expert who’s also been a tech founder. We break down why startups really fail, why funding is often just a symptom, how to spot product–market fit issues, and how to know when to pivot — or walk away.***Contact us: Email: [email protected]***Website: https://www.auroratechaward.com/?utm_source=podcast_description&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=women_in_the_building_271125***Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/aurora-tech-award/***Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auroratechaward***This podcast is produced by Libo/Libo studio
