Have you failed at a startup & business and experienced recruiting as a business owner/founder / have you had skin in the game here?

Having failed 4Q19 at my startup, and tried finding work elsewhere, employers have rejected me left and right.

I'm no longer positioning myself as a founder/business owner, instead choosing a more traditional function, and deleting any reference to me being a founder / having done practically every single function.

Research out of U Oregon confirms my experience. https://business.uoregon.edu/news/job-prospects-former-start...

YMMV. Some companies will not hire people that they feel are too entrepreneurial. Sitting in a cubicle and being happy is a much different mindset for someone who has run their own business before.
