Never Hated Anything More than Shutting Down my YC Startup…

I went through YC in 2018. I had visions of running a trillion-dollar startup and surfing with Zuck into the sunset.

Over 4 years, I had built 2 startups. We sold one but had to shut down the other.

After finally calling it quits, I was burnt out. All I wanted was a clean break, but instead, what I got was a metric ton of the world’s worst chores.

It was the never-ending long tail of dissolution. Another email to our lawyers, doc to sign, government to pay, service to cancel, asset to liquidate, tax form to file. It was like being anchored to a manipulative ex who wouldn’t let me move on.

I just wanted to dissolve a company that no longer “existed” — at least in my mind. I just wanted closure…

In the end, the dissolution process took over 6 months of my life to complete.

I’ve sat with this pain/frustration for a while. At one of my lowest points in life, this process kept knocking me down further. Hence me writing this — I want to help founders in the same position I was in. I want to give founders freedom from the nagging, gnawing, and relentless stress of dissolving a company.

I’ve got a lawyer, an accountant, and a system to take the endless dissolution tasks completely off your hands.

We should chat if:

1. Your company is thinking about or is anywhere in the process of shutting down/dissolving
2. You already went through this nightmare, I’d love to hear your story and see if there are more ways we can help other founders.

I've worked with a few YC companies already but am still extremely early on in this journey. You can learn more about what we do here (www.sunsethq.co) but if you have any feedback - I'd genuinely love to hear it.
