Oh man! I'm laughing and crying at the same time. I had a very similar experience in my first "startup". It hurt me so bad, both financially and emotionally, that I could do another "startup" for 7 years.

Luckily, the next time I came across Steve Blank and YC Startup School materials and instead of burning all my cash over a two years I managed to FAIL my next three startups withing few weeks with a negligible cost.

Those books and articles saves your life and money!

This is yet another cautionary tale for founders.
