Thank you for sharing this. Like many others, I admire your courage and your honesty.
Entrepreneurship is a brutal business. Most startups fail, whether they are in the private or public sector. There is no shame in shutting down. The lessons you have learned (and shared so eloquently) will help future charity entrepreneurs be more effective and perhaps give them the knowledge to succeed.
I hope you will continue to look for opportunities and use the lessons in your next venture. You may not have had the impact you hoped for, but it is clear from the comments that you did make an impact among your fellow EAs. Don’t stop now — you are just getting started!
