I'll echo a few of the other responses, but with a slight twist.

I think you should look at Product Management in software. It is a field that requires a broad range of skills, including a very good understanding of how software is really made. But you also have to understand business, and then balance trade-offs between business needs and the amount of software that your team has time to crank out.

You will have to be both bold and humble. Bold in that you will have to be brave enough to try something new: You haven't been a Product Manager officially before, but your startup experience counts for a lot. Humble in that you can't say that you know exactly how to do Product Management, but it is such a multi-disciplinary role that is different for each team that you might work with that it is a place where you can go, and learn more and more for the next 10 years in your career.

Of course, that said, I'm talking about Silicon Valley. There are tons of jobs both for Product Managers and Programmers. So go interview. Go check out Monster, or Craigslist, and go find a few interviews for Product Manager positions. I know just about every startup in the valley is looking for both, and they also prefer people with previous startup experience.

I wish you the best of luck.
