I know your questions are practical, and you have not disclosed your emotional state, but I also know firsthand that shutting down a startup can be traumatic. Even as you address the practical issues, take care of yourself and do the inner work to process everything you have experienced.

I wrote a book titled "Eating Glass" specifically about the emotional journey through a failure like this [0] and put numerous chapters online for free [1]. My primary goal with the book is to help others, so I'd be happy to send you a free digital copy if that's of interest.

Good luck to you... you now possess valuable knowledge and wisdom to help you in your next venture and in life.
