Depending on how successful your job searching is going, you should be able to negotiate offers with a postponed start date (say, 3 months in the future after your company folds). A proper job search can last one or two months, so your timing is great to start now.

Job searching while unemployed can be nice, but it's better to be safer than sorry and have a future job lined up.

Another thing to keep in mind is that not many companies hire during the holidays, so the best window you'll have to conduct your job search is now. Otherwise you're likely going to likely have to wait until January to begin job searching.
