Sounds like you're having a typical experience in the current market. I just went through this being an early employee at a startup for the past three years and us suddenly meeting the end of our runway. It took a few months to land a new SWE role. Keep up the hunt. I would stay involved with your startup as long as possible if you're worried about a gap on your resume.

Thanks, obviously things have slowed down now because it's just Nov / Dec which is historically always a slow time of year for hiring. I'm just starting to lose hope because I started fielding my resume about four months ago - only a few bites so far and my emergency funds are running low. Feels shameful to have to dip into my savings.
