It depends. If you have enough savings, you can take the much needed time-off and clear your mind and then work on another problem to solve. If money is the issue then get a consulting or freelancing gig (plenty of info on HN how to get 1). Write a guest blog post on why your Startup failed. Also there are plenty of people looking for Co-founders. The worst mistake is to not start something new because you think you may fail again.

The part about not starting something new out of fear of failure is the best advice ever. Even if your startup 'fails' you would've gained a hell of a lot skills out of building it, call it 'personal capital' and the best thing you could do is reinvest it in a new startup instead of letting it go to waste.
