Starting a New Career After Failed Startup

What's the best way to present myself to a new employer after closing my game startup? While the business didn't work out, I feel that I've learned a ton. I'm having trouble separating what I've learned from the fate of my business.

I think you should emphasize the fact that you are a creative person, that is willing to take chances in order to promote new ideas. You can call yourself an initiator /promoter... Believe it or not most of the people in the world don't have the guts to develop a new idea. I think you should also mention the fact that you are experienced , people with an experience like yours defiantly learn a lot and do things better in the future because of that. Some times we need to fall in order to get up again ( I think it is a good cliche for you).  Don't forget that there is not much you can do about the past , see what you have learned from the past and implement it on the future.

 

Good Luck

Yep, I'm right with you on this. I'm promoting myself as a "Growth Catalyst" and playing up my ability to find new markets and generate new ideas.  Thanks for confirming my take on this.
