I don't usually login to post, but I just wanted to say, although I do not know your situation at all, if you're putting it up due to burn out, please take a second look and make sure what you're doing is for the best. Startups always have their down cycles, so I would hate for you to give away your company if it could be retained in some way, as burn out / down cycle are problems that can eventually be fixed.
I say this as I was on the brink of shutting my own startup very recently before I found my passion and drive for doing it again (after a burnout that took 8+ months to recover), and I'm very glad I ended up sticking with it.
I agree completely. Startups can feel a lot like "swimming" a marathon instead of running one, but what great rewards when the really hard work is done. I'm sure there are many circumstances that take anyone out of the game, but I agree with you. Maybe they could wait a while longer and see if they get through their down cycle??? I wish them good luck whichever way it goes!
