I think this is an incredibly interesting post.

Point of reference: My background is in software product management at Bay Area startups, and then I went to go get my MBA (finishing soon... hopefully...).

I mention the MBA thing because in my entrepreneurship classes, I'm often the only one saying that X should keep going with their business even when things aren't looking too bright (I've found that most MBAs natural inclinations are to exit a business because being making a startup work is exponentially more difficult).

With that being said, I think it takes a tremendous amount of maturity and awareness to know when to kill your startup. Personally, I think this makes you a better entrepreneur, and I wish you the best of luck on whatever you attempt next.
