Ask HN: Career path for founder of a failed venture backed startup?

Have you considered going back to finish your degree? If you think you might want to finish it at some point, the sooner the better, because it will only become more difficult to go back to an academic environment. Also, school could give you a chance to step back and "relax" while you figure out your next play.

I've been thinking about my prospects in 5 years and finishing up school is on my radar. What exactly is the process for this? Do I roll into Stanford with burnt VC cash in hand, looking for a degree?

I strongly suggest doing this sooner rather than later.

Not only for the reason teuobk noted, but because many schools have a time limit on how long they'll consider a credit valid towards graduation.
