You say you’re not cut out for it, but that you want to try again in a year. To me that signals that you’re just overwhelmed in the moment. Startups are hard, that isn’t going to change in a year. There’s always going to be technical debt and you’re never going to have a perfect hiring record.

I think you should take a moment to breathe, talk to your cofounders about your feelings, and try to work through this. It’s hard, but you can do it.
