What kinds of jobs are you applying for? Your first job talks more about the business side of starting this startup than your technical experience.

I think there needs to be an emphasis on your technical proficiency and less about the status of your startup. Are you even interested in a job given your startup?

software/product engineer. I'm also open to being a product manager.

Startup will go into life support on mid feb after MVP launch. Word of mouth takes a lot of time to grow, so growth is a slow burn.

I haven't been able to write code at my startup for most of my time here. It's split between reviewing code, sales, or product work. I do mention some technical work, but I'm wearing many hats, so it's a bit hard to show mainly technical exp.

You should have several resumes. Your SWE resume should focus heavily on your technical abilities. Your PM resume can talk more about this other stuff (not an expert).

As it stands, I’m not sure who would be hiring somebody with a founder/manager profile like yours.

I think you do have enough technical experience. You just have to sell it.
