Ask HN: I am at a loss. What shall I do?

I started a startup about 1.5 years ago and raised about $100k. However, most of that is spent on ads, travel and meeting with accelerator mandatory workshops. I have $50k in bank now. I am not drawing salary and living on my savings at this point.

It is incredibly hard to survive without any income on the west coast. I have considered moving but all other obligations doesn't let that happen.

I don't know if I am burned out or something is wrong with my brain. I am just numb to everything since 2023 when my father passed away.

So far we have made $4k but that's it. We released a product in February after significant delay in development. That product flopped. We have made one sale.

I know talking to customer is a cliche at this point. But, I am just not finding anyone to talk to. I have little to no network. Most of our software is for Marketing folks. I am using LinkedIn as primary channel and I do get 3% response. But, it is either not interested or sometime in the future.

I am at a crosspoint now. I don't know if I should continue to work on my startup.

I am relying on drawing from my savings but it is not sustainable. I desperately want to make it work and earn at least living expenses through my work.

I have spent a decade or more in tech but as an introvert and partly autist, I have kept to myself.

How do I find users to talk to and how can I reach out to them? I am finding that building without verifying or talking to users is a costly affair.

I would love to get some guidance.
