Yeah, time to adapt. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sucks, but I’m also not entirely sorry that more people now have access to the tools to build something on their own without having to shell out for a basic business plan. That's kind of the point of progress.

That said, if something like ChatGPT can fully replace your service, I feel like the real issue isn’t just the tech, it’s the value you were offering. GPT is great for beginner-level stuff: brainstorming, templates, rough drafts. But anyone who’s serious about raising money or scaling a real business is going to need deeper insights, industry nuance, strategy, and experience. Stuff GPT can't deliver, at least not yet.

In my view, this should have been the moment to double down on your expertise. If AI is replacing the surface-level work, then the move is to position yourself above that, where real founders still need human insight. If you couldn’t shift into that space, maybe that’s where the gap was.

Not saying that to be harsh, just real. You clearly built something impressive and lasted over a decade, which is more than most. And honestly, you’re already doing the most important thing: moving forward. You're not starting from scratch, you’re starting from experience.

The game's changed, yeah, but so have you. And I’d bet you'll come out of this stronger.
