We entered that zombie phase our 5th year in business. Now we are in our 9th year and have ticked along slowly slowly decling a bit each year. Down to two employees and probably have one year left to go. All investors except for our single biggest have said we should shut down largely so I can personally move on. Our biggest has been happy to see us stay alive being that there’s still a chance for success they believe.

It’s largely been depressing coasting as a zombie. Making enough money to pay the bills but not enough to save or do anything for the future, but have been afraid to start something again for fear of going down this same route again.
