Apologies but I stopped reading after that sentence in the very-very top of the article.
What does she mean "I had never considered"? What kind of immature and juvenile mindset is that? You plan for the success, and you also plan for the failure.
It's sad that this happened (I take no joy on someone else's pain), and at the same time I am surprised this happened.
To the positive outlook, you have built a team and have some equipment? Where/how else can you use that? As I know very little about your space, can you start doing blood-lab-work collaborating with clinics? Can you do a 23-and-me-like service? Can you sell all the hardware, cash-out at a loss, chillax for a few months, re-group and figure out what to do next? Perhaps go work for a big pharma or similar?
It's never the end, it's always one hurdle and perhaps a change of direction. Hang in there, all will be well. In 2-3 years you will be looking back at this moment and think "huh.. why was I even worried???"
EDIT: I read the full thing halfway through my note, but didn't go back up to change it.. still.. that phrase is a facepalm moment. I propose to many the "The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living". I've gone through it twice, read/think/journal daily. It asks some very good questions, and it would have prepared the author of that post for such outcome.
