Justin Kan is the founder of Justin.tv and Socialcam. You can follow him on Twitter here and read his blog here. Startups die in many ways, but in the past couple of years I?ve noticed that the most common cause of death is what I call ?Startup Suicide?, a phenomenon in which a startup's founders and its management kill the company while it?s still very much breathing. Long before startups get to the point of delinquent electricity bills or serious payroll cuts, they implode. The people in them give up and move on to do other things, or they realize that startups are hard and can cause a massive amount of mental and physical exhaustion -- or the founders get jobs at other companies, go back to school, or simply move out of the valley and disappear.
