Questions

Is it harmful to your CV if you state you have been an entrepreneur or are interested in being one, and then look for a job with someone? Would employers not like it if you have been the founder of a company before? and you need a job because the company may have not done well.

I would concur with Josh and yet add the dreaded "it depends".

Does it hurt to have been an entrepreneur?
Only if that is how you define yourself.
I'd love to talk with you about how you can define yourself by your abilities and passion, telling a story of grit that includes trying and failing. Sell the startup failure as boldness and it can actually help, because even big companies like the 'startup mindset'.

Let's chat about constructing this narrative and am sure you will actually learn something new about yourself!
