Dear Toros.
are you trying to say that, the person who have had so many successes in life is forced to leave the stories behind and search for a new opportunity? If that is the case, I'd say that there is always a new beginning.
I have had faced similar situations before, so speaking from my experience, a job is something that can keep you occupied at the same time give you time to re-structure and analyze what went wrong and where.
More networks and more opportunities.
I survive in one of the toughest markets of the world, India.
Basically, its just one more lession learned in your kitty.
There is success and something like success, above all it is the failure that realy matters.
If this is not the case, please tell me more.

Some people are natural risk takers and the results (good or bad) comes with the territory.
Sometimes we make decisions that leave us at the negative end of the spectrum.
Then it is to learn from the experience and start again.
Start again - is a daunting endeavour for sure.

It is fine, it does many happened to so many people. Keep the story short and admit what has gone wrong.

The new management does understand that You are passionate and skilled to perform new roles, accept and correcting the mistakes, which happened due to some misunderstanding or wrong perceptions or cultural differences, which you are woking on positively. 

 

Your quote shall be....

"I have thought about this a great deal and I can understand now what went wrong. I did not have a clear understanding of the task expectations. I should have asked for further clarification and support. I have learned from this and am positive about being able to make a valuable contribution to this organization."

Dear Toros, I think if you explaing objectively and with facts it should be fine.
The very fact that you decided to join with this investor for a new venture shows a great quality that you are not averse to risks but you need to prove that it is a calculated risk and not one taken on gut feeling.
It is quite common for a non professional investor to commit to a project and midway back out of it.
This could be due to the depressed economic conditions or clear lack of vision or commitment from the investor.
Sometimes the investor promises to invest an "X" amount of money and then once the operations are started with a part of "X" will expect you to arrange the balance.
It basically boils down to lack of professionalism.
I would see it this way, its better that happened in the begining of the project.
I think a rational employer will be able to understand your reasons.

be transparent and admit the step you have taken.

 

The employeer may take it positive on your risk taking capability.

Successes should never be kept out from one's porfolio,  worng and right decisions are part of managing a business.   I always keep in mind the motto of my former boss that if you are compelled to make a decision, always make it on the SAFE SIDE.   Past decisions whether right or wrong should be treated as a learning experience for your future endeavors.
