Are you leaving, or are has the company actually gone bankrupt and laid you off.

If it's the latter, telling prospective employers that the company went bankrupt and potentially mentioning that they couldn't secure another round of funding should be more than enough.

If it's the former, it's trickier, especially if the company actually pulls through.

Either way I'd tone down the analysis - as a sometimes hiring manager I might be interested in your analysis that the company burned too much money, but not so much in the "in-depth" analysis of the founder's behaviour.

BTW, I've had to close down a company before because it went bankrupt. I have the utmost sympathy for the founder who spent the last couple of grand on weed.
