Knowing when to quit is actually a big plus. Plenty of people go for broke and end up with absolutely nothing. So don't berate yourself for that.
You see it as mostly luck and I'd agree with that, start-ups are a big lottery. But there is also skill involved and without that skill you'd get nowhere, you need both, skill and luck.
I hope you'll do 42floors in a way that makes you feel more confident about the outcome. Regardless of how you feel today, 20 years from now you'll look back at this first company you were a part of and you'll see it as the best school you ever went to.

Don't knock it, you made it further than most.
