Hello! I've been in a very similar position. Both the lackluster acquisition and the failure.
I really feel it when you say you feel like you're the jack of all trades but master of none. I had the exact same anxiety about my skillset and it was really tough to figure out how I was employable.
The good news is your mix of skills are actually highly sought after. The ability to understand all facets of the business _including_ the hard technical stuff is actually fairly rare.
The work I do now sometimes looks like management consulting, sometimes looks like contract software development.
I help companies build out prototypes quickly. I help them transition their dev teams to new paradigms (microservices, etc). I help them review their codebases and see how they're stacking up against best practice. I advise nontechnical founders on how to hire technical staff and how to think about technical strategy in "CTO as a service" engagements.
There is demand out there for what you've got to offer. When you're ready, start networking again and focus on selling yourself. You'll find more buyers than you expect.
