# Abandon Founding

`POST /founding/{founding_id}/abandon`

Start over: flip to ``abandoned``, which frees the handle reserve.

Only from an OPEN status — a founded company is not something a page button
should be able to walk back, and abandoning a ``rejected`` row would lose the
distinction the two statuses exist to keep.

## Path parameters

- `founding_id` string, uuid, required
