Both Andrew and the Investor sound like jerks to me. Sometimes you have to deal with jerks and sometimes you have more than one jerk to deal with. Building a team that works well with each other is hard to do. I don't know at what stage the project is at yet, or if you have the equity to give to the team. How well are they paid? I figured if they are paid well like at least the average salary for their position, there is no need to distribute equity until the project is finished. The problem might be that your startup doesn't have any income yet, so you can't distribute what you don't have. I hope each member of the team has signed a contract, one that has a non-compete clause in case they do walk and take IP with them. You need to look for another investor or do some crowdfunding to raise funds to replace him. No matter what choice you take, fire Andrew or get rid of the investor or even do both, you will be in for a hard time.
