I've been in that situation before. Are you a contractor or employee (w-2 vs 1099)? I've had people skip paying invoices. Also, once as an employee, the founders told me they were having financial troubles and wouldn't be able to pay me anymore. They asked me if I would work for free and I said no. They magically raised more money over the weekend to keep me on, but I left a couple weeks after that. Try to get a clear picture from the co-founder what those "delays" are and what you can expect. Professional, non-emotional communication is important. If you don't like the answer, or don't receive one, mention that you will start looking elsewhere because you have bills to pay and working for free wasn't part of your hiring agreement. Look through any documents you've signed to see what legal rights you have. It may need to end up in a small-claims court. Good luck!
